With many 2021 college seniors just now deciding to stay and take advantage of their 5th year, they’ve take the last remaining roster spot or two that was available to the 22 recruits. Many teams will keep their own 5th year or take a 5th year in the transfer portal over an unknown 22 high school recruit. I think the 22 recruiting class is essentially complete in D1 and mostly complete in D2. I think uncommitted 22’s this summer tourney season will be vying for available D3 roster spots. D1 and D2 are moving on to the 23 recruiting class and the 23 class will also be much smaller than recruiting classes prior to the 2021 class. Too many proven grad players to pull from!

Smaller recruiting classes for one,


Agreed. Hearing rumors that some top ACC , Big 10, etc. schools recruiting classes for the 23 grad year will be much smaller since many of these schools are investing in grad transfers.

Recruiting classes will be about the same, there just won't be as much money available.

This is not true. Classes will be smaller. It was trending that way already even before Covid.
It doesn’t matter what’s “trending” right now. The 22 class was recruited through film. The 23 class will have coaches on the sidelines. There is no definitive answer. I think the safe answer is no one really knows and we will have to wait and see. Covid messed with a lot things, including scenarios.
