[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Great post on the recruiting statistics this year, compared to past years, on the WLax Recruiting Numbers page on Facebook.  The Admin there works hard to put out the stats, so I will respect their direction and not repost the full chart here.

A couple of interesting observations from the first 4 months of the recruiting season.  Despite dire predictions, the total number of D1 commits for the September through December time period is on par with prior years:

24s: 982 position player; 81 goalies
25s: 1,080 position players; 89 goalies
26s: 986 position players; 88 goalies

Notably, as many has observed on this page, a larger percentage of recruits committed in September than in prior years, 594 for the 26s, up from 498 for the 25s, and 327 for the 24s.

Last, and maybe most relevant for those still in the process, a meaningful number of the eventual total commits happened in the year following the initial 4 months (position players only): for '24, 195 in January through August (115 in Jan and Feb combined), and then 128 after 9/1; and, for '25, 175 in January through August (most in January and February, but then a consistent 15-20 a month) and 57 after 9/1 (over a year into the recruiting period).  So, depending on position, the past years suggest that 15-30% of total recruiting is left in this cycle, even though September and October were front loaded this year. [/quote]Thanks.  Plenty of folks it seems without accurate information have been passing that along about roster caps. Not likely to have much effect.

However, possible we could be hearing in the next couple weeks whether the NCAA is serious about their supposed consideration of granting 5 years of playing eligibility to every athlete.  THAT would have a major effect on available spots.  Not everyone will use, of course.  But we're talking a double digit 10%+ decline at a minimum.  [/quote]
