I believe he is doing a PG year at Loomis and then off to Michigan in the fall of 2026.

Again, going to Michigan, which has a 15% out-of-state acceptance rate. Win for the kid and the family. But a great get for Loomis as a PG since they're in the top 2-3 in the country.

15% is way low. It's almost 50%. https://www.detroitnews.com/story/news/local/michigan/2023/10/02/um-ann-arbor-enrollment-52000-sets-another-record/71029768007/

It's a joke Michigan would force a family to take a gap year. At least Loomis really only plays other reclass factories.

The math is the fogo is 18. Goes to a reclass factory and is now 19. Plays or doesn't play at Michigan during one of his 4 years after starting at age 20 and finishes his 4-in-5 years at age 25. He could even throw in an extra year if he played a couple of games and hurts his back and gets an injury waiver and finishes at 26. Wholesome college athletics. It's something straight out of Animal House.

Out-of-state acceptance is 15-18% unless the family is moving up to Michigan which I seriously doubt. But really so what if the kid is 23 when he graduates assuming no additional years due to injuries, etc. If the kid and family want to do it and have the means to help the young man realize his dreams, isn't that what parents should aspire to be doing so long as its in tandem with laying a strong foundation for his career. Kinda sounds like sour grapes but maybe that's just a misread on my part.

Finding people willing to commit to the level of play required for D1 is a lot tougher than it might seem given the number of high school players vs the number of D1 slots. It’s a full time, 6-7 days a week job “in addition” to going to class and pursuing an education, much less a full college experience however one defines that. It’s no surprise to me the portal is a go-to option now because you have seasoned, physically developed players with demonstrated all-in commitment to playing a sport vs high schoolers who you have almost no idea how they’ll respond to the obligations and level of play as compared with other options once you get away from the sports bubble and you’re on campus and on your own. And I don’t blame anyone who decides after seeing it up close decides it’s not what they want for their college experience. Rather, I respect the self awareness. I have two who played/are playing college - son at D1 and daughter at D3, both got/get minutes but weren’t/aren’t headliners (outside my own book of course!) As objective as I can be about it (and I confess, not very) my daughter has had a much better overall college experience. The third and fourth will do what they feel but if either or both decide one way or the other or to stop altogether, they’ll at least have those to look at for guidance, and I’ll be totally ok with it. When people say D1 isn’t for everyone, it may sound like a put down to some but it’s quite true and I personally wouldn’t do it today compared with my own time in the 90’s when there was a little more balance and fewer grown ups lining up against you. No regrets to be clear - loved all of it - but I think people need to be clear eyed about commitments like D1.

Out of state acceptance is not 18%. That's the acceptance rate. The number of out of state enrollment is closer to 50%.

Unless the kid graduates early he'll be 24. He's not getting to Michigan until he's at least 19 and will be 20 during the 1st season.

Are you really gonna live and die on the hill of 23 vs. 24? Grow up. They are still a kid.

Are you really going to ignore the best fogo in the entire region shouldn't be forced by a school to pay an extra year's of tuition and be a 20 year old high schooler because they already recruited a fogo? You are trying to fudge the numbers downward and disallow other players a shot at going to their own dream school bc of colleges forcing a red shirt year on a family.

No one is forcing the kid to do it. It was an option afforded to him and he and his family can decide what to do with it.

Of course Michigan is forcing him. They literally said he couldn’t attend if he didn’t reclass.

The Bullis 25 Fogo is just as talented and headed to Princeton without a PG year. We have some good ones in the DMV.

Forcing? He doesn't have to go to Michigan if he doesn't want to.

Yeah, I guess if your definition means holding a gun to his head but forced compliance is certainly what is going on when a university demands an applicant to take these types of measures.

Just an absurd take. You can’t argue with stupid.

Wow. A wikipedia link to a psych theory on the thread, and we are only on page 9. Recruiting process is tough. Doesn't remove free will.
