A recent court ruling extending Vanderbilt quarterback Diego Pavia's eligibility has sparked debate about the future of high school recruiting in the face of the transfer portal's impact.
FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. — If the transfer portal hadn't killed high school recruiting yet, Wednesday's ruling to extend Vanderbilt quarterback Diego Pavia eligibility could do just that. The ruling comes from the latest in a string of legal battles over eligibility, including cases from starters Keyshawn Blackstock, longsnapper Ashton Ngo and cornerback Marquise Robinson. Whether this change is implemented for all or not, this could change college athletics forever.
\Thursday afternoon, a prominent college athletics voice, joined McAfee's show to discuss the current state of college athletics. He specifically talked about the grand scheme of high school recruiting being heavily impacted with the ebbs and flows of portal recruiting and junior college players not having their time spent in JUCO count against FBS, FCS or Division III eligibility. 'You're going to create a freight train collision with all the high school kids who would have no place to go,' Baker said during his appearance on McAfee's show. 'It's not like we're certainly going to grow a whole bunch of new teams, we'll grow some new teams in new sports but be on the margin. But if you suddenly take that four years, and you turn it into six, for some huge percentage of the kids who are there, there's really no place for them coming out of high school.' Vanderbilt quarterback Diego Pavia's motion for a preliminary injunction that would allow him to play in 2025 has been GRANTED. The can of worms in regard to eligibility issues was opened in 2020 due to COVID, rewarding every player who opted to play not have it count against them. That rewarded many players around the country a sixth year to become 'Super Seniors' which obviously created parity the sport had never seen before. Last year's court ruling allowed all athletes the ability to transfer as often as they would like without having to sit out a year. Transfers not being penalized, school's looking for production over potential and the new 'Pavia Rule' has changed college sports, especially football, forever
