Message: [QUOTE="Rowdy831, post: 4629855, member: 12516"] I am okay with the use of the portal if it is a new coach who lost wholesale players when they came on board or in very extenuating circumstances. But when a team like SC or ND or UCONN who really gets the pick of the talent to begin with uses it I think it undermines the program in the long run. If UCONN hadn't gotten Dorka (and this isn't a slight on her) then UCONN would have had to get her minutes from another player already on the roster who they would have to develop. In my opinion they had options that could have handled that responsibility and would now be in a position that they could help the team next year. Would they have the same record? Probably not but the only way the portal gets out of control is if the big schools participate in it and they have been. I agree with many posters that eventually it will be such a negative for the sport that interest will begin to fade and only the sponsors will be paying to fill seats. [/QUOTE]
