Transfer Portal: Who's Coming and Going (2022 Roster)

[forensicbuzz]

Some threads go off topic and that’s ok. We try to keep the recruiting threads about recruits. Let’s keep the transfer thread about transfers.

Today is April 23rd. It’s been mentioned before that to play in the Fall, transfers have to find their new home by May 1st. That’s just over a week. That’s not much more time for this game of musical chairs; the tune will stop and people need a seat.

There should be a lot of news in the next 8 days.

I think they only need to be in the portal by May 1. I could be wrong.

Yep, you’re right—it’s just entering the portal by May 1. So there’s not as much pressure as I thought. The musical chairs will play on longer. I’d guess the only real pressure is the loss of a scholarship from the original school. I do think spaces will fill up—there are more players than scholarships.

The no-tampering language is clear, and it’s clearly ignored.

Q1: What criteria does the student-athlete need to meet in order to utilize the new Division I one-time exception to seek immediate transfer eligibility?
A1: In order to meet the criteria of the one-time transfer exception, the student-athlete must:
» Transfer from a four-year collegiate institution to an NCAA Division I school;
» Leave their current four-year school academically eligible;
» Have not transferred previously from another four-year institution, and
» Certify in writing, along with their new head coach, they did not have direct or indirect communication with the new school’s athletics staff prior to entering the NCAA Transfer Portal.
Additionally, a student-athlete must provide their current school with a written request to enter the NCAA Transfer by May 1 if they participate in a fall or winter sport, or July 1 if they participate in a spring sport to use the one-time exception. Other rules (e.g., disciplinary suspension at the previous school, transferable credits accepted by your new school, sport specific midyear transfer rules) may also factor into the campus compliance administrator’s certification of transfer eligibility.

jared ivey was yucking it up with kiffin immediately after entering the portal. no way there wasn’t contact before

You can talk to other coaches before you enter the portal as long as 1) you contact them first, they can’t reach out to you 2) you don’t specifically talk about transferring. Lots of these guys have relationships with other coaches from highschool and camps, or they just reach out to connect with them for whatever reason. You don’t have to go radio silent for 4 years.

As mentioned the importance of May 1st is it is simply the day where players have to enter the portal by to be able to play in the fall.
So who you have on your roster on May 1st you know should be there.

Players who are still in the portal can continue to be recruited by schools and pick schools all the way up to the start of fall semester.

There is expected to be a significant number of players hit the portal this week.

Good article on how coaches are looking forward to May 1st as at least they have a good sense then of who is on the team for next season.

This is incredible. College football is changing very rapidly.

Michael Mincey, LB, Vanderbilt, 6'1", 230 ish, in the portal. Played 8 games last year, mostly special teams. He cannot transfer to another SEC school and play immediately as the SEC requires athletes to enter the portal by end of January to receive immediate eligibility. Might be someone for the radar. Originally a Ware County guy.

Andre Turrentine, CB/S, OSU, was an original offer by GT in 2019 out of the Nashville area. Highly rated, but buried at OSU. Our secondary has had a good bit of turnover. Might that continue?

Oklahoma State? Oregon State? Ohio State? Or some other OSU?

wonder if this will hold up as the covid year wears off. a ton of 4th, 5th and 6th year guys clogging rosters

Shocking to hear it's that high...seems you need to have a landing pad before you enter...no wait that not within the rules...the morphing of the system continues.

 

[g0lftime]

There is no institutional control in college FB . It is the wild west now. Not sure where it winds up but so far not pretty for schools like Tech.

 

[LargeFO]

It isn't gonna be pretty for Tech.

I think if I were a student athlete right now, I'd want to be pretty darn sure of a controlled landing, NCAA contact rules be damned. Otherwise, I'm not unassing the current flight. But then again, my impetuous youth is behind me....

 

[Techwood Relict]

Nerd rules, pretty is relative.

I wonder how many of those quit school, which is the real shame.

An even worse shame is that many or most weren't interested in school in the first place.
