@anotherparent posted:To be honest, when we went to WWBA, we bought the koolaid that it was about playing against the best, we really didn't know how much it might matter for recruiting (which, in the end, it didn't for D3). I still don't think that was entirely wrong.
My question is, where are all the future D1 transfers supposed to go out of HS? Do they go to jucos, or to lower-level D1s, and then hope to transfer up? And, where are all the juco and lower-level D1 coaches recruiting? Just locally?
And this thread was about juco coaches going to D1s. But, if you are looking for development, how do you find good coaches at jucos or lower-level schools, if those coaches are moving up?
And, what happens when the NCAA realizes what a disaster the open transfer thing is, and reverses?
The whole system seems to be entirely unstable, and it's hard to see when or how stability will come.
Coaching Changes (NCAA, NAIA, NJCAA, CCCAA, NWC, NCCAA, USCAA)
in 2017 - 112
in 2018 - 101
in 2019 - 152
in 2020 - 211
in 2021 - 97
In 2022 - 204
In 2023 -68 to date
If I have time will break down by division.
From a research perspective, similar to your search for 4 yr schools, with the additional step of looking at their pipeline
JUCO Research example: Cowley
Where they recruit from (quickly search a couple of years to understand their patterns)
Pipeline by Position
If you want to find good coaches at juco level, then you need to look at the JUCO pipeline over the last 3 to 4 yrs.
There are patterns
