@anotherparent posted:I was just looking at a P5 2023 roster where 18 of the 42 players listed were transfers - juco and 4yr. But I seem to remember before covid, when my son was being recruited, there were teams where 80% of the upperclassmen were transfers, they tended to be D2 or lower-level D1, but also P5.
Maybe the difference is, back then a school with upperclass transfers would still have 15 freshmen, most of whom would be gone by junior year, now they are taking fewer freshmen?
I could be wrong, but I think it's just more prevalent now. There were always some schools with lots of transfers, but I think more schools are doing that now. Especially, D1 schools. That was also happening pre-Covid when a new coach took over, but usually those guys still recruited high school kids.
