[QUOTE="OlegeezEER, post: 131818994, member: 1835316"] The transfer portal is a major concern in my opinion. We had two guys leave after last season that were contributors. One would hope that the portal can be used to fill in the holes. Not sure that its actually the case. It seems like its used to replace the holes just as much as filling them in. I know the conversation has revolved around building depth but players just leave when they can't step in and get playing time in a short time period. We just had a guy leave earlier this week. I know he fell down the depth chart but he was still young. If kids just pack up and leave on a whim then how do we expect to get older and more experienced. I don't think the portal is really beneficial to programs like ours. I think it should be amended based on playing time. If a player wants to transfer but has played a certain amount of plays they should have to sit out a year in my opinion. This would stop teams higher up on the food chain from pillaging from the poor. [/QUOTE]
