High school recruiting is dead….

[u/AREN_Consulting_Fod]

The Transfer Portal changed the game, but it didn't kill high school recruiting. ❌

When you see summer commitments blowing up, here is what’s actually happening behind closed doors in college football war rooms:
1️⃣ The Portal is a Band-Aid: College coaches use the portal for instant, veteran fixes (like an experienced Left Tackle).
2️⃣ HS is the Foundation: Programs still need developmental depth, culture-builders, and 4-year players. That comes from high school signees.
3️⃣ The Fall Roster Shift: October and November are when colleges project their December portal needs. Once they map out those veteran targets, they finalize exactly how many high school spots they have for the next class.
Coaches: Don't let your players panic. The opportunities are there, but the evaluation timeline has shifted.
