The NCAA has instituted a temporary Recruiting Dead Period and suspended all NLI signings

The NCAA has received recommendations from the National Association of Basketball Coaches and the Women’s Basketball Coaches Association executive committee to extend the recruiting dead period from May 31 through July 31. The NCAA Division I Council will vote on this later this month, and will likely pass it.

Doesn't this help the big schools and penalize schools like Bradley. If all are still active, I believe there are 7 known offers for next year. I hope Bradley was able to do a lot of scouting early. Game videos are are probably not the best way to analyze a recruit's abilities. The coach would need to have videos of bad games as will as good games.

There are probably some ways this is true. But on the other hand, by not allowing person to person live recruiting, it can also hurt the big name coaches and be an equalizer giving mid-major coaches who are good at evaluation and recruiting some advantage.
 
The NCAA Division I Men’s Basketball Oversight Committee proposed a temporary fall recruiting calendar on Monday-

The NCAA Division I Council decided to defer a vote on the proposed changes to the recruiting calendar and "solicit more input".

In another action, the NCAA Division I Council approved a plan for summer athletics activities for men’s and women’s basketball. -

The NCAA has just ruled that fall sport student-athletes will receive both an additional year of eligibility and an additional year in which to complete it, through a blanket waiver. This is only for fall sports (won't apply to basketball) and applies even if the sports are played this fall, or if they are played next spring, or if they are never played at all this year.

The ruling appears to give seniors who are scheduled to graduate, an extra year if they choose. However, if any senior does take advantage of this waiver and returns, their scholarships will not count toward the maximum allowable scholarships for that sport. This ruling only applies to an extra year for their college eligibility and does not guarantee that the athlete will receive financial aid. It will still be up to each school whether they extend an extra year of scholarship aid. They may choose not to provide scholarship for an additional year even though the athlete has the extra year of eligibility.
 
How it would affect the number of recruits for next year? If current seniors would not be counted against the 13 player limit, could Bradley could afford to carry additional players on next year's roster? If they could graduate this year, some or all of the seniors may not want to come back for an additional year.

That is correct. The way I have seen it described, for at least the one year, those seniors getting an extra year of eligibility may not count toward the scholarship limit, so most schools would have more than 13 scholarship players. That, combined with the one-time free transfer rule that could be adopted, would produce a wild west type of raiding of mid-major rosters by the bigger schools looking to grab players who could help them. It could affect Bradley. :roll:
 
The motion to grant an extra year of eligibility has been passed by the NCAA-

A source said “those who exhausted eligibility will be exempted from counting against 13 scholarship limit."
That would appear to mean that Elijah Childs and Danya Kingsby could return to Bradley for a 5th year next year, even if there are no available scholarships.

Please let that happen!
 
Am I missing something? What about the non-seniors players? Will non-senior players also get an additional year? It may be a good thing that Bradley only has two seniors and the additional number of scholarships would be limited to two and be less expensive.

There is also a possibility that fall signees will not want to go to the school now that seniors will be allowed an additional year? Would they be let out of their NLI? It seems like this may open up more problems for the NCAA to deal with?
 
It would seem the rule applies to all players, not just seniors.
The problem that we should be worried about, and all mid-majors will worry about, is that the seniors will graduate, and effectively become "free agents". There will be a feeding frenzy for the most talented players. The NCAA has opened a can of worms that they cannot control.
