Kentucky coach John Calipari had four freshmen declare for last year’s draft. All four were selected in the first round. Still, Calipari questions the rules value to college basketball.

"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.

"I tell kids early on, if you want to do what's right for you and your family, you should probably put your name in the draft," Calipari said. "If you want to do what's right for me and my family, why don't you stay a couple more years so we can win a lot more games?"
