Isn't that same for every junior in high school? Are recruiters going to be happy to miss out an entire year?

Sure. The kids who are disadvantaged are the ones who were poised to have a breakout year this season. So recruiters just won’t notice them, as opposed to the prospects that were already known.

Basically, anyone is disadvantaged who would normally have a small window of opportunity to prove something right now.
