2025 Transfer Portal

Question: Do we think the portal will be insane this year? Or will it finally mellow out since almost all of the Covid 5th years are out of eligibility?

Still insane, but just on a lower floor of the asylum.

Instead of a 5th Covid year, we'll be dealing with the graduating JUCO players being granted one more year. That will probably have a larger effect on football than any other sport, but it will probably slightly inflate the transfer market in most other sports.

Looks like Purdue is going to lose at least 2 to the portal and 1 incoming recruit.
All the Reynolds sisters will be going elsewhere according to the guy who's followed the program forever.

The departures leave the Boilermakers with eight players for next season but additions from the transfer portal are expected

I'll look at this with an eye on the Reynolds . They -- and close friends/other players - on Washington H.S. in South Bend have been a unit since Steve Reynolds took over as head coach. He's done an admirable job with the program, with his daughters playing a large part in the personnel area.

As their dad and presumed chief advisor, he first sent his first two daughters to Maryland, then Purdue (the youngest, Kira was supposed to join next season but that won't happen.). Where's next? Will they stay together as a group or try things on their own?
If the former, they're like taller versions of the Hayes sisters, who eventually ended up at Marshall and had their best years under current Tennessee coach Kim Caldwell.

Older sisters Kim and Amiyah have never really broken out, due to injuries and inconsistent playing time. Or, have they reached their ceiling in P5?

In any case, their dad/guiding light Steve Reynolds will be along for the ride, having just resigned from Washington HS.

I don't think so. There are about three, maybe five, ACC players who would lead me to rethink that stance if they hopped into the portal and landed elsewhere. That number is about the same for the SEC.

Boom! There's the one everybody was waiting for. Let the bidding begin.

My guess is UCONN or USC
