[QUOTE="WVUALLEN, post: 131750826, member: 1112294"] The portal is the death of sports. Just like free agency ruined pro sports. How big of a percentage make it to a better team or no team at all. 2019 Case Study recently: Biggest majority end up division 2 or 3 even juco with no scholarship. There were a good number of players who entered their name into the transfer portal in 2019 and did not end up at another college. These players weren’t just guys who were at the bottom of the totem pole coming out of high school either. From just the power five schools there are still, to this day, 63 players who are not committed to a current football team. Nine of those are from the Big 12, 14 from the Big 10, 22 from the PAC-12, 13 from the SEC and five from the ACC. Of the 63 players, 40 were ranked as 3-star athletes coming out of high school. There were also four players who were ranked as 4-stars who entered their name into the portal in 2019 and have yet to commit to another team. The transfer portal can be a great opportunity for players to finally earn playing time or get closer to home, but it can also be detrimental to a career. You don't build a good foundation with transfers. You use those players to fill needs on the team. [/QUOTE]
