Something is off here, because I’m positive that kids who were in high school in 2008 are for sure still in college. 

With the Pavia ruling, that’s not far away from being a reality. Any eligibility restrictions are suspect.

Bobby & Gerry have said many times on various OTF podcasts/YouTube live shows that they think that the NCAA will move to 5 years total from when you leave high school. 

No redshirts, JuCo counts as college, 5 years max and you’re done whether there are injuries or not. 

Sounds fine. Some will be gone in 3, some in 4, some in 5.
¡Ya está!

That’s like slapping a bandaid on a crack in a dam. The NCAA can’t unilaterally restrict the earning power of individuals to any arbitrary period of time.

Without an antitrust exemption from Congress and a collective bargaining agreement with a group of athletes, that 5-year eligibility period, like every other eligibility criteria, is likely to fall in any court challenge.  We’ve crossed the threshold away from amateurism and there’s no going back.  

Any NCAA eligibility rule change and announcement is a tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing.

It’s going to get a lot worse before it gets better. Completely unregulated college sports is about to be upon us for a while.  Only Congress can save the day. How great is that?

First off the bus: Kiotti Armstrong, 2025 Top247 4-star TE, Texas A&M signee
Jasper (Texas) standout Kiotti Armstrong has long been our radar as a monstrous tight end prospect who could play along the defensive front or easily grow into an offensive tackle. That said, the Texas A&M signee's functional athleticism and layered athletic background, which includes baseball and basketball, support just how effective he is with the ball in his hands. Armstrong measured 6-foot-5 and nearly 270 pounds with enormous features: 10 1/2-inch hand, almost 36-inch arm, and a 6-foot-11+ wingspan. Coincidentally, the "first off the bus" selection was the second through the door of more than 80 players at Monday's check-in.

Lamont Rogers, 2025 Top247 5-star OT, Texas A&M signee
Five-stars typically look the part when they walk through the door, and that was exactly the case when Mesquite (Texas) Horn behemoth Lamont Rogers showed up to Monday's check-in. A five-star offensive tackle, Rogers, who also has played basketball and soccer, measured just shy of 6-foot-6 and almost 330 pounds. With 10 3/8-inch hands, the Texas A&M signee also posted a 35+ arm and a legitimately 7-foot wingspan.

Chace Sims, 2025 Top247 4-star DL, Texas A&M signee
Texas A&M signee Chace Sims assembled an outstanding senior year for Texas Class 5A Division II state champion Richmond Randle out of the Houston metro area. Sims, who registered 28.5 TFL and 11 sacks as a senior, measured north of 6-foot-3 and almost 280 pounds with an enormous arm number (35 inches) and nearly 6-foot-10 wingspan.

-- Texas A&M sent the highest number of signees/commits to the Navy All-American Game and they impressed in the check-in line. Pushing 6-foot-5 and almost 250 pounds, West Coast edge defender Marco Jones represented one of those impressive Aggies. Jones boasted large hands (10+) and the requisite LOS length.
