08:21 AM ET 03.17 | John Calipari lost an almost absurd amount of young talent to the the NBA last season, and yet he keeps reloading. No college coach better embraces the concept of "one-and-done" than Calipari. "Sometimes I don't think people will listen when I say this: I don't like the rule. I don't like the one-and-done. I don't think it's good for college, I don't think it's good for the NBA. But it's a rule we have to live with. I recruit the best players I can recruit and I don't try to hold them back," Calipari said. "You say embrace it? It's what the rule is. Now the option is, why do I recruit such good players? Because they want to play for me and I want to coach them."

Good to see you back BB9. I had to carry on your opening statement for a few days in your absence and the crew "not so politely" informed me I wasn't as good at it as you are!

Morn' Colonel.
There is something that can be done about it (one way or the other) but no one has the guts to do it!
Just my opinion though.

Good to catch up. Can't hang around to long but I am cautiously optimistic. Colonel, in my bracket I got a "collision" coming with your cats. I think you know how my bracket plays out and I am quite sure I know how you filled yours' out. Should be an entertaining one.

"One and done"...

It's the NBA that set "1 year removed" policy. The NBA also has a development league which further drains the talent pool. I agree with Calipari that it's not good for colleges or the NBA.

Yep, it is where I come from!
Brotha, I think your mind operates on a higher plane than mine...but the only way to get on a lower plane than mine would be to dig a hole.

Calishady will say anything when you put a mic in front of him. The one and done has revived his "career" without it, he'd be a snake oil salesman. UK sold their soul (if they had 1) to the Lucifer and won't get another title with a bunch of one and done. They aren't students, they are just athletes who won't be on campus after the Big Dance. Their best talent already has an agent, World Wide Wes. NCAA is too lazy to clean up this crap in the Bluegrass.

I think they should learn how to play defense before going to the NBA. Oh wait, we're talking about the NBA. Nevermind.
