Agree, as long as said player doesn't pick up an agent before going to combine.


Actually, I almost think it would be better if players were able to get advice before going to the combine. They only problem I would draw with this is that there are a limited number of players invited to the combine, and if a large percentage of them go back to college every year.....that's not really fair.

Let them get the advice they need and evaluations before the combine, and reserve combine spots for guys who are definitely gone.

Yea, but signing with an agent basically undermines the whole agenda here. An agent is never going to tell a kid to go back to school. They only care about their own wallet.

I'm all for letting them test the waters and attend the combine before making a decision, but signing with an agent should equal the end of amateur status.
