Specifically to being recruited to D1 colleges. To get the gist of the post going I'll offer a little detail.
If you could pick ONE (only one)
What would you rather have?
The opportunity for early recruitment.
Or
The transfer portal.
There was EARLY RECRUITMENT
( D1 colleges could approach players under the age of 16 and make them an offer. Even though it was verbal and contracts were not signed yet. There was early recruitment.)
That ended. And rules were put in place to wait till players got a couple years older to make these offers.
Now there is the TRANSFER PORTAL.
Players that are already in college using the transfer portal as a vessel to switch to another college.
CREATED colleges utilizing the tranfer portal to recruit players that are already in college.
Taking away opportunities from graduating high school players.
Literally certain colleges bringing on 10 transfer portal recruits in one season.
