I Cabinet approved it today. 3 pre-enrollment rule changes. Effective 2026-27. 1. Athletes can now sign with agents for all purposes, not just NIL. Pre-enrollment and on-campus. 2. Prospects who opt into and stay in an opt-in pro draft (NBA, NFL) lose NCAA eligibility. Baseball and men's ice hockey are not affected because those drafts do not require opt-in. 3. Athletes can accept prize money in their sport without eligibility hits. Agent selection just became one of the most important decisions a high school athlete will make. Certification, fee structure, conflicts, and scope of representation all matter. Expect antitrust attention on the draft restriction.

Without saying Nikola Jokic, Carmelo Anthony, Alex English or David Thompson, name a Nugget…



So who are you taking as a coach and WHY! You have 2 athletes with the “same” accolades, same comp, same eye candy etc they are very similar Kid A 40 time is 4.41- lacks IQ, good footwork, just makes plays some how because of the system they have him in on the HS level, not good on the board with you on a visit. Kid B 40 time is 4.56- great football IQ, puts guys in right place to make plays while making plays, good footwork, decent to good on the board with you.

You only get 15 points to build a state championship program… Most coaches will waste points on the wrong things. What are you choosing? 👇 (Quote repost with your build)
