Barret Sallee and Rick Neuheisel on ESPNU pointing out that there are over 1,000 players in the transfer portal, and many will not find a scholarship opportunity at their current level. They pointed out many will wind up dropping down a level or two to get scholarships. When the music stops everyone doesn't have a chair.
They also suggested (I do not think they had a source or data) that the avg age (# years on team) is getting younger. Their theory was that in the first year or two, the players in the portal had a year or two at most eligibility. Now they think that there are players hitting the portal after only a year or two in their program. They pointed to Quinn Ewers exit which was one year wonder. They also suggested that the avg * rating of players in the transfer portal is higher than the players not in the transfer portal. Has anyone seen anything that suggests players now hit this portal faster?
