I tend to resonate with the idea of being clay in the Potter's Hand (Jer.18:6) as well as living life set on pilgrimage (Ps.84:5 niv). Hence the title for my blog, Clay Pilgrim. I strive to live my life simply, authentically, intentionally, and missionally. My desire is to live life proclaiming the One who gave LIFE. I write about things that come to my mind at any given time. My posts may be thought provoking, spiritually edifying, or just plain musings about sports. Either way: Engage!

Declaring eligibility
I read this article by Gene Wojciechowski on ESPN. He definitely sums up, a lot better than me I might add, how I feel on the issue of the age requirement for the NBA. In many many ways I think that the NBA should go back to allowing high school players to make the jump to the NBA. This spending one year in college rule is silly. In my opinion, it is hurting the college basketball game. Sure it helps the colleges/universities that reap the benefits i.e. $$$$$$ but it hurts the basketball programs for any potential to build a basketball program. I would much rather see players stay for their junior and senior seasons and build a college program than spend one year and hope that it ends up in a magical run to the Championship. Then again, I am old school and absolutely love college basketball way more than the NBA game. And I've also never been lured by the $$$$ in the NBA.

If we call Florida an anomoly or once-in-a-generation team, it would seem that to compete for national titles you have to recruit these one-and-done guys. Or at least recruit one of them once and a while to supplement the system teams like Wisconsin. If we don't get a least one superstar every two or three years, we'll never appear in a F4
