[QUOTE="OldSchool101, post: 1035433, member: 10086"] Maybe the term “pro ready” wasn’t the best term. Let’s call it more mature. I’m probably just regurgitating lingo used by scouts when I read their analysis. I don’t know that anyone is ready for the Pro environment the ones we think are often spiral into nothingness. I just think there’s a marked difference between a college Junior from 1 program declaring and that same player across a full 4 seasons + AND being 18 months years older (also playing in multiple programs) I graduated HS as a 17 year old and I can assure you when I ran Track (this goes for any of the 3 sports I played through HS) as a 16 year old Junior against a 19 year Senior in the same event, it was a noticeable difference in maturity and I’m not the one who initially noticed the disparity, so there was zero conflict of interest in my part. Even half of that or 1.5 years of growth can spell the difference between a 5’10” 175lb athlete and a 6’1 X 200 pounder if that makes sense. Thats just the physical side what about the raw experience that 19 year old got from being held back a year or getting a 5th go at it. Age is a huge factor for young men playing sports and it often plays a vital role in draft placement. How many players do we see declaring early for the draft that should’ve stayed at least 1 more season to improve their stock. Now they can if they get compensated or have a chance to go to a program that puts their talent on full display. Call it strengthening their stock and that’s absolutely an outcome of NIL. I never considered the contractual advantages, but that’s a good angle also, but probably benefiting the individual. It still affects the scenario caused by NIL so good thought there. [/QUOTE]
