I remember an article in 2013 (ESPN) that spoke about the issue that you've alluded to, so it has not changed, nor will it change in the near future.
18 mos is the average time for scholarship athletes.
Note, doesn't this happen with other sports or any business?
As for coaches "to lazy with recruitment and vetting", that is a slippery slope. The question is, what is their roster management strategy?
For example, what does Abilene Christian do?

Looks like they get major of the players from JUCO.
What is their annual player turnover?
Note, each school will have their individual tendencies and the player/parents need to understand this is how life works.

Any time you have a coaching change, the transfer numbers are generally high. The high number of transfers may or may not be the norm moving forward.
