Does NIL and transfer portal kill HS recruiting?

I am afraid the NIL and the transfer portal will alter college basketball the way we know it.
I wish they would cap it at a one time free transfer and every other transfer is a redshirt year. Use your transfer wisely.
Duke seems to be doing alright recruiting top high school talent and mixing in veteran transfers so I wouldn't say it's killing it.
Not for Purdue. HS kids are the core strategy with tactical portal additions as needed.
The answer is a clear yes. Why should a Power School recruit a player that might contribute as a freshman, that will be gone after first season. If he is great as a freshman, he is off to NBA and if he is good he is in the portal.
I think the kids are being hurt by agents, as if you transfer each year there is no player development.

been saying this for a couple years now. Not a new story.
Why would anyone recruit a high school player? If he doesn't start and be a top offensive option, he's going to transfer first chance he gets. Alternatively, if he's great he's leaving for the NBA.
Very few scenarios do you see a path for a high school player to be productive, happy and want to stay at the same school till he's an upperclassman. Makes way more sense to focus on recruiting the portal and the players you already have college film on .

It's going to be like the One and Done era. Once in a while you'll see an all-new team make a run, but you really have to mix kids that have been in the program with transfers.
You'll need to develop a core of high school kids you develop and mix in some transfers. Seems the best transfers are guys that have multiple years left and can mesh with the rest of the team. The key is convincing your high school recruits to stick it out when they aren't playing as freshman.
One thing to watch for, especially in Basketball but also football. Power 5 teams using smaller schools to place kids that won't play as freshman but will play at the smaller school. The Power 5 team will cover NIL, and the lesser school will get a year of that player in exchange for protecting him from other schools. Basically, a Farm System.

Can they break it down to games played? You get X amount of money per game + endorsements?
Bonuses for 20 points or 10 rebs/5 assists etc.
Make it performance-based.
In our sales they get a draw. Draw holds them over, but the good check comes at the end of the month. Paying a salesman upfront is beyond idiotic, they could just hang out and leave any time.
What you make on your own time (endorsements) is yours. We're going to pay for results.

Imagine if there's a stipend where dude gets money for each rebound but it only goes into effect when he reaches 10, then it's a little more for each after that.
Imagine the hustle.
Dude gets 1000 for 10 rebounds, then 200 for each one after that, once he reaches 15, it goes to 500 for everyone after that. 20 gets 1000.
