I’m curious why he didn’t stay. I assume OU could afford him but maybe not
The level of QBs entering the portal kind of supports why Kohl staying this year is best for him. His clearest path to starting at a P4 right now (or in the near future) is at ISU
Huh? I just don't understand how telling them "hey, I've spent two years sitting on the bench is better than I spent one year sitting on the bench".
That's like saying Florida State isn't good enough to be ahead of Alabama in the final rankings but somehow deciding they can be ahead of Georgia in the final rankings. The only way he improves his stock by staying is with in injury and that would suck.
There are going to be a number of kids next year in the portal. And the year after. And the year after. Many of them former highly rated recruits. That's NEVER gonna change.
Yes, there are a lot of former highly rated guys in the portal, you are 100% correct. But that's not changing. Someone who didn't play next year whose school recruited a new QB or signed one in the portal is going to hit the portal and there's going to just as many as this year.
If he wants to stay, that's awesome. But the idea that next year somehow is going to be better for him after another year of not playing when there will be another large number of guys going into the portal who played and or were at one time also highly rated - that's just not the reality.
Until the transfer portal is changed, there is going to be a large number of people in it every single year.
