Looks like CJS is making some roster room?

With Gregory and Stewart transferring after not being here even a full calendar year, this is exactly why I do not get excited about transfers. Usually if a player is transferring in, they just aren't good enough or have some issue(s).

With the transfer portal, it is much easier for players to just quit and run, rather than work hard to earn a starting position.

I thought players could only transfer once without sitting out a year. This is ridiculous. Good riddance, we hardly knew you two!

Probably some COVID clause BS.

i agree but i think while you may throw a few fish back, some you keep. it's just a tool for us to use at our disposal but it should be used wisely. it will be interesting to see what the long term stats are for tenure of portal kids vs HS kids.

It's usually not guys on the 2-Deep . . . helps with Grads that transfer. 1 year quick fix.

We need space. Forward and onward. I wish the best to kids who transfer from USF.

There in lies the problem. This article is from April 21, 2021. Here's the problem:  

3. Roster management will be key: Something has to be done about teams especially hard hit by transfers, particularly after spring practice. "That's the one that is catastrophic," veteran coordinator Kevin Steele said. Consider a quarterback losing a position battle at the end of spring practice. He transfers where he can play. Now multiply that over several positions over several teams.

 "Each year, you're allowed 25 scholarships. … Let's say we've signed 23. We finish spring ball and six kids enter the portal. I can only sign two."  That's a net loss of four players. Think about mass transfers if a coach leaves for another job.

There's a thought out there that the limit of 25 signees might be dropped as long as programs adhere to the 85-man scholarship maximum. That leads to speculation of lose one (in the portal), take one (or more from the portal as long as you have no more than 85 total).

"Everyone knows there was never any legitimate rationale for the rule other than a concern about roster management," Mars added. "As much as some head coaches may complain about that, they'll adjust and figure it out. After all, they wouldn't be getting paid millions of dollars a year if these jobs were easy."
