I haven't been following football recruiting so I'm in the dark on the timeline for this. Does mid-year mean summer 2025 to play in the upcoming 2025 season? If that's the plan it doesn't seem feasible for a couple reasons. Main reason why would these recruits wait until the last minute to see if they will be admitted rather than accept an offer at some other school they know will be honored without jumping through admissions hoops.

It could mean that some of these transfers are undecided. It could also mean they are not yet "admitted". Some of them could also be grad transfers. A bit of uncertainty remains. If Stanford admits 11 undergraduate transfers for football alone I will be very surprised. The number of transfers this year may be more than 25. It could be double that. Still, athletes being 22% of the transfer class would be "high". Not crazy high, but atypical. One also has to consider transfers in other sports.(12-04-2024, 02:04 PM)chrisk Wrote: Taylor said they are working with 11 transfers to recruit and get them admitted mid-year.
I hate that this is just a part of doing business in college football today. I support players' right to transfer, just as I do any student. But there is a real problem when Stanford might take 25 transfers through regular pathways, and half that number just for football. like, are we pretending that this is anything other than "free agency" any more?

back in the day (when I transferred in) my class (class of '82, I transferred in fall of 1979) ended up with ~200 transfers in total so a little over 10% of total '82 undergraduates (~1800), most appeared to arrive between winter quarter of their frosh year (so yes one quarter elsewhere (so I'm guessing a "late" acceptance as a transfer) through the beginning of junior year). I don't know what the transfer out rate was then.

The transfer numbers bounce around a lot, depending on a host of factors. But I do wonder if the recent numbers are inflated due to trends in the number of transfer athletes admitted (football, of course, but women's basketball had two, and I am sure others did too).
Regardless, since athletes make up 12% of the student body, you would expect that proportionally you'd wind up with around 7/62 transfers being athletes.
