Arizona & Lute Olson "Done with one and done players"

Brandon Jennings' decision to forgo college and his verbal agreement with Arizona and play in Europe for a year before entering the NBA Draft has had a resounding impact upon his once future home. The LA Times reported today that Arizona head coach Lute Olson has become fed up with dealing with one and done players, like Jerryd Bayless who just left the Wildcats, and prep star Jennings. Olson was quoted as saying "It's a situation now that if someone's a 'one-and-done,' we're not going to pursue them anymore, no way,". Now, I get his frustration, these guys put in hundreds of hours recruiting these guys and trying to win them over, and then they come and go as they please just because it's not a place they really want to be, they want to go to the NBA. However, is Arizona now going to be able to compete at the highest level in college basketball? This problem rests on the shoulders of the NBA; they need to turn the D-League into their minor league system and let kids who want to go straight to the league play 2 years in the D-League before they can be brought up. That takes away the problem of ruining college programs and gives the kids time to mature without the spotlight on them 24/7, but they're still playing pro ball. It'll never happen, but it could be a nice compromise for everybody.
