If you're a high major Division 1 basketball staff, just how much attention are you paying to the remaining uncommitted c/o 2022 high school prospects or JUCOs? Even if you're a mid major, what group are you monitoring the most in April? My bet is every program in the country is currently shopping the transfer portal. I just posted in the recruiting forum that a guard with offers from Maryland and TCU just verballed to UIC. UIC only finished 9-10 in the Horizon League. There could be a number of different reasons contributing to why a kid would pick UIC over Maryland and TCU (and Ohio), but I'm wondering just how many of those offers were still commitable. How many schools are even truly full? My theory is that the yearly growing number of transfer portal entries is going to manifest in at least two different ways: 1) Good high school prospects that wait until spring of their senior years to commit will be forced to accept a "lesser" offer because the better programs back off in favor of plucking a Mark Sears or a Ben Vander Plas. Maybe that prospect isn't truly committed to staying at the mid or low major, and goes in fully intending to kill it at the smaller school in order to get the better program's attention in later years. This could have a multiplying effect that will only cause more such transfers with each passing years unless... 2) More high school prospects with offers going into their senior years decide to commit early and sign at the first opportunity to do so. Lock down their spot on a college roster and they probably won't have to worry about an unavailable spot the following spring. That could however result in missing out on what truly is the best fit if that best fit hasn't offered early.

Some of the "quality" high school players I've spoken to are considering just getting any scholarship, getting noticed, and then taking advantage of the portal to move up to where they might have pre-covid.

That’s a very interesting theory we could see increasingly often with the introduction of the portal and the easier process to transfer. The pandemic has caused everlasting damage on many industries, including the world of college basketball. Unless the portal is changed sometime, I think the process Shab notes of highly touted college seniors opting for mid Major schools then transferring up will be a painfully common occurrence. But this also would result in commits signing very early like Shab mentioned, to secure their roster spot.

Knowing when to commit, where your real options lie, etc. is starting to feel like a full time job.

This is a genuine question. I see a future where only the bluechips are signing out of high school (and negotiating the highest NIL payout) while the rest will fall victim to the transfer portal.

Someone has to. You still have expiring eligibilities that need to be replaced with prospects coming from outside of D1.

Having just completed the online annual sexual harassment/Title IX course that I'm required to take, I cannot imagine going to school in an even quasi-online format. Pure torture. There was an editorial by Mike Kelly in yesterday's "The Record",(sorry it won't link) about just how ineffective remote "learning" was, especially for younger kids. Teachers are amazed just how far behind kids are, especially in reading and math. He said, the as yet unnamed generation will be Generation "R", for remedial. Kids are so far behind, educators in N.J. want to suspend the 11th grade competency/Graduation exam, out of fear of the results "devastating" students. I agree with Alan about Remote Learning for an extended period is torture for an adult. Imagine trying to keep a kid's attention for hours, looking at a screen.

Against the law. Remember, many states high school athletic associations are actually controlled by the state legislatures. Just like with college, once states started passing NIL laws the NCAA was toast on any resistance to the movement.

The portal provides clarity and takes a lot of risk out of the equation.
