This will boost low level D1, D2, D3 and NAIA!!! 3 star and low level 4 stars will have to develop at D2 and lower. Juco will be over populated. Go D2, get film and go Juco then power 4 if that's the route you want to take
Middle school players should focus on development! They have all the time in the world. The more they develop in middle school, the better off they will be older. A lot of the schools/rankings in middle school, are even more irrelevant now
Good question. That might be the level that still takes high school kids. NAIA could benefit a lot from this because they know if certain kids do go juco, they won’t be able to get them. They may become more aggressive on getting high school kids
Talk about it but they don’t hear you!!!!

I agree 100 percent!
So given the change, what path would you recommend for middle school players?

So… how about NAIA?

@ since NAIA isn’t NCAA does that mean someone can do NAIA and not lose any NCAA eligibility?
@ I’m not sure on that. My guess is that it still counts just like a d2 or d3 does since it’s a 4 year but u never know
@ div 2 and div 3 is still under NCAA unlike NAIA which is its own entity like NJCAA
