These kids are getting their first face to face contact in over a year with coaches this week. It will be interesting to see if they commit quickly or enjoy the process.

Just the one, huh. I guess all those digitized traveling posts with the three letter airport identifiers were for next weekend.

Not going y to happen. He has officials set up the next two weekends. Most of these kids will take all their OV. We might get a commit by late June but I figure July and august.
Also not sure SU or any school uses all their available scholarships on HS players from now on. Think a lot of schools will now be 2/3 high school 1/3 transfer. No reason to reach on players when you know there will be hundreds in the transfer portal. Another positive is once they transfer in they have used up their one free transfer with immediate eligibility versus a high school player that has a bad day and decides to transfer.

I don't think it will be 1/3 of scholarships being used on transfers. Many of those transfers in the portal are transferring down or haven't found a landing spot. Kids in the portal are probably going to be more competition for spots with JUCOS than HS kids.

I think this may vary depending on the level of competition and where the player is coming from/going. I think P5 programs will fill their classes more as you have indicated. But lower tier programs may be more willing to take someone who perhaps couldn't cut it at a higher level.
It comes down to that difficult measure: potential. Do you take a chance on someone who has apparently not played to their potential (yet) in college, or go with someone who has pure potential, but only played against other HS kids to this point?
It will be interesting...

The reason I think it is 1/3 is that you have a lot of quality players in the portal that are freshman or sophomores. They go to a blue blood program, do not immediately start and place their name in the portal.
it’s not like the past where it was graduate players or older transfers. Getting a lot of these transfers is like getting a high schools players eligibility 3 or 4 years to play plus the added benefit that they were in a college program for one to two years.
Juco also seems like a group that will loose out. Why take a junior with two years eligibility versus a freshman or sophomore transfer that can play immediately.

Agree the thing that upsets me the most is ( BC ) and ( Rutgers ) each have 12 commits to our ( 4 ) and Rutgers has a big lead on 4 star ( LB ) Moses Walker to boot. Personally I consider those to schools as well as Pitt as being true eastern rivals, I am hungry for some commits !!!!

Coming off a one win season it’s going to be harder to get kids to commit early. Both Rutgers and BC have a lot of early verbals but no telling if they will sign in December. I’d rather it take a little longer to make sure when a player verbals he eventually signs.

I agree with Cuse Legacy on transfer portal players and how many a team may take. Players transfer for various reasons and you have to sort through all of that to see if they are a fit.

You have to ask questions about why these players are transferring. Why are they transferring? Can't cut it at a Blue Blood? If so, why couldn't they do it? Want to play up a level in competition? Disgruntled in how they are being used or about their playing time? Home sick? Lots of factors. The list shrinks after you filter out your potentials, and then you have to get those players to commit to you and not someone else.

I don't see the transfer portal being as much of a solution as many do.

Coaching staff works hard to vet high school players and make offers. I could see them going after Portal kids that they offered in high school that didn't originally commit to us, though, and those other players that hit all the check marks ...like a Shrader
