Everyone loves flipping recruits from Rivals and with Mario at the helm, flipping blue chip recruits is now the norm and not the exception. But what long term impact do kids that flip have in the portal era? Do they make an impact, end up as JAGs or hit the portal at the first sign of adversity? @JHallCanes asked for a thread to monitor the long term impact of recruits that flip. So we'll capture the list and monitor the results on the field and GreenTree.
