[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Once the 2020 5 year kids roll out things will get back to normal.  The covid 5th year inflated the transfer portal and messed with the rosters for incoming freshman.  It will get back to normal soon.  A 28 roster is a huge roster[/quote]

No. You have 5 years to use your 4 years of eligibility from the day you enroll at a college.

Still plenty of 5th year/grads that didn't play Freshmen year.  And a ton of portal kids.

Gap years and coming in older are a big deal at top academic schools. My kid could have played at his Ivy if he did the gap year--but we didn't want him sitting around a year.[/quote]

Today, there's 4 in 5 for eligibility, but the NCAA is considering ditching medical redshirts and others and implementing a 5 in 5 rule which will further compound the recruiting problem. Play up to 5 seasons in 5 years.  Yeah, more athletes sticking around to roster capped teams.  Just google "NCAA 5 in 5" and there are numerous articles.

Life was just so much easier when boosters were just handing our brown paper bags of cash to the footballers and hoopers and life went on for the other sports.    Ugh.  Not an easier time to be a soccer recruit.  [/quote]
