There are plenty of other schools (FIU comes to mind immediately) that bring in enormous freshman recruiting classes. Their 2020 class looks like it is about 17, 2021 already 11. Some school athletic directors set a cap on the number of student athletes a program can have competing in fall ball, I personally know one D1 program who caps it at 2 times the spring roster limit. Over-recruitment is a big factor in player churn, and the new D1 transfer rule allowing players not on athletic aid to enter the transfer portal and to go D1-D1 transfer without a sit out Year is going to have an impact on schools that offer zero or few athletic scholarships. That may be what is hitting those SEC schools mentioned earlier, that their guys who are walk ons are getting offers of athletic aid from other schools and deciding it is “time to dip.”
