Personally, I don't buy into this. At the end of the day, teams want the best talent available. Anyone with a brain in their head knows that not every prospect will become elite. Teams shouldn't be told what to do by the league in terms of selecting or not selecting whomever is available. Most high school players who are taken in the later rounds have strong college commitments so they have no intention of signing anyway. If the player firmly believes they are the next thing since sliced bread, why delay their dream? Every single one of us invests in ourselves at one point or another. College isn't for everyone, however.
Regardless, this seemed like a great article to have some discussions.
