I say bring it back, I thought it was fun when H.S. players were in the draft. If they turn out to be a bust that is on them and the team that took the risk.

It's not like MU gets hardly any of these kinds of players anyway.

Sure it's cool to see these elite players in college, but you can also have Ben Simmons-esque debacles that raise questions about it.

I could argue that college ball was just as fun to watch when players could go straight to the league. Maybe even more fun.
