In reading Western Oregon's site, I was surprised to see quite a few athletes not opt for that extra year, including the Wolves best softball player, a potential All-American. She was ready to move on with her life and had lined up a good job.
I think you will see that in all sports where some guys are done with it have their degree and they're ready to graduate. There are also be a lot of athletes who will rrturn and embrace it. I think it will be 50/50.

I actually think Shabazz will have a European pro contract lined up by then.

Great stuff Anchorage and I think it will make recruiting tricky. I hope prep kids don't get left out of the loop. I've always been a big advocate of redshirting, so this is sort of like that. I think redshirting at the D2 level is really good. It's rare to get an off-the-charts freshman at D2, those guys are going D1. Guys like WWU's Hommes had knee problems, WOU's Avgi was going to play football at OSU until a change of heart, and so forth. You're finding guys who slipped between the cracks. The studs don't need redshirting, a lot of other guys do.
