What if you aren't enrolled one year?

That doesn't matter. Once you enroll the clock starts. If you don't go straight to college after HS, you could enroll in college and be eligible for any sport at the age of 25 if you want. But once you enroll, the clock starts. Now there may now be some rules about completing a certain % of your courses, etc., but you still have 5 years to play 4.
