Probably few give little credence to what Bruce Pearl ever says but I for one agree the age limit should be increased and in this case Pearl is right on. imo

New Auburn coach Bruce Pearl has his own thoughts on the NBA increasing the minimum age requirement for players to be drafted — which could have a huge impact on UK if the age limit is raised.

“I think the NBA game would be better. Too many guys have gone early, gotten drafted and gotten that contract, but when it came time to get paid on that second contract weren’t ready because they were too young,” Pearl said.

“Our game is in great shape, but, boy, it would bolster our game. I personally think the student-athletes would win, the NBA game would win, our game would win, fans would win. It would be the perfect adjustment to the current rule.”
