For many teams in the country right now, it’s all about the transfer portal. It used to be that high school recruiting was something that fans and media followed closely, with every offer, visit, and commitment being closely scrutinized. After the extra year of eligibility in 2020 and the one-time transfer waiver the sport changed drastically and now the transfer portal has become the main source of talent acquisition for a majority of programs with high school recruiting taking a back seat. However, there is still value to be had in the high school recruiting ranks as evidenced from the Gators getting valuable contributions from Alex Condon and Thomas Haugh, players who were able to come into college and contribute immediately.
