LSU coach Lane Kiffin recently spoke about wanting a second transfer portal window at the end of spring, but received some pushback from college football analyst David Pollack.

The second window would allow coaches to fill any final roster holes after spring practice, but Pollack isn't a fan of the idea.
quote:

“Here’s the thing, man, I get it, and Lane’s the Portal King regardless, and his budget was unlimited this year... But no, nobody wants this," explained Pollack. "Lane does, and maybe some coaches do. But do we want this madness? How would that work? They can go pillage other rosters, but nobody else can replenish their rosters? That doesn’t make sense to me. I don’t want any part of that."

“Lane, love you bud, but I’m not on board with that,” Pollack continued. “I want one transfer portal window. I could be talked into May. But I don’t want this, because the moment we open this box, the moment we get more and more confusing, more and more stuff like lawsuits, and more things that can go haywire. And we want less haywire, we want more consistency, we want more guys staying in the same spot.”
Here's what Kiffin had to say about a second portal window after spring practice wrapped up last week.
quote:

“I’ve been very open about that, I wish there was another one,” Kiffin said. “I’ve talked to other coaches about that, and coaches that have been somewhere 2-3 years feel differently because they like that they have their whole roster."

"But in your first year, yeah, I don’t think many coaches would say that, but if they were honest, they’d probably say they wished there was a second one.”

I agree with Pollack. A Spring window is unnecessary. Just opens the door for more tampering and overpaying. Texas Tech would literally be in position to take someone's starting QB right now. December and January is more than enough time to build a solid roster.

What if somebody in after spring realizes they need a TE and they through Billionaire booster money at somebody like Green. How would you feel about the after spring portal then.

If this happened this season, he would end Ole Piss' career cause TC would transfer. ??

I think you could do a second portal window but I would like to see some rules like this in place.

1. Open to first time transfers only.
2. Only have 2 years of eligibility left.

I feel like Spring is getting prepared with the team you know for regular season. Then bang after spring portal hits and now you do not have the team you practiced in spring with.

The only condition that would be appropriate is players that have 1 year of eligibility.

If you really wanted to transfer, you would have done it in the spring. If you wait until after spring, it's because you either found out you weren't good enough to start or someone offered more money. Tough titty, work harder.
