Message: [QUOTE="huskymedic, post: 3238418, member: 549"] Good article for those who haven’t really paid attention to the non-football side of the portal: [URL='https://d1baseball.com/stories/going-inside-the-ncaas-transfer-portal/']D1Baseball: Going Inside The NCAA’s Transfer Portal[/URL] >>As one prominent coach said, it’s no longer like the old days when you picked up a phone and called a contact about a potential transfer. These days, it’s all an open book, thanks to the NCAA’s Transfer Portal, which has plenty of admirers but also its vocal detractors. The NCAA Transfer Portal, at least for Division I Baseball, includes 1,088 names with Louisville departing graduate transfer Austin Dickey being the latest addition to a growing list of college baseball players looking for a new home.<< >>On one hand, the Transfer Portal has been a major plus for some players and coaches. For those players with need-based aid or who simply are walk-ons with no athletic aid, it’s an easy and immediate way to be seen by other coaches should they choose to transfer. [I][U]Defending national champion Vanderbilt, for instance, has two players — Austin Becker and Justin Willis — who transferred out after the season and will be immediately eligible at Texas Tech and Connecticut, respectively[/U][/I]. On the other, some coaches have issues with the Transfer Portal. Though they admittedly find it fascinating, they’re not excited about other schools, certainly not conference foes, having easy and instant access of their transfers, especially those not on athletic aid who can freely move about the country without sitting out, per the newest transfer rules.<< [/QUOTE]
