There’s no such data, yet, but it’s a concern. “That’s part of the maturation process and if folks are going to the portal to avoid that struggle then I don’t know if we’re really doing anybody any favors,” Harlan said.<< >>... There was a huge influx of players interested in transferring after spring ball, unhappy with where they are on the depth chart. “You better have some scholarships available beyond the signing day because there’s some good players in there,” Whittingham said. “We took advantage of that ourselves and so it’s caused you to hold back some scholarships for not only guys in the transfer portal but grad transfers. Recruiting now is literally every day of the year, 365 days a year.”<< [/QUOTE]
