High school senior foregoing senior football season to prepare for college

Will these guys be isolated incidents or a trend. We already see guys going overseas to play pro basketball instead of going to college. And the G league had a team of elite high school grads including Jalen Green. Plus, I think with a new NBA CBA, I think we will see high school seniors be able to enter the draft again. I don't know how it will affect the overall play of college basekeball.

Depends on how successful these two kids are. One of the reasons a slew of HS kids entered the draft in the late 90s was because of the success of KG and Kobe.
