I have a question if a player at NAIA college transfers to DI or DII school do they need redshirt a year?
Thank you

The athlete would need the NAIA school to grant permission to another 4 year coach to contact your kid. However former TB coaches, etc dont need this permission if they want to call a coach and gauge the interest level.. Dont expect any confidentiality though if you go this route.
I've heard it also goes the other way - college coaches making contact via an intermediary (e.g. TB coach). Sounds like the same process they use to skirt recruiting rules for prospective student-athletes...
Not sure how I jacked up the link, but here is a link to the NCAA Transfer Guide for 12/13: http://www.ncaapublications.com/p-4288- ... 12-13.aspx
