Roster update bug?

So... I have seen the speculation on Reddit about this, but this has to be a bug. No way it was intended this way. I'm a bit tight, I got locked out of an HB in the portal, and then another decommitted due to playing time, which was obviously met because I can still recruit him. But that's not my issue here anymore, but it is a symptom of a bigger problem.

Here's what I noticed on the advance from off-season transfer week 2 to 3. This is the point where the roster updates. When all your drafted and graduating seniors leave the roster accountability and the class changes for all recruits. I think the class changing here might be a simulation of the real transfer portal, and that's whatever, but how in God's name are my drafted and graduating seniors still on the roster at this point? I only really kinda noticed my graduating WR on the roster prior, but what gave it away was that almost my entire team's needs list went from white to red, and I was only locked out of 3 recruits... Like, how am I now supposed to replace those players when I wasn't accounting for them prior because I thought they were already gone? This has never been the case in the previous game, so I assumed it had to be a bug. 

If this isn't a bug, then EA needs to seriously clarify what is happening that week, so that Dynasty players have a complete understanding of what to expect. This is pretty unfair to be this uncertain about an advancement from one week to another.

Let's toss aside the decommitted players and deal-breaker changes. Still, that roster update alone is a massive change for 1 week, and then throw in the chaos of the decommitted and deal-breaker grade changes, and that week is now unmanageable. It's basically a dumpster fire every year you're hoping to survive. I never noticed it in my 1st two seasons with Missouri State because it didn't cause me chaos, but after my first full year with Syracuse, and now having this happen in the off-season, it was an entirely devastating change in one week. My recruiting was limited all year by the lack of available local recruits, and when I could find them, they were all poached by schools farther away. My favorite was Kentucky stealing a player in 4 weeks that I was draining 50 hrs every week for 6 weeks. These are issues I seldom had at Missouri State, and I feel like they may also be a bit buggy. The added recruiting bonus seemed not to matter at all. Like it's one thing when Ohio State or Georgia does it, but Kentucky... Let's be real. Kentucky ain't reaching that hard into NY and peeling a player off you so fast it feels meaningless to continue recruiting them after 2 weeks of them gaining interest. 

Either it's a bug or again clarity on what this is would be nice.
