Eventually high school recruiting won't matter as much. The recruiting sites will start doing a transfer page with team rankings on that as well. When 5 stars on Bama and UGA and other programs aren't willing to wait their turn - other schools will jump in.

To a relative degree, sure. But actual contenders are still going to live off development of high school talent and only use the portal to plug holes. Teams that live off the portal are going to be your mid-majors, programs like Kansas St that don’t expect much beyond making a bowl game, and coaches on their last leg trying to save their jobs.
As an example, Georgia is going to talk to Gibbs and Haselwood but that doesn’t mean we will seriously pursue either (almost certainly not pursuing Zach Evans or Tank Bigsby if he enters) as it stands to affect team chemistry and alter roster numbers. Your top end teams aren’t going to automatically take the best players available from the portal just because they’re available (like they might in HS recruiting where you can get 3-4 years out of them)

Portal completely changed the outlook for Kentucky this season. Many thought it may be a down year and then transfers become our starting QB, WR, and LB. Portal is good for players. Without it, Will Levis would’ve never had an opportunity and Wandale Robinson would be getting beat up in the backfield at Nebraska
