what happens if you declare but don't get drafted

From the amount of underclassmen declaring mixed in with seniors and oversees players I could see a few of these idiots not get drafted. I'm curious.

I understand it's all about the money but if you aren't guareenteed a good amount go back to school and improve your stock.

If you are not projected in the first round you should not go pro...it's just that simple. Please don't give me the injury possibilites or the drop in ranking..ala Hibbert....it rarely happens.

i like this mock draft and see players like Hickson from NC state that should go back for another year.

Then they go job-hunting, unless they are careful and don't hire an agent, sniff out the situation and withdraw before the draft occurs (10 days before?). Then the option of returning to school is still open, but this is a one-time-only provision. Declare again and it's for real.

Only two rounds in the draft means a number of good players (seniors and underclassmen) that do go undrafted will be invited to training camps where they might hook on or be signed in the development league. Also, there is the overseas option.

If u dont get drafted it isnt a big deal. Many people get signed out of free agency and still get some playing time as well as some good $$. If worst comes to worst u just make a few hundred thousand dollars playing in Europe.

I agree w/ you that it would be great to see college hoops' top stars return for at least 3 years, hopefully 4.  Of course, since any player can declare one year and pull out by a certain point before the draft, it makes it really easy and intriguing for the players to at least test the waters to see where they are ranked by scouts/teams.   If they think they've done enough to improve if they come back, they will most assuredly enter the draft again the next year and can't go back to school. 

While it's true that possible injuries aren't a huge motivator, some players have dropped in ranking if they have a lesser season when they come back.  You are only guaranteed money if drafted in the first round and will only get the great money right off if in the top half of the first round.  A small drop, like from 10 to 16, for example, could mean a big drop in pay.  It may not be the norm, but possible.  I do think there are some players who come from very poor backgrounds and do go earlier to help their families also.  Not saying, that's a significant amount, but there are some. 

Tyler Hansbrough and Stephen Curry are rare exceptions that come from backgrounds where their families have a positive influence towards them staying in school. 

I am a major college hoops guy.  I even do my own rankings w/ players.  It gets kind of frustrating to have to rank mostly new players each year instead of having more of the elite stay around.   Plus, as a fan, it's nice to have that familiarity on a fave team or just in the game in general. 

I truly hope the new proposed rule for players to have to stay in school at least two years passes. 

Hopefully, the scouts will tell most of these who entered that they need to return.  Of course, kiss Beasley, Gordon, Love, etc. goodbye.
