The listing at one of the two web sites is sortable, with a column showing 'eligibility left'.

(If I counted correctly): 5 listed as having four years eligibility, 29 with three years, 37 with two years, 77 with one year.

(It says "109 Total Players' at the top, but that's clearly incorrect; maybe that's total still available, or some such).

Thanks!

Did anyone do a head count of how many in the transfer portal were freshmen, sophomores, juniors, seniors and fifth year seniors?

A quick sort of the portal list (which doesn't differentiate between Sr and 5th year)
Seniors - 60
Juniors - 20
Sophomores - 30
Freshmen - 30

Well, I hope that she is able to figure the question out with the coaches.


FiveHoleFrenzy, thanks for the link, earlier on this thread, which looks like a good set of interviews:

You're welcome... I probably should have mentioned that the interview session with assistant coach Bethany Brausen does cover the topic of the transfer portal as it relates to recruitment.

Except the Ivies as a whole did not play so that was a decision from the top down, rather than a student exercising a choice of not playing.

The NCAA was pretty clear about who got the extra COVID year: "Winter sport student-athletes who compete during 2020-21 in Division I will receive both an additional season of competition and an additional year in which to complete it, the Division I Council decided."

FiveHoleFrenzy, thanks for the link, earlier on this thread, which looks like a good set of interviews:

This is a podcast from Youth Hockey Hub (State of Minnesota). It will require a chunk of time for those who have interest in the recruitment process. It will be well worth your time. This podcast has a lot of information and the guests are, Bethany Brausen, assistant coach for St. Thomas, Josie Hemp, an incoming freshmen for the UofM, and the dad of Josie St. Martin, who is a committed 24 recruit for tOSU.

That interpretation seems very punitive to me (not that being punitive would break new ground for the NCAA). It seems like the pandemic was beyond VanStone's control (yes, she could have transferred, if we want to chuck that entire student side of "student athlete").

I generally agree. But the NCAA - IMO - very much wanted to "incentivize" athletes to participate in 2020-21, and the flip side of that was/is to dis-incentivize those who did not. It's the combination of 'COVID year' and 'non-participation' that makes this (I hesitate to use the word) unique.
