Great Point

Paul Finebaum had a segment on this yesterday and noting how many stud athletes in HS are not even getting recruited anymore. As schools with limited budgets are trying to fill needs via the portal. This is where schools like JMU and Liberty could really shine and get some good young players out of HS for a couple of years before they move on to bigger schools. Heck an argument could be made that VT might also benefit from some HS kids as well. I had a friend whose son was set to go to a school and pitch and they pulled his scholarship at the last minute to give to a kid in the portal.
