Covid impact on recruiting pushed down to 21's, 22's, 23's?

I have a son 21 recruit in swimming, summer junior level times, all american in USA swimming and NISCA swimming, nearly olympic trial cut, and can honestly say this year recruiting has been brutal, teams cut, roster spots cuts, current swimmers red shirting or gap year meaning incoming recruiting spots cut, spots and offers literally vanishing in short time, NCAA dead period with no visits, no in person talking to coaches and no one knows what is going to happen in athletic department budgets for the next few years nor how many swimmers will take advantage of extra year of eligibility. In the end my kid is accepting an offer from a school he would have never considered just because of the distance from home. Until that NLI is signed in a few weeks though nothing is certain. He was told by many schools we have just moved on to 2022 or even 2023 recruiting classes. So 2021 class heavily affected but will affect spots for years.
