re: Transfer portal players without a home.

Putting a limit on times you can transfer will cut that number in half

Should be a maximum of 2 imo

I always wonder how many D1. players just washed out each year before the portal and we just didn’t track it.

85 scholarships and most teams taking 25 HS kids anyway.

The players looking for a better business deal are typically not the ones left without a home. They are looking because they’ve performed well enough to increase their stock. Someone will pay them.
The players stuck…that you have no sympathy for…are kids that get processed away from their original program and lose their scholarship.

Unfortunately, it cuts both ways.

My guess is "sleepy" is a child in his underwear, living at home, and someone else pays his bills.

Disagree on the amount of transfers. If I’m getting pushed out I should be able to explore as many opportunities to continue my career as possible. There should be no limit as long as someone wants me

Alot of them will go to smaller schools or programs.

I agree I would love for CFB to have stayed the same but it’s done..too bad

The processed LSU guys will generally find schools. But the trickle down effect means processed ULM or New Mexico State kids will have much more difficulty finding a place to play.

It’s a bit interesting, though - now that we don’t have annual signing limits, there’s nothing stopping teams from taking as many players as they want in order to get up to their normal scholarship numbers.

So assuming that we do actually end up with ~1,000 players without homes, that means one of two things. Either:
A) Schools are using fewer scholarships than they were using in the pre-portal days, or
B) That’s 1,000 more scholarships being handed out to high school athletes.

Something else to consider is that some number of kids in the portal are players who have been dismissed from their team for whatever reason - generally due to off-field issues of some sort. In the past, these players just disappeared and you never heard from them again. Nowadays they almost all wind up “in the portal” even if there’s no realistic hope of them signing elsewhere.

I have no idea how many players for that bill; probably nowhere near 1,000. But it’s not zero either.

This will be a free market.
Schools will portal out players to make room on the roster, while some players will move out for better oppertunities.

Bc like stated above in another post. Alot of these kids are being processed and forced out of there programs. The ones that hunt for better deals year in and year out i totally agree. But at this point and time can you blame a kid? You pay a hs kid X about and I'm getting half of that. Pay me or I'm looking g elsewhere is the mentality of this kids and there families
