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.

Nope. Because it’s all about money. Ask for transparency. How many D1 commits from Club? How many players start at RL and move up? How many players from RL commit to play in college?

Tons, my kids being one of them.

This isn't an ECNL/GA/MLSnext or bust situation.

"Tons" might be a bit of an overstatement.

What’s the source for this rumor you’re floating?

This will make it even worse for the girls looking to be recruited.

They’ll have to play at lower program and use the transfer portal. Like the men.

There will be less players recruited out of HS if there are 5 years of eligibility.

They won't be getting scholarships. The rule is that schools are allowed to offer up to the limit. The only way that happens is if schools choose to use soccer to balance football for title IX.

Well, I think that answers the question about why Penn State recruits were decomitted.

The reasons for them being decommitted had nothing to do with scholarships, and everything to do with roster caps.
