All-American Megan Kleist and Louisiana

[lcitsh]

The PAC 12 hasn't been the toughest in years. OK, SEC, Louisiana, PAC 12. In dat order.

What are your standards to determine toughest? And are you gauging teams/programs or conferences?

There's no question Oklahoma is the top program right now. Florida is right there with them. There is a big gap between 2 and everyone else. Louisiana is certainly one of the top 20 programs, possibly top 15.

As far as conferences are concerned, I understand that people use "what have you done for me lately" as a measure of success, but that measure is still high enough to calculate that there isn't much difference between the two conferences.

Are we still the best non-P5 program in the country or is that too bold?

Yes. James Madison, at the moment, is 2nd. There is no 3rd, and after Megan Good graduates this season, there will no longer be a 2nd.

Can we get a plane tracker on this one? I want to know when she is wheels up from Eugene!

Not necessary. She's already done her visit.

The gap that separates the JMU program with the rest of the G5 field is as large as the gap that separates Louisiana and JMU...IMO.

Not necessary. She's already done her visit.

You sure about this?

I've looked over the paperwork regarding the transfer portal and I am not seeing anything anywhere that REQUIRES the school to release the student-athlete. The school cannot prevent the student-athlete from receiving financial aid from the new school, but I see no indication that an immediate release is a part of this new rule. Can you provide the wording where the release is required?

I am not sure that I am following your question. The point that I was trying to make was that, as per my understanding, that just because a student-athlete registers to transfer a school is not required/obligated to release a player just because they are entered in the database. Schools will still have the right to not grant the one time transfer exemption if they don't want to. Also, if conferences have a policy that does not allow the one time transfer exemption for transfers within the conference, that rule still applies to all undergraduate transfers.

This should clear it up....

"Beginning in October, Division I student-athletes will have the ability to transfer to a different school and receive a scholarship without asking their current school for permission."

1. Rankings (for recruiting purposes) are political and subject to vast subjective interpretation. Some people are suited to have success in college, some aren't.

2. No.

thanks! for all! i agree about the rankings being political!
