This is not speculation - just posting twitter feeds and/or anything reported by mainstream media.
This is the new normal. Unfortunately, there will be more kids in the portal than available FBS scholarships.
UConn finished the season on Saturday and kids entered the portal after the season is over. You will see kids from other schools enter the portal after their seasons are over, which may be after a bowl or the playoff.
Once you enter the portal, it doesn't mean that you have to transfer, but most likely you are. Also, it means that the school doesn't have to honor your scholarship anymore or provide support to you.
Just to put everything in perspective, here are the current portal kids from some other schools:
Akron 8
Rutgers 8
Ole Miss 7
UMass 7
Arizona St. 6
Miami 6
Michigan St. 6
Ball St. 5
Florida 5
South Carolina 5
UConn 5
Arizona 4
Arkansas 4
Florida St. 4
Maryland 4
Oklahoma 4
Oregon St. 4
VT 4
West Virginia 4

Too early to say. Got to get some distance on these events...and to wait for all the news to come in.Not good. Why are all our offensive linemen leaving? Something was going on this past season.
