Coach Lundsford liked James’ tweet. I’m sure James is at the top of their list in Statesboro.With Werts being a senior, this should be near the top of his landing spots.

Wasn’t VT after him pretty hard? Wouldn’t surprise me if he wound up there
Absolutely. We might as well create a broad transfer thread because there will be several after this year.I wish him all the best and hope he finds a situation that works for him. He probably isn't the last one to transfer either.

I could see Gleason heading to Toledo. His old HS coach is now the QB coach there and their starting QB is a senior. I'd love for Gleason to stay, but I know it's not necessarily in his best interest as a QB. In that case, I feel like Yates would stay as QB2, but it also wouldn't surprise me if he left. I just think the transfer portal is going to be so stuffed soon that unless you know you've got a guaranteed spot somewhere or you're an established commodity, you ought to wait it out a bit.Agreed. Two more qb transfers wouldn't surprise me in the least.
I have no issue with players transferring easily. Coaches can. regular students can. Choosing a school is not easy for any 18 year old kid so why should we lock in athletes? For most of them, it's their last chance to play so why would we want them to languish on the bench waiting their turn? For every Joe Burrow or Justin Fields you hear of, most of them sort of fade off into the sunset anyways. Even Mills at Nebraska, would we even know who he was/where he was at if he hadn't been here for a cup of coffee?This just reinforces my belief that athletes and coaches should be allowed to transfer 24 hours a day to any program. Why get a grant or a contract if you can so easily move on? Free agent nation.
Good for James, but the system is increasingly broken.

Not a shotHis options will be limited as QB, may have to play at a lower level program.

Pro athletes are free to negotiate the terms of their contracts, and can request a trade or to be released at anytime. The team doesn’t always comply with their wishes, but the player still holds the power over the team simply because the player is the product and has the leverage of refusing to play.Coaches and regular students don't receive grants.
It is what it is. But it's destroying college sports. One of the big advantages of pro sports is that players play for a team for 4, 8, 12 years. There is almost no loyalty in college sports these days regardless of whether you are a player, a coach, or ...even ... a donor. It's an industry.
