HS Recruits 2022

[El Paso Eagle]

General observation that I am probably overthinking --

Last year there was something like 300+ less HS players signing in FBS/FCS. This year there was/is again the expectation that fewer HS players would sign overall.

In theory, shouldn't there have been a lot more players available, and therefore potentially higher rated platers? Yet, our HS players, while possibly diamonds in the rough, are not as highly rated.

This may/may not answer your question, but in the gomeangreen podcast, they mention that 247 rated the transfer portal players first. This resulted in delayed ratings for the players. (A couple of our new signees are not rated).
