Is this applying to baseball as well? There has always been a ton of JC baseball movement. Will this change baseball recruiting, especially the recruitment of Freshmen?
It should based on the article's use of athletes. We've come a long way from the NCAA dinging Tommy Giles' last year of eligibility over a year of flight school.

It's probably not as impactful as it would have been a few years ago with the portal diminishing JUCO's importance, but might be a nice option knowing you wouldn't lose eligibility assuming the change becomes permanent.

Yes, this will 100% change the ways HS kids are recruited, Mid majors and lower levels will likely not recruit HS kids anymore imo. I think it will benefit us for sure since the some of the best Juco's are in the state of Florida

It’s unclear whether it will rollover to baseball, but if it does I see a complete reshape of the recruiting landscape. For example, I could see many “elite high schoolers” opting to graduate early and enroll juco since it won’t affect eligibility
