From IMYOUTHSOCCER

We have been getting asked a lot from uncommitted 2025s where there is still an opportunity at the D1 level. There is more nuance based on individual programs but here is where we believe each conference sits on average and how many spots are left. We will share any conferences in more detail if you comment below, so you can see the specific programs that have lower numbers in their 2025 class.

A few notes to add to the data below

- We have changed our model from 7 players to 6.5 due to the potential impact of the roster limits and programs saving spots and dollars for the fall transfer portal which will have more hgh- quality players than in previous years.

- Some Ivy programs ask players to wait on announcements until they are further through the process so likely less than 5 spots left.

- The Sunbelt has less opportunity than shown as it appears Marshall will follow the Marshall MSOC strategy and recruit mostly international players so probably 7 fewer spots for 🇺🇸 based players.

- West Coast-based conferences likely have less opportunity as players are not as active on social media or sharing verbal commitment posts so most likely undercounted.

- In some conferences, it is a few teams that have small 2025 recruiting classes which make up a majority of the open positions while others have moved on to 2026s.

It is important to note that we are probably missing 5% of verbal commitments so there are about 100 fewer spots than shown below.

Question

What’s the rule with students that graduate and play a fifth year somewhere else?
I’m wondering if the fifth year is only allowed at another school.
