Billy is this just outgoing D1 guys or does it include all levels? There are about 300 D1 which would mean about 15 per team on average.
I actually think the roster limits may help this madness in the long run. A larger percentage of guys in programs will be used and feel welcomed / with a future. But yeah, in the year of transition we knew it was gonna be bad.
It’s all levels. Keep in mind that was in 8 hours, farsurpassed basketball, which has more teams. This baseball portal I’ve been told by a good friend and coach in the SWAC, they expect to approach 8,000.
I don’t disagree with you from the aspect that guys on a roster may benefit in that way. I know a few of my old OHIO baseball alums kind of think the same way. It’s the Hs kids who are going to take a beating in the short term.
