Posted by Triple B,

We're stacking the roster with players, who for the most part, did not do much in the way of contributing to their previous team. We're hoping and praying it's because they weren't given a real chance and all they need to excel is that chance here ..... but it's not a given they will (See MBB, USF).

Well, no. I was thinking more in terms of the kids. It's not college coaches complaining, it's the high school coaches who are trying to do right by their students who are not seeing anywhere near the normal number of college coach visits to their schools. 

As someone else mentioned, 4 and 5 star blue chip recruits aren't going to have an issue, although they may not get offers from the specific schools they want. But, all the other kids who are 1, 2, and 3 star, or no star or whatever. They're going to have a terrible time trying to find schools to play at. Some/many D1 kids will be going to D2 or NAIA schools and D2 or NAIA kids may get relegated to non-scholarship D3 schools. However it breaks down, it's going to mean the supply of incoming high school talent is going to get squeezed by JUCO or university kids hopping from program to program. It doesn't seem like a good idea to me. I know USF is pretty bare and picking from the portal is a good thing. But, it doesn't seem right to the kids coming up.

This isn't the NFL. I don't think free agency in college is a good thing. I guess I'm old school. You play in high school, you get recruited, you get offered, you make a commitment to a school, and you finish your college career at that school. If things go really sideways, you either stick it out, transfer down to FCS or whatever and play right away, or you sit out a year and play next year.

Agree with what you are saying except the bolded part.  Kids have been de-committing or switching on signing day for quite a while now.

Yes the portal is open to fans, I was briefly a Memphis fan at the start of the season, but it wasn’t a good fit, so back to the portal I go, may need to drop down to JUCO and get my mind right.

Kicker Jared Sackett entered the portal this morning. Anyone entering the portal that couldn’t get playing time on a 2-10 team should be good news, more scholarships available for transfers

I'm not a coach, so I'm not seeing it first hand. But, what I'm hearing locally and seeing on Twitter is that as schools lose to the portal they also backfill from the portal. Of course, high school recruiting is still happening, just not like it was even last year or in previous years and offers are coming much later in the process than in the past. We're still relatively early in the process for the c/o 2022 cycle, so it's not the end of the world. I was reading somewhere that something like 1000 more kids hit the portal this season than last. Maybe it'll be a great thing, and if it distributes talent better and gives kids an actual playing experience somewhere rather than a practice and bench riding experience, then that's a great thing. I'm just leery. I do hope it all works out, though, especially in USF's case.

IMO there are X number of scholarships. COVID added a few scholarships, so that number is the only thing that will skew the numbers. When the covid numbers work themselves out there will still be the same number of players on the same number of teams No matter where they come from.

Yeah, I don't like that. Bad coaching/advising/parenting/something. I'd be suspicious of a kid who decommitted. Granted, it's not like trying to get out of a signed NLI, but still. You make a commitment and you stick with it. I do know the real world isn't like that, but it is what it is.

This is supposed to be the most active week of the transfer portal and names from big schools are getting added like crazy this morning. Here's a Clemson LB, wonder if Dabo can put in a good word for us

Sackett is the second USF player to hit the NCAA Transfer Portal in as many days, joining former quarterback Cade Fortin in the portal, who entered on Sunday. They join wide receiver Bryce Miller, quarterback Jarren Williams, running back Leo Parker and defensive lineman Stacy Kirby

Possibly a 2022 Transfer Topic should be maintained so we can see who is in and who is out this off season. Many coaching changes will put some interesting available prospects out there

    "There is no inherent fear among this group of players. The fear of failing drove the program from day one - the fear of failing the coaches, the fan base, the university, each teammate, themselves. Now, as we head into the biggest game in our history at home on a national stage against the highest ranked team to step on OUR field, the players are taking an introspective look at themselves. Unfortunately, I don't know if they get it. They lack the fear."
