Message: [QUOTE="nelsonmuntz, post: 4292264, member: 833"] The Portal is going to get less deep every season until the final Covid classes are gone. All of these players using their extra year of eligibility and the one-time free transfer rule being passed at the same time created a lot of transfer portal opportunities. Within a couple of years, I think the Portal will be deeper than historical transfer pools, but nothing like last year or this year when coaches could put together an entire roster of experienced transfers (see Providence, Marquette, and to a lesser extent, Creighton). Going forward, I think you will see a bunch of freshmen and some sophomores hitting the portal, but there will not be that many more upperclassmen then there was in the pre-Portal days. There will be a few experienced mid-major players looking to upgrade, but without the movement in front of them at the P5 programs, I don't think as many experienced mid-major players will want to jump to sit on the bench. That means that any coach that missed last year or this year in the Portal missed a one-time opportunity to dramatically improve their team. [/QUOTE]
