expecting that the nazi stays gone. i mean, the guy turned 20 back in january. probably matthews, too, since he's already been in college for 4 years (3 seasons). could definitely see poole test and return, though. regardless...

I must have missed something. These guys can sign with agents and still test the waters and then come back to school as long as they pull out of the draft by a certain date?

The NCAA plans new rules for the sport it says will minimize corruption -- among them, allowing agents the association certifies to represent college players.

i'm confused. i'm reading here that the player can return after the draft if not drafted. i'm reading elsewhere, though, that players have until 5/29 (10 days after the combine, 3 weeks before the draft) to withdraw from draft consideration and therefore retain college eligibility.

It's very confusing. Not gonna be making any assumptions about teams roster's until next season's about to start, ha.

Very difficult for coaches to plan if it's true that the player can come back if undrafted.

the latter part is what I always understood. From reading what Jake linked it sounds llike what you have stated. Now I am really confused.

 

[LitlBuck]

I guess the difference now is that they can have a agent represent them but the deadlines are still there. So they can go to the "workouts" and see where they might get drafted.

 

[nomatta]

Yeah... huh?

From the article: "Eligible athletes can return for college play if they notify their athletics director of their intent to do so by 5 p.m. the Monday following the draft."
