The Portal.

I was listening to ESPNU on the way in this am, and they were talking about the Portal. They said it is really only working for QB's. That there are 1100 players in the portal if you include the walk-ons in the Portal (which seems odd to me), but less than 100 of them have found a new school.

That number could go up once coaches finish up their 2020 class and staff changes are stabilized. But still a lot of kids are likely to not be on their old team in 2020 and not have a new team in 2020 either.

Unless you are a grad transfer though, or a kid with a slam dunk case for a waiver. You are really competing for a spot on the 2021 team after sitting out the year.

Seems like a good idea in theory. Give the kid who wants to leave an above board way to do it and let coaches/teams know they are available. But it seems like most of these kids are overly optimistic about their talent level.
