There have to be a lot of anxious athletes in that mix. Guys who walked away from full scholarships at good schools to chase what, a dream? A chance? I’m not a fan of the current system. But maybe, just maybe, it will direct kids to putting their educations ahead of football.
A number of the schools with the larger numbers had coaching changers recently. We are an exception but let’s see what we can do to replace the players that left.
No, once the fact that a thousand kids that had scholarships have no home, or a minimum worse one, this whole thing will calm down.
I think the first year or two will be a big shakeout. Lots of kids may not like their landing spot, many may even find they are now paying for college out of their own pockets. Kids will learn it’s not what they think for many of them.
And maybe this is what controls the portal. It sort of self regulates.
Yup. These transfers have to know their value before they enter the portal. For example the Isaiah Johnson kid must have known he would have some decent opportunities elsewhere.
I think there may come to be a significant percentage who give up football--buried on the depth chart at your current school with little prospect of catching on with another program. You go to the coach, and he helps you find a combination of scholarship/grant/loan money to cover your expenses through graduation. This makes more sense than going to the portal, not being offered a slot and going through the whole transfer process (and perhaps losing credits in the process).
Seems a good amount of known FCS transfers are hot commodities on the market whereas known FBS cats are sitting and waiting for offers
Really believe after spring practice, and a lot of players at the factories find out they are still at the bottom, you will see significant movement.
The first year where this transfer option will be available is the biggest, then the following year will probably still be pretty big. After that it'll normalize though and I suspect at a lot less than 35%.
I'm in Hawaii currently and the local fans absolutely despise him. The problem is that UH can't afford to fire him.
Y'all got any of them interior d-linemen?
Can we just want PedStateU to enter the transfer portal and transfer to what should be its permanent dwelling, and I do NOT mean heaven...?

Not everyone leaving school at the end of the year graduates or declares for the NFL draft. For some, it's just time for a change of scenery.
Strange, from history I thought PSU fans were always so grounded and never put winning in front of more important things .
