MD,VA,DC have a decent amount of top talent. IF MD could keep them home they be a force.

In the 24 and 25 classes they had 29 players in the top 247. I highly doubt they would get all of them but a high portion of them and MD is a different team.

UNC and UMD are in the same boat. Located in talent rich areas, large alumni base, good academic, student body that cares ab basketball and would be into football if they were good. ACC could really use them to take a step up. Locksley isn’t it.

I know what you mean, but there are talent hotspots near almost every Power 4 Program. And even in the area we’re talking about, there are nearby programs like Virginia, VaTech, WV, and UNC that could take advantage of that talent pool if they built a strong program. And they’d still have to compete with Penn State. But it’s kind of a chicken/egg problem- it’s hard to recruit well without winning and it’s harder to win big if you can’t recruit well

High end CFB recruiting is absolutely pointless until the NCAA/some entity is allowed to do something

Clearinghouse with standardized reporting guidelines to protect the athlete and school. Independent 3rd party verification of terms being valid. For any deal agreed to outside of this, immediate disqualification of the player for that season and the school’s revenue share pool is reduced by $1M per years of service so penalty for a senior is $4M. This way the current and future team isn’t penalized with a bowl ban that impacts unrelated players.

game changer for JUCO guys now.
So basically they can play JUCO for 2 years and then 4 years of NCAA ball.
Was thinking with NIL and easy transfers that the JUCO's would kind of die off as an entity but this brings them a lot of new life and purpose

Does this mean Stetson Bennett is eligible to play in the Sugar Bowl as a 7th year, non-grad, JUCO, NFL practice squad transfer?

I feel like the next step is someone coming back to college. MLB signed players already can.

lol the kid deleted it because is it was so ridiculous.

Basically a 2026 kid tweeted: “Sorry for the confusion. I am still 100% committed to Florida State. With that being said my recruitment is still open.”

Didn't know where to post this, but I had this thought earlier today.

If the new JUCO ruling stays as the new rule and years in JUCO don't count towards NCAA eligibility, do you think ND could actually take some guys from JUCOs? The obvious answer is no because we never really have, but that was when the players credits would have had to transfer just to keep him eligible and they likely wouldn't have transferred. If the NCAA can't count JUCO years towards eligibility, they probably also can't count those years in progress toward degree requirements. That means ND could essentially not take any credits and essentially pretend even a two year JUCO player is a true freshman.

Now, obviously a lot of JUCO guys are there because they don't have the grades, so they likely wouldn't make it at ND anyway. But there are some who probably could make it but are at JUCOs for football development reasons. And this is likely to be the case even more often if the JUCO ruling stays in place.

The reason this thought came to me was because I read a joke about how many years players could play college football with all the exceptions and waivers, but it hit me that it might actually be a good way for us to help solve our problem with DT recruiting. It could be nice to have rotation guys that are essentially 7th year players by the time they exhaust their eligibility. That is two extra years in college strength programs and two extra years of physical maturity. Maybe the pool of guys we could get would never be as good as Cross or Mills, but with the extra long playoff seasons, it would be pretty nice to have that extra playable depth.

I wonder about the "bad grades" thing as an automatic characteristic of a JUCO player. In two of my brothers eras, there was a high level of "military school" football scattered across mainly Virginia which served as feeder pipelines for east coast universities. If colleges had some doubts about a high school athlete (often physical size or maturity) they "encouraged" an extra post-high school year at one of these. They took basketballers too. I can at least imagine a case where a marginal athlete with a high upside went into a "transition" situation and not only improved but exploded. That sort of guy need not be stupid or a loafer.

Whether ND would spend time scouting such a league, who knows? Big programs won't spend scholarships on hearsay.
