May cost class of '26 their offers but will squeeze playing time. With roster caps, many already in the portal plus new '26ers currently without landing spot will be stuck or drop to D2/D3unless NCAA lifts roster caps like during COVID. #NCAA #TransferPortal #RecruitUTips

In response to the NCAA's new 5-in-5 age-based eligibility rule, an Ohio judge granted a preliminary injunction letting 24 D1 athletes get a 5th year + transfer outside the portal window. Trial pending. NCAA will fight to reverse it. Sets stage for more suits.

NCAA approved 5-in-5 eligibility rule but dropped one-time transfer limit from it - the fix that would have opened more roster spots for high school athletes. Portal problem? Yep. Breakdown 👇 https://t.co/J3L07e8aKL

A post-grad prep school year is an alternative path to being recruited and can be a game-changer for the right athlete across all sports.
I broke it down with @PREP_Athletics - and who it's right for.

SEC and Big Ten opposing the Protect College Sports Act is greed personified. But watch what happens to Rutgers, Maryland, Arkansas, MS State. You don't protect college sports by richest strip-mining it. Their avarice will implode themselves as well.

SEC and Big Ten opposing Protect College Sports Act is greed personified. Their own members - Rutgers, Maryland, Arkansas, MS State - are hemorrhaging money. SEC/B10 avarice won't just implode their own teams, it will eliminate sports opportunities for thousands of athletes.

[RecruitU @RecruitUapp1]

If your athlete plays in high school especially a non-revenue sport and seeking to be recruited - this fight is directly about them. Understand the landscape. Make decisions based on where college sports is going, not where it's been. Free consult: https://t.co/cWMXkoehW6

[RecruitU @RecruitUapp1]

Here's what it means for your athlete: Wrestling. Swimming. Track. Rowing. Non-revenue sports and the athletes in them are the first casualty. Roster spots that exist may not when your athlete is ready to compete. Leagues deciding this aren't thinking about your kid. We are.

[RecruitU @RecruitUapp1]

And it doesn't stop inside SEC and Big Ten. Mid-majors, ACC, Big 12 - programs outside power 4 are being forced to cut sports and reduce rosters just to keep pace with an arms race they never asked for and cannot afford. SEC and Big Ten are setting fire to the neighborhood.

[RecruitU @RecruitUapp1]

Most believe a PG year doesn't cost an athlete college eligibility. Under the current rules that's largely true. Under the NCAA's proposed 5-in-5 rule - that changes. I broke l broke down this key recruiting misconception in the @PrepAthletics podcast. https://t.co/0cVWj9RFye

[RecruitU @RecruitUapp1]

The NCAA's 5-in-5 rule is coming.
Most athletes and families don't understand what it means.
I broke it all down on the @PrepAthletics podcast — the real impact on PG years, reclassing, transfers and eligibility. Must-listen for recruiting decisions.

[RecruitU @RecruitUapp1]

SEC & Big Ten breakaway threat is leverage - not inevitability.
Already their own schools are insolvent. And nobody's answered where hundreds of non-revenue sport athletes compete if they walk.
Charlie Baker must hold the line.

Bottom line:

Opportunities for high school athletes may grow—but timing, decisions, and strategy now matter more than ever.

Most aren’t seeing the full picture yet.

[RecruitU @RecruitUapp1]

Proposed NCAA rule changes may increase recruiting opportunities for high school athletes but come with consequences:
• Limitations on college transfers • Reclassing and prep school now carry risk • Opportunities may take time to materialize
👉 https://t.co/ic2mLhhrdw

[RecruitU @RecruitUapp1]

Add in:
• Transfer limitations
• Reduced medical redshirt flexibility
• NIL contracts that can favor schools
And the risk increases:
Athletes could lose eligibility, income, and mobility—especially if injured or pushed out.

[RecruitU @RecruitUapp1]

The biggest change:

Eligibility clock starts at high school graduation or age 19 (whichever comes first).

That means:
• Reclassing
• Prep school
• Sports academies
…could now cost athletes part of their college career before they even enroll.

[RecruitU @RecruitUapp1]

Why opportunities may increase:

• Limits on older international players
• Reduced reliance on transfers
• More structured roster management
Long term, this shifts recruiting back toward high school athletes.
But that’s only part of the story.

[RecruitU @RecruitUapp1]

Proposed rule changes from the NCAA could increase recruiting opportunities for high school athletes.

But the full impact—and risks—aren’t being fully discussed.

Here’s what athletes, parents, and coaches need to understand 👇

[RecruitU @RecruitUapp1]

New executive order on college sports from Trump.

Sounds like reform.

But without athlete representation, it likely means:
More spending.
More lawsuits.
More risk for athletes.
Same broken system—just bigger.
