Is anyone following / covering the JCs / Community colleges for possible transfers?
I saw on another board discussions ended around 2022. Are teams like Golden West, Saddleback or OCC still strong? Do players transfer from these schools?
FYI for Men’s Polo. Same two almost every year at top with similar roster makeup

Ah I see this is Fantastic thanks! Do any of the players move on?
That’s a good question I don’t have the full answer for, especially as of recent years. In years past some very good players came thru JuCo due to HS academics, costs, or simply late bloomers.

Thanks for the info! I appreciate it
When we were at the OC Showcase, the academic advisor discussed JuCo’s and pointed out majority of the kids are finished after two years. Those who continue on playing end up at Private schools (Pepperdine, Concordia, LMU, etc…).

This is an interesting development for players considering JUCO:

apparently NCAA has granted all players who played at JUCO and had their eligibility expire after this school year, one more year of eligibility. I am not sure that effects many of the top players, maybe helps Cal state Fullerton keep a few more guys for one more season. At this time it is a one time deal, while NCAA appeals the Pavia ruling. I am hearing from Soccer parents that this is a disaster for this years graduating class. lots of kids getting kicked down the road with roster limits and extended eligibility for Juco transfers.
