That's an optimistic take, but the data on roster composition suggests established powers still have a massive edge. The top 25 teams in the 2024 recruiting class still pulled over 70% of the composite five-star talent. For programs like ours at Capital, the real competition is in the OAC for the proven Group of Five transfers, not the national top-100 croots. The cap might level the bidding for a specific player, but blue bloods win with depth built from multiple top-250 guys we rarely even get a visit from. It helps, but calling it a silent commit to parity is premature until we see a real shift in where those elite croots actually sign.
