Message: [QUOTE="UConnJim, post: 3400925, member: 1559"] Actually, if you check the transfer portal, G5 to P5 transfers are not common. What is more common are P5 to G5 (or lower) transfers, P5 to P5 transfers, and G5 to G5 or lower transfers. Here is the current data: P5 to G5 or lower transfers: 76 P5 to P5 transfers: 48 G5 to G5 or lower transfers: 38 G5 to P5 transfers: 14 FCS to P5 transfers: 2 The numbers make sense as the reason most kids transfer is lack of playing time or a coaching change. The D'Eriq King situation is an outlier in which a very good G5 player (potentially) transfers to a P5 school. One other point on transfers. Usually, kids transfer to schools that either recruited them in high school (already have ties) or their hometown is relatively close to the new school. For example, USF is getting Florida kids returning home. QBs can be different as they are looking for an opportunity to start. [/QUOTE]
