Yes, though part of the reason this is true right now is because of the extra

Year of eligibility, not being able to assess about half of the country, and not increasing the amount of recruits you can sign each year.

I think we need to be a year or 2 post COVID to really see the effects. But I do think it's totally possible this will be an issue.

Well, but it also means kids can go to lower tier college programs first and work hard to transfer.

Shuffling players doesn’t mean fewer scholarships unless a ton of players start using RS/5th year grad transfers

Well if he has 3 guys transfer and they sign 3 portal guys that’s 0 impact. Also, who signs 25 guys per year from HS?

Transfer portal + COVID + extra years eligibility = tough for HS kids right now

fattycoug

Yeah on average high school kids won’t be affected. Just as many transfers out
