50% of the returning roster considering leaving is probably true for every program. Be glad it is not 100%.
To date have we lost anyone who really ended up hurting us? I'll answer my own question, no not yet.
Imagine how bad Rutgers felt losing Spencer.

Never, not even going back to the Calhoun years
Having great coaches helps.
Kids are going to be unhappy with playing time. It is what it is

100% is - for the large majority of these kids that have no future monetizing professionally they ate obligated to squeeze every ounce of their collegiate opportunity.
Entering the portal doesn’t necesarily mean you leave. You can withdraw. Right?
Almost seems crazy that 100% don‘t enter. Seems like its a way to explore your options and determine your value is on the open market. If your school wants you back, and another school will pay more, you use that for a raise.
Isn’t that exactly what Hurley did when he was speaking with the Lakers?

Most times, you enter the portal when you know you are leaving. You don’t have to enter to know your options. That’s the point, these kids already know that.
Exactly. Also, the 50% may exclude those that are out of eligibility / going to the NBA for sure. If this is the case we’re talking about a couple of players.
Possibility of 50% roster turnover number shouldn't be overly surprising based on Dan's rotations and focus on certain players. Body language in huddles during time outs is pretty revealing. Connecting the dots on some players re: Family influences isn't hard to figure out. You're either in or out re: your commitment to the Process.

Isn't that the problem though? Should coaches of other teams be allowed to talk with players on the current team mid season? You aren't allowed to openly communicate with other players under contract in professional sports or else you get hit with a tampering charge ala the Miami Dolphins / Tom Brady situation a few years back.
No one from another coaching staff should be allowed to talk to our kids while they are currently still playing. These are some of the guard rails the NCAA needs to start implementing. Including back channel discussions with parents. Harsher penalties should be enforced if stuff like that comes out.

Absolutely. I think we’re going to see high school recruiting massively improve at mid majors because P5 teams are going to stop wasting time recruiting 4 stars that would need to sit a year or two to be productive. Those kids will be forced to go to a mid major where they can play right away and will then transfer to a P5 team when they’re ready. Rinse and repeat.

I don’t know about all coaches, but most of this in season stuff is done by intermediaries. An assistant talks to an agent who then calls the players inner circle.

The question is moot. There's no repercussions for trying.

Could you imagine managing and enforcing this? You’d need an army.
What needs to happen very quickly is longer term contracts.

That's not going to happen because neither side will want it. Coaches aren't going to want to be stuck with bad players

I don't follow football that much but did anything ever come from Mora's complaint about tampering?
"A simple note to the schools and coaches that have blatantly broken @NCAAFootball rules by tampering with our players in the last 24 hours," Mora wrote Monday on X. "We do know who you are, we will pursue all avenues to hold you accountable. We are excited that we've built a program where coaches have to cheat to beat us and we will protect that program. Think hard before you tamper with our players."
Mora: Other schools tampering with UConn players
In social media posts Monday, two days after winning a bowl game, UConn football coach Jim Mora said he plans to "pursue all avenues" against programs that tamper with Huskies players, warning such teams to "think hard before you tamper with our players."

he didn't mention names and that's exactly what's been happening with replies here. That will not happen until after the season is over.
Every player is a husky until he says he's not.
