Hey all,
Has anyone helped guide their student athlete through a transfer? Can you share any recommendations or advice? I am studying the ncaa portal. I just read that ncaa may vote this month to waive the rule about sitting out a year of competition. I know my request is vague, but I don't have a ton of details to share right now.
Thanks!

Google Rick at informed athlete and schedule a consultation. He does that sort of thing for a living and knows the rules and tricks better than you or I.
If your son has played and has proven innings or at bats, he may get attention through the portal. If he has not, he needs to attend JUCO to play and improve or attend D2,D3. You don't get better by sitting out a year. I am assuming that you are referring transfer D1 to D1.
If they do give a one time transfer exception, coaches will go after the guys that have played and not sat on the bench.
Just my opinion, but there are going to be so many wanting to transfer, it will be a dog fight.
I agree about contacting Rick, you need to know about transfer credits, etc.
Good luck.

Great advice TPM, especially the bolded sentences. Always, put yourself in the college coaches shoes. Would you be going after the guys that played or the guys that sat the bench? Plus, Covid-19 has exacerbated the transfer process. If the NCAA opens up the transfer rule, it is going to look like the US southern border.

Did you use informed athlete for help with recruiting? Do you recommend them?
No I didn’t
