I know it's been said before, and I know that talking about it doesn't change anything, but the transfer portal is absolutely insane and it's a by-product of our instant gratification society. Every kid comes out of high school believing that they are ready for the next level and that they will be an instant star as soon as they step on the field. But the truth is that kids like Ryan Williams, who are able to compete and shine in their first year, are few and far between. The vast majority of kids coming out of high school need time to get their bodies and their minds right in order to produce and shine at the college level. And when you hit the transfer portal immediately after your first year, you are slowing your development and making it more difficult for yourself to learn and grow and develop. The majority of kids need 2-3 years in a program in order to be ready to produce at the college level, but very few are willing to wait and learn. When you join the marines, they don't hand you a rifle, send you to the battlefield and say show us what you can do. You go through Basic Training, then Advanced Training, then MOS training. It's months before the Marine is ready to produce in the field. I just get tired of watching these kids act like spoiled children just because someone told them they were hot stuff in high school. Just because you had 5 stars next to your name on some website, that doesn't mean you are ready to play in college. Anyway, that's my rant and I feel better now that I typed all this out.
