Here is the best but not only source for the carnage that is the transfer portal.
Going to see a bunch of Grad Transfers this year for players who are using their covid years. Last year saw fewer Grad Transfers than the year before, and total numbers into the portal. NCAA hasn't changed the roster number maxes and as along as those stay the same, we are going to see a bit larger than usual roster crunch in certain programs who recruited as usual.
*** Transfer Rules***
1. Players have 1 free transfer in their collegiate career
2. Grad Transfers have the ability to depart programs free of penalty as a second transfer under specific conditions.
3. NCAA granted 1 year of extra eligibility for players on NCAA rosters in the Covid Shortened Years.
4. Players can remove themselves from the list w/out penalty.
5. The window for transfer portal is 60 days and will close May 11th. Players can apply to be in the portal after that until the end of July, but it requires NCAA permission to do so. After that date, players can leave programs but their movement to new programs is restricted significantly. After that there is a roster freeze and new additions to active rosters are generally prohibited. Kids can enroll in school at a new institution but require NCAA clearance to become eligible.
*** Thread Rules***
1. Players who submit to the portal will be counted, from teams current 2022-23 Rosters.
2. Targets can be self reported (Twitter/IG) or through entities such as VC (Verbal Commits), Jake Leiberman, or other media sources. Offers have to be confirmed by a legitimate media source, including players confirmed Twitter/IG accounts.
3. Focus is on Transfer Portal Players, moving from NCAA programs to other programs. JC and Prep School kids are tracked through the regular recruiting thread.
