I'm not sure why the cost and TOPS always come up when discussing greyshirts. Most of the time they don't take any classes until the Spring anyway, and if they do enroll in the Fall it is only part time.

That does seem to be the way it plays out but I've read many times that it is advantageous to greyshirt local kids because of TOPS - or because they have the financial wherewithal (family $) to carry them thru in order to free up a slot.

Help me out. Is the decision for a grayshirt to enroll in fall classes:

Pro
Walk on to the team and get coaching and weight training.

Con
Starts eligibility clock and leaves you with only 4 to play 4, instead of 5 to play 4 if one waits until the spring.

ETA: obviously aside from financial considerations and the fact that one will graduate sooner and the question of what one does for a semester of sitting out.
