Of course the speculation on Twitter is that it was Riley, but who knows.

They also had these "Go Gomer" seat cushions back then. Seemed like everybody had those. People used to joke about those having a different meaning than what was intended.

This article has almost the exact wording of CW's letter when he entered the portal. They aren't even trying.
See, Panther fans? Nothing to see here. He’s coming back.

BREAKING: #USC redshirt junior edge rusher/OLB Eli'jah Winston is in the NCAA Transfer Portal.

Winston had 10 total tackles in his career appearing in 13 games with 1 start.

Could be a case of win some/ lose some on portals, but it feels like (cough) the ol' ball coach not prioritizing defense...

We've had two defensive guys hit the portal in the last week, but I think we are prioritizing defense.

Not really. It just means a shuffling of the scholarships. In the end, it means fewer spots at the elite programs who attract the best portal talent, but a scholarship opens at the school which they transfer from.

I can't imagine what it'd be like to be a cfb coach now days.
You befriend a high school kid. Recruit him, schmooze him, visit him in his home, schmooze his parents, have him visit campus, get him to sign, and once you have him in a dorm and on the roster you'd like to think that you could depend on him being there but you can't. Once he's in your locker room you have to continue to recruit him for the next three or four years. On top of that, you have to continue to recruit new players and scour the portal because that guy you spent three or four years recruiting out of high school jumped ship for more NIL money so now you have to replace him post haste.
That's tiring.

I see people that support this don't want to give (posts after your initial one)...here's the scenario. How does a coach give a scholarship to a HS player when the signing period passes before one of their recruits enters the portal? Secondly, as "marketing" dollars are redirected to players instead of going into athletic dept coffers, the AD makes less money.
You deniers just keep burying your heads. This is a way bigger deal than you want to admit.

It appears the 25 per year initial scholarship offer cap will be completely removed, leaving just the 85 total scholarship limit. That'll help things out, especially for teams that end up having to use the portal a bunch. Overall you can still sign the same number of high school players and use the portal based upon how many players you end up losing to the portal maintaining the overall 85 scholarship limit.
Everything ends up balancing out in the end. For a team that may want to reserve more spots for portal players, that opens up scholarship spots at the places those players are portaling out of.

I think it will be the other way around. The big schools get all the very high rated players out of HS and the smaller schools get the ones that could't earn playing time after a couple of years. A coach trying to rebuild a down program could lean heavily on the portal as a jump start. Almost like the way Snyder rebooted KState by redshirting an entire class in order to field and experienced team.
The way I see it, the Blue Blood schools will continue to get the cream of the crop. Occasionally there will be a stand-out player from a smaller school that will transfer up to a Blue Blood school, for example, that receiver that just transferred from Pitt to USC.
But there will be bench warmers at the Blue Bloods that won't have the patience to wait for their turn. They'll want immediate playing time, so they'll transfer from a Blue Blood to a smaller school.
Blue Blood depth will suffer, and smaller schools will get better, therefore, making the playing field more level, so to speak. But the Blue Bloods will continue to dominate.If you are yet to be SECtarded, you aren't trying hard enough. Slykology.
Never go full Sparktard.

Assuming the easy transfer rule remains, it will lift the quality of play across the board. Some good, but not elite, players will play at lessor schools vs sitting the bench at the elites. The casualties will be the displaced players now being backups at smaller schools resulting in more talent on the field and less on the bench, but the total numbers remain the same. This has always been the case, but the effect was more limited by the 1 year sit rule. I don't see this as a huge difference as the elites will still dominate by a wide margin.Last edited by Velo Sooner; 05-05-2022, 07:21 AM.

But the transfer process needs definite windows when transfers can occur . And some rules to attempt to hold poaching down to a dull roar.
Right now, coaches try to build their team in spring ball, only to see key pieces hit the portal. Every sports league has some point when rosters are pretty much set and they can't lose key players, unless they agree to trade key players.
I'm a believer that football needs some continuity. Its not like basketball where five players can learn to play with each other quickly and rosters can undergo complete changeover every year.
