Some '21's may want to consider delaying the start of their college eligibility clock by taking a gap year to train and improve their skills while taking a couple of college courses as a part-time student.
My son is older and done playing anymore. But when he was injured in high school we looked into taking a couple of classes at a JuCo, continuing rehab and starting college the following year.
Rick could clarify and comment on this. At the time even though three courses at a JuCo wasn’t considered a full time student it started the five year clock. You can’t take more than two courses per semester.
