Transfer Portal Tracker

I'm happy athletes have more rights these days and they're no longer 'trapped' at their original school by the old NCAA rules which required all transfers to sit out a year (and in some cases lose a year of eligibility), and permitted their coaches to decide which schools they could not transfer to.

However, the portal also reinforces the inability of so many athletes who cannot handle delayed gratification and who have a 'play me now or I'm outta here' attitude.

As they say, anyone can start something. The hard part is finishing something. The ability to work through adversity is one the most valuable lessons young adults can learn.

That said, it's complicated and I do believe there are many legitimate reasons and athlete is better served by changing schools.
The problem is the portal becoming open and being able to transfer as much as you want, basically came at the same time that the NIL did.

Which has made it a mess.

The NIL works ok, and the portal works ok, when not put in use together. What it has created is schools that develop players just end up developing them for those that can pay more. Meaning it is much more difficult for those development programs to gain on the high end programs.


Too many are illegally using the NIL and Portal together to recruit talent. People can say it is illegal all they want, it still is happening and I have seen nowhere that they are doing anything about it.

NCAA is scared of the portal and NIL now, and are too afraid to try to regulate it now.

I think both are fine, just need some regulation and rules enforced. I really think that players should get 1 free transfer, another free as a grad transfer, then unless there is other circumstances must sit out for a certain amount to transfer again. Somewhat merging the old rules with the new.

I think there should be some kind of limits put on NIL, similar to salary caps etc. So places like Texas cant use it as a recruiting tool, if you put a limit on it that everyone can handle, the players get paid, and everyone is on even ground. I know this is probably touchy legally, but there needs to be something in place to make it more fair. Not only for schools but also for players. At some point they are still supposed to be amateurs. The NIL It seems would be harder to regulate than the portal. So if you regulate the portal it would make the NIL more fair.
 
Outside of Lazard, our hit rate especially with 4 star WR’s is not great.
Hit rate with 4 stars in general is bad.


To go down the list
Kohl-Not fair to judge yet

Gaines- did nothing and is now gone

Deyo- Did nothing and is now at bowling green.

Imming- still hasn’t cracked the two deeps.

Tyler Moore- buried on the depth chart still

Dekkers- Done

Pedersen- in year 3 in the program and has yet to record a tackle.

Hall- Dub

Brock- Disappointing end but I don’t think he was an nfl back.

Blake Peterson- Never did anything and transferred to a lower level.

Lastly, Joseph Scates- Never broke through and is still at Memphis. About 1,000 receiving for his career.


So aside from Kohl and Hall, hit rate is atrocious.
 
Money should go towards the receiving schools NIL.
School / Collective.

Whoever is the beneficiary.

Schools have multiple collectives, so not sure how any of that would work out.

If they were signed with an existing collective then that collective would get $.

However it plays out…
make them owe some of that cash back, because money would be the driving force of a transfer.
 
I think the release process should go something like this.

Athlete tells the school they're leaving. School grants the release but you can't transfer in conference or any FBS on the schedule in the next 2 years.

School suggests you look elsewhere they can go wherever they want.
That’s essentially a non-compete clause, which would only exist if they had a contract with the school. Until they’re actually employees with contracts that isn’t going to work.

Had a coach tell me once the grass is greener where you water it. IE, put the work in

We see this is club softball. Girls leave looking for something better to find out they had it good where they started. I bet it works out better for 1 in 10 girls, 4 of the 10 quit the sport soon after and the last 4 go from team to team never finding a fit. Same goes for any sport, i would imagine. Some kids need a change of teams, most need to look at themself or family.
 
In a sense. Many forms.

If a player wants to leave because of any reason, of course. So be it. Good luck.

But if you leave and make a Dollar from NIL then you owe some of that cash to your initial school.
Lol. They should give up the cash, and a pony, and a red rider bb gun, and give back rubs to everyone on the coaching staff, and any other wishes the school might ordinarily save up for their next genie/leprechaun encounter.

No school is going to seek even a cent of the money a kid earns from a NIL deal. For one, they don't have any kind of legal claim to it. And for two, the PR would be terrible, if they did. Other schools would roast them for it, on the recruiting trail.

not sure how far you wanna go back but sedrick johnson was the prize recruit that the chiz stole out from under A$M. I think he started his junior season and was serviceable, then left the team after that. one more (mostly) miss.
 
When you take a chance on a guy with questionable character like Young and he skates you don't even consider bringing him back.
as far as I know he kept his nose clean throughout his collegiate career and also graduated.

Depends what source you use, I know Rocco was a 4 in some rankings.
 
Dang, we heard great things about him as a true freshman and then saw a whole lotta nothing.
If there's one position group i'm not worried about it is WR. There are tons of guys ready soon in Kai Black, Beni Ngoyi, and all the guys who played this year.

I view Greg Gaines as probably a good enough guy, but it may be a cold dose of reality that he finds a power 5 list of suiters for him could be a pretty short list. I mean he did zero here.

For Sanders I think he is a case of a little pissy he doesn't get the lions share of carries, and Sama is flat out better than him, in every facet.

For Norton I think it's actually a great move for him, he could crush it in the Sun Belt, mountain west, or Mac. He's not a big 12 starter RB to me. It makes total sense.

How about Grant Treiber?

This is only 3 years old.

You will see changes soon. Maybe not in this sense, but changes will come.

It’s the Wild West now.

And I’m not suggesting a school would go after the money. That would be absurd.

I’m suggesting it would be be across the board as part of the Transfer Portal/NIL.

Money makes the world go ‘round.
