I agree with this. When JUCOs started having difficulty with admissions and transfers, the prep schools became the new JUCos, as players would go to prep school to increase their visibility and attraction to better programs.The way the portal works, mid-majors are the new jucos. Guys spend 1-2 years there, show some promise and transfer to a power 5 school.
Now, the portal and mid-majors have, in effect, eliminated the need for the Big 5/6 conferences to recruit from prep schools. They can target the top 200 kids from HS and make up the rest of the schollies from the portal.
As we have seen with a lot of misses over the last 10-15 years, JUCO players, even a JUCO AA, rarely transfer any longer to a dominant power conference player.
