The coaches keep reminding all the players that recruiting happens a lot later for JUCO guys now so they are not farming the guys out much at this stage. Things tend to heat up on the JUCO recruiting landscape much later now because of the portal.
It’s my understanding that the portal is for NCAA DI, II, IIl players at 4-year institutions not JUCO players and definitely not CCCAA players.
We are aiming at the lower-level D1 schools, basically, schools ranked around 50 and below. The top schools understandably have a preference for top national players from the portal and 4 + 5 star HS players; lower ranked schools may allow a little more flexibility? We have dropped Maryland from our list and Cincinnati is a reach school re football but so good re acting we decided to go for it.
