No idea how to know if that is true or not, he may have been a preferred walk on with a chance to earn a scholarship?  He wasn't not much a factor, but I hope he finds a new home and succeeds. I don't know anything about him character wise or off the field. I have never read anything bad or good about him other than he was a power 5 transfer.

I’m really not sure.  It seems to be very fluid based on those leaving every day.  Thanks to Chuckles we’ve lost 2 ships.  Have I mentioned how much a despise that guy?

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."

With NCAA one-time transfer legislation adopted, players, coaches and teams will navigate uncertain waters - CBSSports.com

The NCAA Board of Directors must ratify the NCAA Division I Council's legislation later this month

 

If you take away the limit, what’s to stop Bama and other P5 from hoarding all of the players?
