I think yall are underestimating what “lower rated” high school recruits think of themselves. They all still think that they’re gonna make it big… they’ll optimize their profitability just like everyone else is.
I don’t blame them, that’s the system… no one is hanging around for yrs for little or no money to get “developed”.

You're not wrong, but high school recruiting services have already done the rating work.
Theoretically you could point to that and say "this is what you get in payment and development if you stick around", but to your point I think a third of all D-1 players entered the portal this go around.
What I would really love to be able to see is where every single portal entrant ended -> especially if they left a D1 program and ended up having to go down a division.

The issue now for HS kids is they have to compete with college players in the portal that have experience and shown themselves on a college level.
If things stay how they are now then HS kids will be viewed below transfers and they will have to sign somewhere lower to prove themselves and then jump in the portal.
Instead of building up for certain years every year will be rebuilding years for everyone and championship teams will be bought from the portal each year.
