I think the rich get richer. Successful programs with lots of booster money can go after proven talent instead of taking chances on 3* recruits. Half the guessing game of HS recruitment is whether players can make the transition in skill (performance) and maturity (academics/environment). If you take that unknown out of the equation, your return on time investment is much higher. And there's a lot less time spent on basic skills development.
As for the kids, this would definitely cause coaches to pay more attention to their players and take better care of them...but I could also see situations where a kid announces a transfer and it doesn't go through at the last minute, and maybe the schollie spot he vacated has already been filled. Lots of moving parts. Worth the risk? Maybe.
At a large American high-tech corporation I used to work for, I saw a number of internal transfers blocked by current 1st level managers due to "business need."Â (That arm of the company did not fare well as its particular strain of management culture was monolithic and distinct...)
