Then there's this: Cougar-killer Josh Carter of Texas A&M became the 7,238th college player to declare for the 2008 NBA Draft this afternoon. He will not hire an agent.

What an incredible number. I had no idea that many players declared for the draft each year. Does anyone know if the number is that high every year?
From Greg's Blog.
the whole thing is interesting, but the quote is from the end.
8. Who of the following has not declared eligibility for the NBA draft?
(a) Derrick Caracter
(b) JaVale McGee
(c) C.J. Giles
(d) You
(e) None of the above
Answer: At this point d, but sources say you're talking to an agent
I remember several years ago there was some kid from my area that entered the draft and hired an agent without ever playing college hoops. Not a big deal, but consider the guy was in his early 20s and hardly played in high school.
My dog could enter the draft...if I had a dog.
There has to be some database that these scouts use to grab the top 100 based on stats at each position. No way they look at every kid.
