You also don't often see NCAA 1st rounders fail to sign. Kevin Hayes is an anomaly.
The NCAA guys that go to free agency are mid to late round picks. If anything, it suggests taking fliers on NCAA players is a bit more of a risk, but hardly one that requires an overhaul of the rules.
Besides, if you can't sign a guy in 4 years, who's fault is that really. It's not the player's.
