Wheeler is a 6'7" PF with no composite ranking on 247, a 2 star on Verbal Commits, offers from Seton Hall, Providence, and St. John's at the moment. Evidently, he has decided to stop playing learning and start getting paid. I can understand where we have seen some guys wanting to skip college ball and go overseas to start making a paycheck....but to do so before you even get your high school diploma seems ludicrous to me.

If guys in this category start jumping over seas to get paid, even before they finish high school, how long before it starts to become a more popular trend for the big guys, top recruits, to go sign a couple year deal in Europe, then head back over for the NBA? Think it will get to the point where it has a noticeable effect on NCAA 'hoops quality?
