Part of the transfer equation is the 2020 eligibility exemption.  Many schools have been boxed into a corner in which they only have a handful of guys who have exhausted their eligibility.  In order to bring a “normal number” of high school recruits, a reduction in numbers must occur.  I’m guessing a lot of schools are encouraging guys to put their name in the portal.

Yeah, I would expect that at the very top schools, having outbound transfers is a way to get rid of deadweight.  In the past, a player who might have been over-recruited by a younger player might have stuck around for four years (or been forced out); now they see the writing on the wall and leave on their own accord, allowing the program to bring in more 5* recruits.
