I wonder then if it will start to die down a little w/o the covid transfer and the extra eligibility.

It will slow down a little bit, but it's going to be wild from this point forward.

Otherwise, I'd probably just change my strategy to picking sophomores from the portal instead of going HS. Kinda like the kids from UCONN and Duke approach. Didn't get playing time, ok come here and build with us

I think a lot of non-traditional power schools will look to utilize this strategy. It used to be that only schools like Iowa State that did not have the ability to recruit highly rated HS guys would use this route to find good players, but now a bunch of schools are doing it. Baylor won a title with this strategy.

One thing to note is all the guys coming into A&M this year are eligible immediately, but they would have to sit out a year if they transfer. That makes it somewhat less likely that they will transfer again. So this will contribute to some slowing of transfers across the nation next year and beyond.
