[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Seven per year plus or minus one is solid frankly. Dumb teams like UNC take tons of girls knowing full well they won't play and they can leave in the portal. Girls are too blind to realize this and think playing for a tier 1 school is better... then they get their first life lesson that it's defiantly not[/quote]

NCAA is considering giving all D1 athletes 5 years of eligibility.[/quote]

Just saw that.

Even more bad news for high school players.

My kid's college team currently has 5 5 years and 6 Seniors.  They only took 2 Freshmen (who ride the bench).

The men's players are getting older and older and more and more are using the transfer portal for new players--not rising Freshmen.

This just will make it even tougher for recruitment.  STUDY HARD FELLAS.  Soccer isn't your ticket.[/quote]

I will never understand the motivation of students constantly using the transfer portal for sports with next to no NIL, limited scholarships, and no real chance of going pro. What is the point in attending 4 colleges over 6 years and hoping that credits transfer in a way to enable you to graduate? The portal makes sense for football and mens BB where players are offered hundreds of thousands and millions in a couple of cases to transfer, but what is the point in soccer?  [/quote]

Yep. My son is very high academic.  We told him we aren't letting him chase soccer.  He is playing semi-pro as a Freshmen and plans to go to graduate school.  If he gets on the team later on--he can extend his eligibility.  But, we aren't going to attend a T10, T15 school focused on transferring just to play soccer elsewhere.  Going to experience everything school has to offer and get involved.  Not to mention, kids get injured. Sometimes team chemistry or coaching is not a fit, etc.  Go for the education and let other things fall where they may.[/quote]

This is actually a great idea. Most male Freshmen we know don't see a minute of game time...and they miss so much school at these D1 universities.  If a kid can stay at top level and keep playing games--they benefit from joining older.[/quote]
