To be exact, according to Raoul's blog:
In 2021-22, there were:
- 1,331 Total
- 269 from P-5 Schools
- 1,062 Non P-5's
- 192 Players who had previously transferred
In 2022-23 (so far)
- 302 Total Transfers
- 87 P-5 Transfers (about 1/3 of last year)
- 215 from Non P-5's
- 34 who had previously transferred
So, if you feel there are less transfers that you're reading about than lat year, you're right...so far.
One possible reason I can see for this is that the Covid exemption only applies to juniors and seniors now, cutting down on the multiple years a player might get.
And, who knows, maybe coaching staffs are addressing issues that players cited when they transferred (more open communications?).
Stay tuned.
