Some may not be able to access it but it breaks down the effects of the 1 year Covid waiver for all student athletes. There are snippets from multiple coaches discussing how it's likely that they are going to only be looking to take 16-17 class of '22 kids instead of the usual 22-23 kids because of scholarship limitations with all of the kids already on the roster potentially having an extra year. They talk about the potential of 500-600 less kids than normal getting a D1 scholarship in this class.

My initial thought would be this bodes well for us in adding higher quality kids than normal. Would imagine that there will be a trickle down effect that helps us and our peers have more access to kids in that 400-600 range. Those are usually our highest rated recruits and in a normal year we are able to secure a couple. Maybe this now allows to get 3-5 instead of 1-3 in that range.  Other point of view is that with Covid potentially robbing these high school kids of a year of development and there likely being way less tape on these kids right now that there is going to be way less separation between the 3 star ranked 400th and the one ranked 900th anyway.
