[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I wonder how 5 in 5 may impact international recruiting for boys. Everyone's been focused on how it will impact US based reclassing for basketball, lacrosse, and football, but I think it will impact D1 schools recruiting semi pro 22 year olds from Europe.[/quote]

Same here - do the college coaches view the internationals as desirable if they can only play a year or two? Is college as desirable a path for those players if they can't stay long enough to get a degree?

Am very curious how that and the limited free transfers impact HS recruiting, though I guess the proposed changes have to pass first.[/quote]
DP. I think this is the latest on the 5-in-5: https://www.espn.com/college-sports/story/_/id/48978440/ncaa-panel-tweaks-di-eligibility-proposal-vote-late-june  It would start the 5 year eligibility clock from the earlier of an athlete’s 19th birthday or their full-time college enrollment.

The D1 coaches my DS spoke to during the recruiting process this year said they expect the new rule to pass. It will presumably dampen coaches’ interest in the over-age foreign players. But it’s not good for the next few HS recruiting classes, as players currently playing in college may decide to take advantage of their fifth year of eligibility, like many did during the temporary eligibility extensions during COVID. D1 coaches right now don’t know how many open spots they will have for kids currently in HS.[/quote]
