It's just odd timing. 1 Quote Link to comment
MinnwiscowaSker Posted April 26, 2022 Share Posted April 26, 2022 Interesting since her brother was just here visiting. I'd rather get him than keep NPG. Quote Link to comment

knapplc Posted April 27, 2022 Share Posted April 27, 2022 I believe the portal is a fair option for players. If coaches can just bail on a school and go coach somewhere else, players should be able to, too. But the grass is not always greener for these players. And the portal is being overused right now. And this is the reality they're going to face. Without the ability to lock up another school before entering the portal, these players are just hoping for something good to happen. NCAA: Only 54% of FBS players who entered portal enrolled at new school In 2020, there were 587 undergrad students who entered the portal and enrolled at a new school, whereas there were 950 in 2021. That sharp increase has continued to rise in the 2021-2022 year, and the numbers are expected to be even higher than the two previous years. In the research the NCAA conducted, it shows that only 59% of scholarship FBS football players who entered their name in the transfer portal transferred to another school and received a scholarship at the next destination. Among those scholarship players who entered the portal, 33% (834) still remain active and 8% transferred without athletic aid. FBS football saw the most student-athletes enter the transfer portal (2,538) of any sport, but men's basketball had the highest percentage of student-athletes in the portal with 31% (1,692) of its athletes entering in the year 2021. FBS saw 16% of its athletes enter the portal, while women's basketball had 22% (1,134) enter during the 12-month period. The NCAA analyzed data for all of the sports under its jurisdiction and found that only 30% (9,101) of Division I athletes who entered the portal across all sports transferred and received athletic aid at their new school, and 47% (14,293) of all entrants remain active.

BIG ERN Posted April 27, 2022 Share Posted April 27, 2022 Be interesting to see where we put Mathis IF we get him. Chins says. he wants to be 3-4 mainly with the nickel package like we saw last year. If that is the case then Nelson needs to be moved back to DE with Tannor and Mathis at OLB. Quote Link to comment
