What’s yalls thoughts on long term effects of transfer portal?
Having a son in his junior year, the whole recruiting process has somewhat turned me off of football, but it’s something he wants and as a parent, I will do my best to help him.
In his current state, 16 yo, he’s a D2, maybe a lower tier P5 player. He’s had every instate school reach out to him, quite of a few out of state d2/3 schools. No offers yet bc d2/3 wait til the 11th hour of senior year.
Unless you’re Johnny 5 star, with connections, you don’t get attention.
Coaches are recruiting the portal, period. We’ve had all level coaches tell us this.
Back to the long term effect of the sport…
How many talented kids that should be getting looks at any level, are not gonna get that chance bc of the portal and hang up their cleats? I truly think the numbers will be significant in 5+ years if things continue down this path. I’ve had coaches and recruiting coaches telll me the same.
Throw in the roster turnovers that are happening as well makes it even worse.
Rant over. With the portal opening up and seeing all these names drop is unfortunate imo.
