Sorry, you are jealous, but recruited Athletes don’t “take seats” from non- athletes.


+1
College recruited athletes often go through a separate admissions process, and some argue that this can sometimes lead to a perception that they take seats away from other non-recruited students. However, colleges typically have a certain number of spots allocated for athletes, and these spots are separate from the general admissions pool. So, while there might be debate around this topic, recruited athletes usually don't directly take seats from other non-recruited students.

That to me is semantics. It may be separate pool but there are most certainly some Ivy League schools where a relatively large percentage of the class is recruited athletes.


It’s the SLACs where this can be true. The smallest Ivy is what…4500 students? Compare this to some SLACs and small D1 schools (Richmond, Davidson, etc) that are only 1700 yet are recruiting for almost the same number of teams.

Doubt this will ever happen. What is interesting to me is the number of country club college sports that obviously only rich people play.

Yep. A friend’s high school senior just signed to a college and committed as an athletic recruit. It’s wild!

You can’t recruit in HS. So they do 8th grade.

An infant was recruited and signed once. Kid of two superstar athletes

Pretty sure this is not true. New NCAA rules prevent any commitments prior to HS junior year.


I'm referring to this year's seniors (high school class of '24) who, once admitted, are part of the college class of 2028.


Got it…it used to be crazy with in fact 8th graders “committing” to colleges especially in basketball.

I read OP’s post to mean college class of ‘28 which would mean hs seniors who just started were recruited. They are in the high school class of 2024.

I think the poster is talking about high school class of 24, college class of 28.
