Transfers - More than most think

[El Paso Eagle]

From ESPN on the number of TOP 300 recruits that transfer

And it furthers proves that just because you get a P5 offer, doesn’t mean you should go there and skip over a great opportunity at a G5!

So many NT decommits do the same, and almost none do anything! Wasted opportunities

[Wag Tag]

OK? Wow, if you are not   On the 2 deep as a redshirt Soph, I would think you need to go?

Are coached allowed to keep contacting recruits up to the time they sign their letters? Seems to me to show a good reason to keeping in communications with players even if you are not going to be their first choice. Based on the way the sport is headed transfers will be a larger and larger part of the puzzles. I would like to see the G5 schools push for the no sit out rules the same as it applies to FCS schools. It would keep a lot of good players in FBS, but then that is probably why the P5 schools would never allow it to happen.

Are you kidding?    Those rules help G5s more than P5s right now.   

Can you imagine the down-low recruiting NT's best players would get from P5 schools if they didn't have to sit out?    Heck, we saw it last year in basketball when Mo got plucked by OU... and he even had to sit out a year.

It’s not completely official but it sounds like the NCAA will have a rule passed by January or February allowing for players to not need to sit out a year the first time they transfer between D1 schools. It’s not official because the rule hasn’t been passed but I think coaches will operate under the presumption that it will be passed, given how much of a certainty it sounds like it is.

I was saying that if a P5 transferred to a G5 they should not have to sit out, not G5 to P5.

When a player enters the Transfer Portal can he be contacted by other schools?

As cool as that would be, there’s no way the NCAA would pass a rule that helps G5’s & hurts P5s.

Gotta remember who butters the bread.

We can dream

As far as I know, there is no real categories of G5 or P5 in the NCAA.

So there cannot be any rules that designate between them.

P5 is just a term for the conferences automatically considered for the NCAA football national playoff.
