Yep! That’s y the grass is not always greener on the other side.
This right here. We only hear about the top names in the portal not the Kai herberts and mark popes.Well if your a ****** player and you go in the portal chances are noone Is gonna claim you when they can get a better player.so if you haven't put in hard work to get on the field or not as skilled as others and have any doubt you get picked up don't portal and you won't get stuck especially if your at a decent school where you can at least get a good degree.
These kids need to re-evaluate and adjust to their current situation. It's tough. I hate to see them lose out on their education...Yep! That’s y the grass is not always greener on the other side.
Lot of these kids were THE MAN in HS and they just yearn for that recruiting process to be had again.....but that's not realistic. Hard work is the only way you get on the field, not because you were the cream of the crop in HS...lot of these kids don't necessarily "peak" in HS, they just don't want success bad enough to work hard for it....came natural to them in HS and they expect it to be the same way in college and once it isn't, they're ready to move on.....And of course, the NCAA will get blamed for this somehow. People will say there should be more regulations on jumping in the portal to protect these kids from their own bad decisions. That number of kids still hanging around in the portal is crazy. Common sense should tell these kids that unless they are elite level talents, make sure you have a guaranteed destination before you jump ship.

Great points......we should also have a survey of those who are in the portal who are on track to earn a degree at their former school, and jumped off the track to never earn a College degree, because of the portal.Thank u; I think we forget that aspect of things. Fact is, most scholarship players r not going to make the NFL. Only 224 players are drafted, w/ another handful making it via UDFA. That’s a very small % considering how many scholarship athletes there r.
Having a degree is another gateway to a career. I’m not sure when ppl started devaluing a free education worth 10’s of thousands, if not 6 figures at some schools, but here we r, & a lot of bad advice have ruined two different opportunities that’s been afforded. I wish I had a free education vs paying out of pocket & high interest (Thank God I was able to pay those bytches off though.)

Agreed for many, it is a last ditch effort to play football in College, but if not selected, how many go on and get a degree and step out in the real world?
Very few if any....it's a **** shame.......just curious....
Both those guys found new teamsThis right here. We only hear about the top names in the portal not the Kai herberts and mark popes.
We are getting to the point that kids who commit out of High School are committing for one year. They know they can always jump in the portal if things don't go according to plan.I think the first rule they need to bring back (and I know I will get alot of pushback) is you have to sit out a year before playing. That will slow alot of this down some. Unless you apply for a waiver and its a plausible reason why you are transferring, you can go but you have to sit out. That is one way to make alot of these kids think twice before transferring. You better really not like where you are because you are wasting a year if you go.
Alot of these kids have the mindset that if they dont like a school..they can always transfer the next season somewhere else. Gotta get rid of that loophole.
