I believe it depends on the recruit's status. Borderline prospects, playing definitely helps, but big-time recruits are often well offered before their senior year. I can envision where more 4-star plus athletes opt to sit their senior year, especially if they are on a mediocre team. I also believe some colleges will encourage this (even though the won't admit it) with the amount of NIL money some these kids stay to make. I can also more this happening more with UIL restricting transfers for "athletic purposes" and good private schools offering them to play. It's going to be a tough battle for schools and high school coaches to convince kids to compete once they get offers from preferred universities, worse if they decide to transfer and get denied by UIL. 

I agree with this statement and have been saying this for many years.  The UIL has no idea what is about to him them in the next 5-10 years.  Not everyone is playing by the same set of rules.  At some point we have to stop with the non-sense about controlling where we send our kids to school and whether or not its for "athletic purposes".  Well NO JOKE every single transfer in the history of transfers is for athletic purposes so they can learn to adapt or get left behind as more options become available.  I too believe you will start to see committed seniors opt out of their UIL ISD senior year and take the road that better suits their career path.
