How Many Playing College Ball for Your Team?
- Thread starter crusader_of_90
- Start date
Which rosters? If they all went to the same school it would be 50%ish. If they all had one class go to the same school it would be about 10%. Or are you talking about percentage of roster at ESL per class that moves on?
If we are talking about per class graduating, based on 50 seniors per year, it’s about 20%
So the current kids in college are between 2018 and now. The results of those teams are
2018 Qtr Finals
2019 State Championship
2020 Covid
2021 State Championship runner up
2022 State Championship
May I ask, how many more titles should they have with all that talent?
This would be almost impossible to do, but I would love to see a breakdown of:
- Amount of players who announce commitment/have a signing day for any level.
- Amount of players who are actually on the team for game 1 of their Frosh year.
- Amount of players who play for four years.
- Amount of players who announce commitment/have a signing day for any level.
- Amount of players who are actually on the team for game 1 of their Frosh year.
- Amount of players who play for four years.
I think people would be stunned how many fall off from announcement to the first game. Then you get another high percentage who are done after a semester.
MC players playing in College still, that I know of from the class of 2019 on....some of the 2019 class may have used up their time but I’ll put them down in case they used their Covid year. Again players I KNOW of, if anyone is forgotten, feel free to add

They’ve had several others that played a couple years and stopped, above list are the ones that are active and I’m sure I’m missing a few. Probably 15 will be playing from last year’s Championship team

From CG’s 2021 state champion team, 3 D3, 1 FCS and 1 D1 walk on. I stand corrected.

There's no more social media love once you commit until you do the hard part and make it on to the field. Which is typically a lot harder than making it into the lineup of your high school.

I don't think it's even that amazing.
You have 18 year olds trying to get used to being away from home/parents, dealing with college classes/schedules, and all the distractions around them. Combined with the load of being in a college football program, and going from being the star of their high school, to being way down on the depth chart. It's a lot for anyone to deal with.
Reality sets in for these players really quick. If your still playing smaller school college ball, or let’s be honest D2 and below, your doing it because you love it. As stated above it’s a lot of work, especially being on your own. Lot of these players suffer an injury and they ask themselves if the pain and punishment to their bodies is worth it anymore. I would say 40% of the players that commit to programs below D1 don’t play all 4 years. And that’s low balling it too.

I understand all that. I have a kid doing it right now, but I'm talking about kids that never even made it into a classroom, let alone doing the classwork.
You ain't lying. I remember my son's coach telling us that our kids would be calling us in tears begging to come home and the worst thing we could do is let them.
Amount of players gaining an undergrad degree in 4-6 years from the school at which they started or ANYWHERE?
