well, if you are a high school kid, you need to consider Moorhead is moving into the Mankato theory -- that's fine, but they are always going to be taking transfers and JUCOs each year over the HS kids they recruited.

I do think it's interesting looking at the Mavs history actually. What are their two worst teams in recent history? By record, they are 2019-20 (17-15) and 2011-12 (7-19), and only his first two seasons come close. How many transfers did each team have? 2019-20 had Kelby Kramer, but it looks like he was the only transfer into the team if I'm reading the roster correctly. And it doesn't look like 2011-12 had any transfers.
Sometimes, some coaches are just better at recruiting a different kind of player. It sure seems like Margs has success finding kids looking for a fresh start, a new opportunity. I expect him to continue to thrive in this transfer portal era. Credit to him for getting the Willinghams to stay close to home though.

I think most coaches would admit that high school recruiting is still main priority, but changes with transfer rules has probably increased the focus on transfers. In some respects hard to blame these coaches as players are also not as loyal anymore given their quick trigger to transfer in many cases.

I would disagree about high schoolers being priority. We’re in an era of college ball where teams want to get old and stay old. Grad transfers and older guys with experience are like gold. It sucks for high school kids- not as many opportunities to go straight to a 4 year institution as those spots are now being filled by 22-23 year olds.

Upper classmen and grad students transfers all were humble freshmen at one point in their athletic careers. There has to be a balance of student ratios. Most college's best players stay with their original school for a better education and collegiate experience Good examples: Drew Blair and Isaac Fink.

Many teams over the years have tried to go largely go with juco and transfer players. That is usually a recipe for disaster for many reasons. There needs to be a healthy balance between high school standouts and transfers. I still believe most top teams will spend much time and resources to get the best high schools kids they can, but the transfer game is unfortunately a growing reality for all.
