Visit the NCAA (National Collegiate Athletic Association) site... I know they have a table that provides rates for individual schools, and I think they also provide rates based on particular sports, gender, and race...I also know that Stanford is praised for the very high graduation rates of its Black athletes

Shot percentages: He/She went 12/30 which would be 40%\nPer game averages: 12.2 rebounds, 3.1 blocks, 2.1 steals, ect\nYou can also break the plays down to see which player takes most of the shots, makes most of the shots, what play the coach calls the most... I'm sure there is more too

All U.S. players are automatically eligible upon the end of their college eligibility. Through 2005, U.S. players were also allowed to declare eligibility for the draft at any time between high school graduation and the completion of college eligibility. International players could declare eligibility in the calendar year of their 18th birthday, or later.\n\nStarting with the 2006 NBA Draft, the eligibility rules have changed:\n\nAll players, regardless of nationality, must be at least 19 years old during the calendar year of the draft. \nA U.S. player must also be at least one year removed from the graduation of his high school class. \nThis age limit for draftees is part of the new collective bargaining agreement between the league and its players union.\n\nThe NBA has established two draft declaration dates. All players who wish to be drafted, and are not automatically eligible, must declare their eligibility on or before the first declaration date. Following this, the NBA runs several pre-draft camps for prospective draftees to allow them to show their skills to the league's teams, which may also audition players individually. A player may withdraw his name from consideration from the draft at any time before the final declaration date, one week before the draft. Players do not lose their college eligibility by declaring for the draft on the initial date, unless they have, in any previous year, declared and withdrawn from the draft; however, if they stay in the draft at the final declaration date, they lose further college eligibility, whether or not they are drafted. Also, signing with an agent automatically ends a player's college eligibility. Underclassmen may withdraw from the draft only once\n\nWhen a player is selected in the first round of the draft, the team that selected him is required to sign him to at least a one-year contract. Players selected in the second round are "owned" by the team for three years, but the teams are not required to sign them.

I think they do.  It depends on which team shows up.  Sometimes they play great, sometimes just average.  But it will be tough getting through Boston College or Villanova.

There are a lot of good basketball players out there.

I agree in that I prefer college basketball over the NBA.\n\nI feel that the defense and offense in the NBA is formulaic.  Players have seen all the plays, traps, know the ins and outs, and knook and cranny of the basketball court.  I feel that this only limits as to what an accomplished NBA basketball player can do in terms of mobility and shot selection.  The only time is when one of those players (perhaps Kobe, definitely MJ) can break through that mundane mindset and trap, that make the game interesting and worth every minute at the water cooler.\n\nCollege basketball players live for the moment, and play every game with as much enthusiasm, heart, and passion.  Perhaps it is their sense of discovery or purpose as young, budding players that make them hit the floor, make the sharp cuts, and dance uncontrollably when their teammate hits that floater to create that improbable upset.  Stories are defined and created in a single game, reputations earned or destroyed with a buzzer beater, and dynasties created through established traditions.

O'Neal left LSU for the NBA after three years. However, he promised his mother he would eventually return to his studies and complete his bachelor's degree. He fulfilled that promise in 2000, earning his degree in business. At his graduation, he told the crowd "now I can go and get a real job". It has yet to be decided if he will actually pursue this career after retiring from basketball.\n\nSubsequently, O'Neal earned an online MBA through the University of Phoenix in 2005. He has stated his intentions to begin work on his doctoral degree in psychology or criminology in 2006.

There's 60 picks in the draft.  About 40 of them will be college players, maybe 20 of them are in the tournament, with the others coming from teams that didn't make it.  The rest will be foriegn players.  A few may try out as unrestricted free agents as well.

only 50 percent of all students graduate. \n6 percent go on to attend college. \nSix out of 10 male students end up jobless, \n80 percent wind up in jail

It wasn't so much a bad draft talent-wise...it's just that the level of talent can't compete with that of years past. We've been lucky in the past few years to see the introduction of future superstars such as Lebron, Carmelo, Bosh, Wade, Dwight Howard, Chris Paul, Amare, etc...to enter the League. Keep in mind that in years past high school stars were allowed to enter the draft...so this year's draft was filled with entries who would have probably stayed in school longer had high schoolers been allowed to enter the draft (this esp. holds true for the big men..we all know Oden is only staying one year at Ohio State, so many college post players sought to "sell themselves" while their stock was still high."\n\nThis year's draft reminds me a lot of the 2000 NBA Draft - certainly less than stellar talent all around and much of it was just one big guessing game. The first 5 picks in that year's draft were: Kenyon Martin, Stromile Swift, Darius Miles, Marcus Fizer, and Mike Miller. Some more obscure/unproductive players that teams picked in the first round of that years draft - Demarr Johnson, Jerome Moiso, Jason Collier, Donnell Harvey, Dalibor Bagaric, Mamadou N'diaye, Erick Barkley, and Mark Madsen. The most productive players (aside from K-mart) to come out of that draft are...Desmond Mason, Q-Rich, Jamaal Magliore, and Michael Redd. 5 Impact players out of 58 players drafted. I would like to hope that this year's draft netted more productive players for their respective teams..yet at the same time I wouldn't be surprised if they just turned out to be a bunch of average NBA players...definitely better than the rookies from the 2000 Draft though.

If I've done the calculations properly, it looks like the average in 1985-86 was 75.6%, as compared to 74.5% last season.\n\nTo get these numbers, I used these two pages:\n\nhttp://www.basketball-reference.com/leagues/NBA_2006.html\n\nhttp://www.basketball-reference.com/leagues/NBA_1986.html\n\nIf you scroll down on each page, there's a list of team stats.  I just used the "NBA Average" numbers to determine free throw percentage.  I also looked at 1976, and the number was again right around 75%.

$$$.\nOn average College graduates make about 150% more than simply High-school graduates. Not to mention you can finally "get" all the jokes on the Simpsons.

I think the percent is about 70% black players. The only position the white players play is kicker, punter, qb, and sometimes even SS. The black players would play everthing else. Name a black punter really. Other than the Miami(FL) puter but still he is an athlete.

Here are some statistics from year 2000 that might help you:\nHigh school graduates, percent of persons age 25+, 76.8% \nBachelor's degree or higher, pct of persons age 25+,  26.6%.\n\nSo three-quarters of the adult population has at least a high school diploma and a quarter of them have gotten at least a bachelor's degree.
