Message: [QUOTE="champs99and04, post: 5307883, member: 488"] It could be a byproduct of longer-term deals becoming more prevalent now that we've officially entered the rev share era. I think Texas Tech agreed with a 2026 5-star OT on a 3 year deal worth around $5 million the other day. UConn obviously won't be paying that much, but if there's a 2 or 3 star kid you think might give you the production of a 4 or 5 star, you'd be wise to sign him to a multi-year deal. Otherwise the big boys will swoop in and take him as soon as he breaks out. Mora's correct that it's become a lot more like the NFL in that regard - you have your rookie contract and then they get to hit the open market. In other words, the transfer portal will still be a significant part of the game, but maybe less so now that everyone's not a free agent every year. [/QUOTE]
