A log of talk about that concept the past couple of years. Downside is that a high talent recruit is only staying one year max so there is limited upside unless you get lucky and the frosh is a major impact player like Anthony Davis was his 1st year.That would be an interesting way this could go, maybe. If P5s are focusing more on getting soph/junior transfers from mids, and mids are being forced into playing the farm system role, then why not shamelessly go after 5-star HS kids and be like "I don't care that [insert P5] is recruiting you, you come play for us for a year or two instead of sitting the bench there, then transfer to [insert P5] and start right away and get 3x the money because you're an established player." So mids officially become feeders for the big boys. Load up on 5 star underclassmen and upperclassmen P5 transfers. Sounds easy. Maybe those conversations happen already, who knows.
I kid, of course. But sorta not really
