🏀 "...how in the world can anyone feel that 1580 players in the transfer portal is great for the game?"

Crumbling just like society.

Georgia's roster is getting hit, HARD.

It’s not good for the game, it’s not good for the teams and quite frankly it’s not good for the overwhelming vast majority of players. The transfer portal along with NIL payments to players will drastically change college sports ... and absolutely not for the better. Once again, politicians and administrators implement something that’s politically correct without thinking about all of the unintended consequences.

Its not really the portal...its the free pass on changing teams....
Make em honor commitment or sit a year...
Most will stay n work it out

I only know about UGA’s basketball team. They’ve had 9 players enter the portal since the end of the season. They only have one starter who didn’t enter the portal ... one! Their top 2020 recruit, second leading scorer and All-SEC Freshman KD Johnson announced his decision to leave yesterday. It’s like a fire sale. So, their coach, Tom Crean is bringing in transfer portal guys to replace them but on paper it looks like a huge drop in talent. Sports talk radio in Atlanta is filled with pup fans saying Tom Crean has to be fired. He says it’s just the new reality in college basketball. He’s right and it will make it impossible for a coach to discipline a player.

When you combine the ability of one and done with the transfer portal and the NIL debacle that’s coming, college basketball in particular is in serious trouble.

Have a friend that is an Indiana fan and he was high on Crean when he first arrived but did not take long for the Indiana fans to realize he is a mediocre coach. If you know what you are doing and the players have confidence in you there is no transfer portal action regarding 9 players leaving. Sorry some kids not getting playing time might happen in a solid program but not 9 players. The response that this is the new reality is laughable.

I hope for all!

This one year of transferring without having to sit out a year is devastating. Hopefully, someone will get some common sense (I know not that common) and put a stop to this insanity.

I have not problem if a student wants to transfer but I do feel you must sit a year.
