I don't think it really needs to be addressed yet, but I do think the numbers are indeed up with the number of players that are choosing this avenue. It seems more high-profile players are in the last couple of years anyways. I thought it was more a 'blip' than a 'thing' - now I am not so sure.
So now we can go "Pffft... typical NCAA player."
