Haven't really thought it through for softball, but football players do it all the time. A few female basketball players have done it in recent years:Maybe someone can answer this question for me. I have heard the commentators mention that a few players left high school early to play in college. Is this the new thing? What's the benefit especially if you are not getting a full ride?
Thanks for the feedback. It just seems unusual to me because of the portal but I get it. As for the other route. Going the other way is crazy I always thought that was a bad idea for kids anyway, but who am I.Sam Roe started college at Florida last spring despite being a 2022 HS grad. She finished early so she could start her college career early. Oddly enough, there are a lot of girls going the other way to increase their recruiting chances. A certain pitcher for a VA team just celebrated her 17th birthday despite being in the 2025 class.

It would, but now you have 5th years looking to get a year of Grad school paid for by softball, consuming a spot that should have been filled by an incoming freshman.
Smart kid. Dumb rule.I’ve seen 5th years taking Covid years just to help with grad school tuition and really not putting forth the same effort in the program as undergrads. They’re along for the ride and taking advantage of the additional year’s worth of money.
