Enter the transfer portal after year 1 or 2. A lot of these recruits want the paycheck and their HS recruitment will drive up the price to sign with the school they choose coming after high school. They get a 2nd opportunity at a paycheck when schools pay for their services when they enter the portal. If the players motives to sign are a paycheck, it would make sense for these guys to try to get paid twice which means they will enter the portal at some point in their career in college.
The only way to stop the bidding is a pay for play contract model where the player is locked into a school for a certain number of years but gets paid by the school. I'm for a 3 year contact with the 4th being a free agency year. These schools in a pay for play model should have a salary cap they can't go over.
