But a couple things have been revealed/proven through all this - 1) CAG can attract and CLOSE on top level talent and 2) UD is very much considered a destination program for players looking to play professionally (anywhere).

There will also be 2 other things to consider.
1) If the P5 are loading up on transfers instead of the top freshman, those players will start trickling down to programs like UD. The P5 won't have enough roster sports for ALL of the top transfers and ALL of the top freshman.
2) Players like Sibert, Ibi, and Vee who go to the big schools but get stuck behind transfers will also look to transfer, and more than likely transfer to schools like UD.
So either way UD will still end up with good players. The multiple bid mid-majors will continue to compete because they will still get good players one way or another. It's the 1 bid leagues that will be hurt the most by this.
