Dobbs is coming back . Something tells me that we’ll be the overwhelming favorite to win the PL football championship (FWIW) as well as the favorites in every single regular season FCS game (just like this year). I would like to see a Dobbs/Sluka level kid show up in the new class. Like those two, we’ll spot him right away.

Has it occurred to anyone that allowing these 5th and 6th year eligibilities are very unfair to the last few high school classes who won’t get to play while these 24 year olds postpone going to work?

It definitely has occurred to many. Life is unfair. Unfortunately circumstance of events for these kids.

There aren't any 6th year players at HC. I think he was saying in general it has hurt many HS seniors for all of the 5th and 6th years players nation wide.

Not sure if you are aware but 5th years due to injury have been a part of College sports not just football for years. Now if your comment is specific to Covid and adding a 6th year of eligibility yes that has had an adverse affect on everyone including those student athletes who lost seasons or saw significantly reduced seasons as a result of Covid. I am curious as to which 24 year old at Holy Cross you are referring to or was your comment a general one?

Do you mean permitting HC kids to use their one Covid year at HC and compete for playing time is unfair to younger schollie kids on the team at HC who are also competing for playing time? It may have raised the level of competition for playing time at certain positions the last two years. So, from that perspective and with the notion that changing circumstances related to Covid may routinely be unfair, yes.

Twenty four is strange enough, but think about the kid who has a fall birthday and didn't start school until he was almost six, graduates from high school, does a PG year somewhere and then goes to college for 6 years. That kid is a few months shy of his twenty sixth birthday before he graduates. Of course, that has been the deal in hockey for a long time. It is just another reason why college sports has become less fun for a lot of fans these days. I don't think that HC will be ruined if 8 or 10 football players per class take 4.5 years to graduate instead of four, but it changes things a little.

Availability of athletic scholarships for high school recruits This seems relevant from this site www.ncsasports.org/coronavirus-sports/ncaa-eligibility-coronavirusWhat about athletic scholarships? Athletes who decide to use their extra year of eligibility due to the COVID-19 pandemic are not guaranteed a full scholarship, or even the ability to compete. One caveat to the NCAA’s ruling on an extra year of eligibility is that individual schools and conferences have the authority to adopt this rule or not. This means that some schools may allow seniors to return for an extra year of eligibility, while others may choose not to offer this due to program budgets, housing availability, etc. Ultimately, it’s the school’s and coach’s decision to decide if they want to extend their scholarship limit to include fifth year seniors or transfers. The determining factor is whether or not a school can afford to give scholarships over the maximum.

In addition to three I know of who have confirmed publicly (Dobbs, Haskins, Molton), it seems most of the remaining 12 maybes will be coming back based on the numbers being discussed for total 5th years next year.
Maybe (12): Jared Kreimer Jordan Forrest Tyler Purdy Hugh Kelly Hunter Burns Adam Guillemette CJ Hanson Pat McMurtrie Dalton Daddona Dom Thomas Sean Morris Patrick Haughney

The extra year that the college players are getting is absolutely hurting the high school kids, in all sports, just not football. Simply put with players getting an extra year of eligibility there are less spots open for the high school kids. Certainly, in terms of number of scholarships available, the NCAA gave the athletes an extra year for Covid, but they did not increase the scholarship limit. I stay in touch with our high school coach. Between the extra year of eligibility and the transfer portal, a lot of college coaches don't know their final numbers until close to signing day (the one in Feb.) .Some Division 1 kids are falling to Division 2, Division 2 kids are falling to Division 3. For Football there will be two more years of this.

Haskins public as coming back in 23’. Confirmed that CJ Hanson and Pat McMurtrie are both coming back in 2023. Glad to hear that both are returning. Pat was injured in the Buffalo game (lower body injury using NHL parlance). Haven’t heard any specifics on his recovery. I hope that he is fully recovered by the start of next season if not by the start of spring practice.

Huge for CJ (who’d likely have FBS offers in the portal) and Pat. Purdy in the 23’ boat as well!
