[Helpinghand]

There has been a new change to the NCAA core credits list!

The change was made to the number of years for English and to the years of additional courses of English math, science.

English dropped to 3 years. Additional courses for English math and science went up by one year.

Would that have made a difference for any kids we have recruited the past couple of seasons, or are recruiting now?

I can't imagine that these NCAA core list is going to be more stringent than the Ohio State Requirements.... but Thanks HH as always.

I'm pretty sure I just read that all Ohio high school kids need 4 years of English to graduate. So I doubt it would make a difference on the Ohio kids.
