How Many of Our Guys Entering Portal Are Actually Being Processed?

Wonder if they've been told to take their shot elsewhere?

No offense to anyone who has entered so far but you could make a case that all of them could've been told there would be more playing time elsewhere.

I’m sure all but one have been told they might be better off elsewhere. Not ran off but told to explore options if they expect more playing time.

I'd say all except Bech at this point. Maybe even Bech was told your future will be better elsewhere. Right now, I don't think the staff has lost anyone they wanted on next year's roster.

Processed has a negative vibe to it. More likely these players see they are far enough down the depth chart they won't get meaningful playing time and they need an opportunity to start potentially get drafted.

With the lack of depth we have, I doubt it for most positions. Until we fill out the 85, we need more than warm bodies. They are probably looking at offers out there and coming to those conclusions on their own. Especially if they are asking coaches who will give them honest answers.

I have been happy with this slow trickle. We have not see the mass exodus, overaction or sign of masses of players being fed up and wanting out like other programs.
It looks like the staff is communicating intentions and players are being patient in making decisions. That's the best you can hope for.

Even if most of the guys leaving haven't played much and will be deep on the depth chart it still hurts for us to lose depth.

Honesty is part of the culture the CBK is trying to build here. When you’re a back up and you think you are in line, and the parameters for advancement and increased playing time, a lot of players will try to find an easier path. It’s just part of the landscape.

85 spots need to be filled. Not everyone can start. Some of these guys have unreasonable expectations.

Leads to my question: if someone enters the portal but has no takers or places they want to go, are they welcomed back on scholarship? What is the deadline for that decision?

When they took NIL money, they became a professional. This is what happens to professionals who refuse to progress or aren’t good enough.

The question I have is if any of our guys who entered the portal don't find a landing spot will BK welcome them back?

Sorry, but until you have a FULL roster, you don't process anybody.
