She will have it tough and I stated that, but transfers can be pledged and have pledged. It is not impossible - hard yes, not impossible. It all depends what she brings to the table during recruitment. That is what her situation is all about.

Agreed, my Big was taken in her Junior year at UF, its comletely possible!!

But was she a transfer? There's a big difference between a junior who has already been on campus for two years, is involved and knows a lot of people and a junior transfer with little to know connections.

She wasn't, but my Heart Sister was - from Tallahassee CC. So, not impossible, just more difficult than if you had come into recruitment as a Freshman, most definately.

That was the whole point of my post. Not impossible. Just not probable.

Just a question/not trying to amp up anything:

At competative schools like Ole Miss and UF, is there a difference between transfering from Random College and transferring from, shall we say, Prestigious Junior College for Women. I know that back in my day, it was very common at places like UNC (Chapel Hill) for junior transfers to get a bid if they were coming from one of a handful of girls' schools, especially if they had made their debut sophomore year.

Granted, those factors provided connections, sometimes better connections than a random freshman had. Just wondering if this can still be a factor, especially at more competative schools. (And I realize as I type this that two such schools I was familiar with are no longer junior colleges; one is now a 4-year college and one is only a high school -- it used to be a last-two years of high school/first two years of college institution -- so maybe its just not as much of an issue period anymore.)

Rushing as a junior at both FSU and UF is difficult, yes. However, it is NOT impossible to get a bid. I say this because I have seen it done by people at both schools.
