I think moving the age limit up to 19 is a step in the right direction. I would have preferred something along the lines of the NFL of being 2/3 years removed from High School. That way, a player could conceivably still be 19 and elegible for the draft. Yet, the thing that I think would have made more of an impact would have been to do away with guaranteed contracts to players entering the league. I think this would have deterred most HS players from entering the draft straight out of HS.
