Most likely Juco for up to 2 years or prep school for 1.

But ... there are other options, including some schools which will accept a non-qualifier, who won’t be able to play or practice that first year. If I recall correctly, C-USA schools will accept non-qualifiers.

No. Basically the new coaching staff had scholarships available and took chances on two top prospects who were borderline to qualify. Both committed to us on signing day, Feb 6th.
