I’ve grey shirted and Red shirted. Grey shirting in the NCAA is taking less than 12 hours a in a semester and less than 10 hours for NAIA. There’s supposedly a rule that says you can’t greyshirt more than once but I couldn’t find anything about it online. But if you don’t want to use a grey shirt, you can take a gap year(not enroll). And then there’s prep schools. So if a kid really wanted to max out their preparation they could go to prep school which still technically counts as high school. There’s so many loopholes to manipulate the college competition clock. If I had a son, I’d tell him to prepare for two years before playing. Unless he’s some sort of mega star.
