One and done basketball program lecturing anyone on academic merits of another's basketball program.
The irony is palpable.

Interesting, so not only are they one and done...but the actually go to class. Sorry, Mizzou sucks on the floor as a team and suck in the classroom. Funny our football team with a shitty APR score is still higher then Mizzou basketball.

Aren't 1 and domes only in school for 1 semester? And isn't eligibility for post season based off of that current semester? These dudes are taking base as courses I'm sure.

Nope, Still have to go to class and complete it in the spring semester.

Okay thanks for clarifying that. Have been told different.

The one semester thing is a (false) line a lot of folks against teams using the rule to their advantage trot out. While some programs have difficulty with convincing the kids to stay for the full second semester, we've only had one shite apple in the bunch screw the program by doing it.

I will say that a lot in the spring will utilize online courses if available with them traveling.
FWIW, if they weren't in good standing they also wouldn't be allowed to come back and attend on the Cawood Scholarship to finish their degrees. Anthony Davis, Eric Bledsoe, MKG, etc. have come back to take additional classes after leaving and utilize the facilities in the offseason.

I'm not saying they're dumb what so ever. I'm just saying the course load is probably pretty easy. That is nice though that Kentucky does that.

I think for most athletes the course load is pretty easy to be honest. There's a reason guys with something other than a sports administration major is usually up for "student-athlete of the year". The Josh Dobbs of the Big 3 sports world is the exception more than the rule. It is what it is though.

It depends on the desired future major of course but the load is incredibly easy for someone looking to just get through the first year of college.

I meant this by more basketball than football. And I realize the guys like Dobbs out there too. Couldn't imagine that, and being a leader of a team. Crazy!!

There are some amazing student-athletes at all the universities in the SEC no question. I have a hard time recognizing the "student" part of the equation for anyone knowingly going the one and done route, however. Im not saying they are unintelligent young men but lets be real about what is going on there.
It's not really comparable to a program that puts a student through 4 years to a bachelor's degree.
The NBA needs to get rid of the silly requirement and move to a system like in baseball in which you go to the minors or play at least three years in college. Woudl be better for all involved.
And no, I dont consider Porter JR a student-athlete being he is a one and done at Mizzou.

I'm right there with you man. Don't disagree

Exactly. UGA lost more players from the 2013 football recruiting class due to transfer and dismissal than it actually retained, largely why our APR is so low. Doesn't help either that a lot of guys were booted or left when richt was canned/Kirby came in. APR is almost more of a testament to the sales job to keep guys from going pro or not get dismissed than it is anything to do with academics (in this day and age of unlimited resources for student athletes, it's VERY hard for a kid to be ruled academically ineligible)

Totally depends on the institution. Some schools actively route athletes into certain majors to maintain high GPR (a more academically meaningful statistic than APR) while others try or are able to encourage diversity in major selection. An interesting stat would be number of different majors per student athlete at each school
