It’s not a loophole. It’s the same as Andy other unsigned drafted player. Except a player drafted out of NCAA has a 4 year signing window vs a junior player has a 2 year signing window before they resented the draft and another 2 year signing window before they’re a free agent.
The only major difference being that the junior player can be signed and left in junior whereas the NCAA player can’t be signed unless they want to terminate their college eligibility.
This is a problem with how the NCAA treats their players. They should be treated just like junior players, but then be subject to the draft after 2 years as well.
