College Recruiting Classes

Posted by Fluffington McGiggles on October 7, 2024, 7:30 am

So... does anyone wonder if some of these schools have started making offers in anticipation of the proposed new limits (from max 12 scholarships to max 25 roster)?

Univ of Mississippi right now has 9 commitments from the class of 2026... if the proposal doesn't go through, how are those 12 scholarships getting shared amongst 9 girls across the rest of the roster? (Even if the proposal does go through, it would seem tough to make a 9 player class work.)

I just wonder if some of these verbal commitments are worth the wind they are printed on...

Your assuming ever offer includes a full ride. That is not normally the case.

No, I wasn't assuming that.

If the House settlement goes through (the judge just today ruled in favor of the proposed settlement), rosters will be limited to 25 players.

To have one recruiting class with 10 players already verbally committed seems "odd" - especially with the portal.

It's of course possible that a coach knows that they'll have a lot of turnover in upper classes, but P4 are frequently using the portal to fill roster needs.

If you have one recruiting class with 10 commits, you don't have much room to use the portal, and you really reduce the number you can take in subsequent years (e.g., 10+5+5+5 = 25).

Old Jamie chews through players every year. If you look at the number of young ladies going in the portal each year it is mindblowing. That program probably leads the NCAA in the number of women transferring out of that program since she arrived.
