This year, the NCAA made a big college basketball rule change, which allows players to withdraw from the draft process after the NBA Combine, allowing players to receive real feedback on their prospects. It is an incredibly pro-player rule, one of the few that the NCAA has enacted in recent years, and as you’d expect, Kentucky head coach John Calipari is a fan. Today, he made an announcement that shouldn’t be all that surprising with the new rule, but will likely make some waves anyway: every single Kentucky player, walk-ons included, will enter the Draft in hopes of a combine invite.

Met with our team today. Told them that during the season it’s about the team and sacrificing for each other – which they did this year. — John Calipari (@UKCoachCalipari) March 23, 2016

When the season’s over, it’s about each individual player and what’s right for them and their families. — John Calipari (@UKCoachCalipari) March 23, 2016

With that being said, every player who is eligible for the draft, including our walk-ons, will submit their names for the NBA Draft … — John Calipari (@UKCoachCalipari) March 23, 2016

… in hopes of being invited to the combine in May. — John Calipari (@UKCoachCalipari) March 23, 2016

The new rule states they can submit their name a total of three times. If they choose to withdraw, they have until 10 days after the combine — John Calipari (@UKCoachCalipari) March 23, 2016

It’s a true win-win for the student-athlete. — John Calipari (@UKCoachCalipari) March 23, 2016

Calipari has long said that the NBA Draft is just as important for his program as the national championship. One of his program mottos is “succeed and proceed.” No one has gamed the one-and-done era like Calipari, so it is no surprise that he likes this new rule.
