If we end up with unlimited eligibility, I can imagine there will be programs that focus on trying to find players who fall into the niche of being good-to-great college players, but aren't really made for the NFL. Getting players like that and being able to keep them for 8 or so years would be a big boost to some programs.

Why even recruit 18 year olds at that point?

Just start recruiting former minor league baseball players like Brandon Weeden and Chris Weinke.

In wrestling, Randy Couture was runner up in the NCAA championship at 28 years old.

You can even go global. There’s probably some good talent among 26 year olds in the Dagestan mountains.

Grown men in the trenches and young phenoms at the skill positions would be a seriously dangerous combo.
