this is NOT a shot at ay in the slightest, but if we went exclusively by rosters, Ariana Rodriguez would *NOT* have been fantasy eligible during the draft if we’re going per website, among others I’m sure edit: also, the ncaa gives you 5 years to compete in 4 seasons. a player that didn’t play for four years and started their fifth year would be in their last season of competition. a second year player who didn’t compete in their first year would be in their first season of competition. That is one of the upsides to the current rule.. It can be decided retroactively. No one has to play a freshman until week 11. You do not have to draft a freshman. Rodriguez could have not counted as a freshman for week 1, and then counted as a freshman for week 1 after they fixed the roster. It might be semantics, but I think if the rule is going to dive into the 5 years to complete 4, the terms need to be defined. To me, someone that does not play for 4 years and then plays in their 5th season would be considered in their first season of competition but their fifth/last season of eligibility. Someone that does not play for 1 year and then plays in their 2nd season would be considered to be in their first season of competition but their second season of eligibility. Someone that plays in all 4 years would be in their 4th season of competition and their 4th/last season of eligibility. |

I’m not sure I see a problem. bigger player pool means more options. I want the best fantasy players playing week-to-week. with more options will come more turnover which is why I pushed for a longer free period of add/drops. I think maybe the only control I’d push for is if you pick someone up you can’t drop them for 24 hours maybe? I’d rather you have restrictions on players you cut from your roster than players you pick up having to wait to cut them again. (Especially with the add/drop deadline thing). If you want to drop someone, you cant get them back in 5 minutes One of my other concerns is the players who are picked up purely for non conf and using them for one week only purposes, or 2-3 weeks. Maybe some are okay with this, but this is mostly for bottom P4 teams. Yeah. Perhaps for next year add a rule that a "free" add cannot be dropped freely? If that makes sense - once a reinforcement is on the roster, it costs an add/drop to change them out. Will solve some of that one-week only stuff and slow down the pace. I think one of the challenges is that people pick up players really early in Week 1 who start well but not necessarily to add them - just to lock them down and see if they turn out. Making that more of a commitment will make it less of a "race" on Day 1 and add/dropping just to monopolize players. |

Re add/drops, I'd keep it easy and just go back to a set number for the season. I recall a few years ago when shhhhhh admin'd, we were limited to just 10 add drops post draft. THAT was way too crazy and limited. That was the same year multiple players on my team came down with injury very early.
With a roster size of 18, I'd say something like 15-20 add/drops once the season starts, with an injury exception. Like if a player didn't play in the week prior, and you drop them, it doesn't count against the add/drop number.

also freshmen were discussed in pages 13 and 14 of the PM thread I think. I guess no conclusion was really reached?

Like if a player didn't play in the week prior, and you drop them, it doesn't count against the add/drop number. Injury exceptions are inconsistent and it depends on how big the program is how easy it is to find out. In some instances, players return only as DS or 3-ro's or not playing front/back-row related to their injury and in that example ^ couldn't be dropped. If there's ever a set limit (like unlimited + a number) it's so much better to do a firm number than a number + exceptions IMO. I think my preference now would be unlimited* through week 2 or 3 + a set number. But with that unlimited, there are restrictions on how many times you can add/drop the same player or a waiting period to add/drop the same player/spot. |

I'm gonna say 1 free drop of any drafted player, then 10 for the season would be exciting and compelling. The add/drop decisions should be meaningful - we've got a bit too much chaos on opening day. |

Not the SMU live stats listing Tabron as playing in 3 sets when she has sat so far for the 3rd. Hopefully it gets fixed if she truly doesn’t play

I think the USC dub-sub may cook me uofaGRAD only issue is my team is way underperforming in digs right now… I’m afraid the category is wide open. Mosher was awful and my libero had one dig in her first set😭😭 |
