But I think most of us would like to see level 1 commits. It's an indication of the strength of your staff and school/program's value proposition and, with limited vision into the future, it's one of the better indicators of probable success with no guarantees.

Oh absolutely. you want to win high-quality recruiting battles. I’m just saying we shouldn’t dismiss kids in the tier 2 or tier 3 bucket as several will be level 1 players by the end of fall camp.

I believe at the FCS level this will become more difficult with the covid kids graduating.. I believe there will be a bigger focus on H.S. kids once again reducing high end recruits falling into the FCS..

I’m not so sure on this. Over 1,000 kids enter the portal. That trend won’t stop. Have to continue winning battles against CAA, MAC, FAU, FIU types.

You are both probably right to an extent. With Covid rolling off, there will be fewer transfers with that extra year of eligibility. Look at how many Ivy and PL grad transfers have gone to FBS last few years (only cause of Covid eligibility). Now those spots have a higher likelihood to be filled with HS kids.
But, the portal will still enable the cream to rise to the top…G5 transferring up to P4, other FCS with non medical Red shirts transferring up to FBS….which will still eat into HS spots and some FBS type talented kids will fall to FCS out of HS.

I don't love talking about a kid's money on the board as other families might look at this and say wait a second.

I do have a scholarship question but not one related to any individual player. When players on partial scholarship turn out to be stars, do we often elevate them to full scholarships or is that a rare occurrence?

It does happen. I wouldn’t say it’s often, but I wouldn’t call it rare either.

Always thanking you, Harry, Breezy, 44, The Doctor for keeping us informed. With a very good December tranche and if we pull off the last weekend/this weekend plan it will be a very good recruiting season.

When players on partial scholarship turn out to be stars, do we often elevate them to full scholarships or is that a rare occurrence? I recall a video that HC FB posted a number of years ago with FHCTG running a meeting, and at the end, "criticized" a couple guys for their poor penmanship on the meeting sign-in sheet. Immediately thereafter, however, he called those players to the front of the room to sign their scholarship papers. The room erupted with cheers, etc. for the newly scholarshipped (a word??) players.
