My younger boys (5th and 7th) were invited to participate in a Middle School AAU All Star event this weekend with players from all over the country. There were a lot of players, coaches and speakers at the 3 day event. One of the things explained by ALL of the college and HS coaches that spoke was that recruiting as we know it is over. The portal and NIL are the current and future direction of recruiting.

The message was that the 5 star players are still going to get recruited and offered NIL money, but most colleges are not focusing on recruiting HS players outside of the top kids anymore, their focus are on the kids that enter the portal, as that is a better way to identify, evaluate and determine the players they want. Regardless of the "why" of the transfer, coaches can evaluate the player, his potential and the “situational” challenges which made him enter the portal. They said a very high number of players that would have previously been recruited out of HS are not even getting offers. This includes D1, D2 and D3.
