History

Historical Context

The NCAA's "one-and-done" rule, established in 1985, allowed college basketball players to enter the NBA Draft after just one season, reshaping recruitment strategies. This shift intensified competition, exemplified by Arizona Wildcats' coach Tommy Lloyd's pursuit of elite talent like five-star Cameron Williams.
