Rolled1 meant roster limits set by the House settlement.

yes sorry, they don’t have mandated house settlement roster limits, they could impose their own roster limits as they wish.

Good to see a large class in ncaa water polo nowadays.

Thats huge. Does this put them over 24 players?

Ivies and D3 do not have roster limits - I expect you will continue to see large classes for many of these schools. Princeton and Harvard may still keep it to 4-5 players per class just due to academic constraints but I also think more players will try to get in academically without assistance from the polo program too in the future.

Correct. For Ivy, beyond 4/5 coaches’ recruits the rest need to get accepted on their own academic merit. But, there are no limits to the size of the roster. The academic standards for the recruits can be a notch below, to illustrate a 33 ACT vs 35 and 3.8 vs 4.0 GPA. That said, many of the recruits have the stat to get accepted, but at 5% and lower acceptance rate, even having the stat, the probability is 1:15 . That’s where the coaches come and make it closer to 90%+ probability for those lucky 4. At the top academic D3 schools the coaches have a slightly weaker pull with admission.

That makes sense. All still excellent students in their own right. I guess the ivies will be willing to take many more walk ons as well in this scenario, if the player can get in. No real risk by the team in doing that. So no roster caps for IVY, Academies, and D3.

Also nice to see that recruits are mostly from many different parts of US, (plus on International kid). California kids, East coast kids, Midwest kid

very refreshing Brown. Nice job.

Not really a class of 2026. Better suited as a transfer portal post.

Do the schools in the ivies conference also have the 24 player limit or do they have their own guidelines?

The Ivies opted out of the House settlement so they do not have roster limits but they also are limited in that they are not allowed to distribute revenue to athletes either. They cannot provide any type of NIL payment to their athletes.

Obviously, the Ivies have long been behind the 8 ball competitively with practice restrictions that go beyond other D1 schools so I don’t expect them to change much competitively here.

Do we think Aiden Romain will be committing anywhere?

Princeton is my guess

Someone mentioned to me that Aiden is practicing with the Senior USA team. I’m not sure whether it is correct.
