Transfer Portal

[ZippyDoo]

Ncaa announced today plans to eliminate 2 transfer portals and to only have one that is open for ten days. the potential dates are Jan 2- Jan 12. that's it. it is official to one transfer portal  but the window date has not been confirmed yet. it is reported that this is something coaches have pushed for and most likely will pass.  

 

that will be crazy. players will have to decide if they are leaving before the playoffs are finished and the national championship. 

 

i think last year i read 3,000 players from FBS and FCS entered the portal in the winter and spring windows

 

coaches will have ten days to fill empty positions which should make teams desperate.

Players and teams can still sign after the portal closes. Players just have a 10 day window to submit their names.

Thanks I did not realize that.  I thought everything had to happen within 10 days.  So player X puts his name in the portal in that window and can sign whenever?

 

I think it will still be interesting because coaches will know very early who they are losing and can start planning on replacing them.  Once a player puts his name in, they are out right? For example if Ohio State is in the championship and a player enters the portal, they are off the team right?

They can always put their name in and then withdraw it. We saw that with Tavari this past spring. I wouldn't be surprised if we see at least 1 player from a P4 playoff team do that each year. Treating the portal more as hold out in order to secure himself a bag by keeping the team hostage since they no longer have the option of doing it in the spring.

Thats what happened with Pribula from Penn State last year.  Walked away before it ended.

 

I know the schools can take them back if they want but I also know that after Summers entered and didn't like his options, Akron said he could come back but only as a walk on.
