2027 wing Daniel Abass is a key centerpiece for the DeMatha Stags (MD) moving forward. His work ethic and expanding skill set has helped him gain traction from high-level collegiate programs.

Have we ever had OV's from multiple 4* players in the same season?! Actually, how many 4* players have we even had - Copes and Justyn Fernandez? Was Kanga?

I wonder if the recruiters like Skinn have a better shot at getting these kids who would almost always go high major due to the portal and making a pitch - come here, play early and earn a promotion/paycheck by transferring up.

Emmanuel Kanga is the second highest rated recruit ever according to 247sports. But consider Copes, Holloway, and Fernandez are in the top 5 that’s not saying much about these rankings.

But yes I think you are spot on, the transfer market is pushing the HS recruiting landscape down the chain.
