Mulling early jump to UNC, McAdoo could become face of growing trend

Posted Jun 3, 2010
James McAdoo would be the face of a growing trend that has confused the hoops world. Is this rush to college a good or bad thing for the prospects? Will it become so prevalent -- or exploited -- that the NCAA will feel the need to pass legislation mandating at least four years of high school before playing college hoops? Should we bemoan the players' loss of priceless senior-year memories? Even Ronnie McAdoo has some hesitations about it, saying, "The negative of James leaving would be that we'd be losing our son a year earlier, which we'd hate to happen. But I want James to make the decision that's right for him." (Sports Illustrated)
