My Gut Reaction to Jalen Green Signing a G-League Deal

Congrats on Jalen Green for taking the road less travelled, hell it’s the road never travelled by announcing that he will forgo any college basketball eligibility and sign a special G-League contract that should net the top high school recruit and probable #1 draft pick in the 2021 class $500,000-$1,000,000. The deal also includes a one-year development program outside of the minor league’s traditional team structure. There are several other high level high school prospects, including Isaiah Todd, in talks to ink similar deals and the fallout within the talking heads of college basketball has been in a word, fatalistic, in terms of the future of college basketball.
