Also the extra year a lot of college players got has created a log jam too. I agree though it has in a way helped the FCS and lower to get better players.

Absolutely it is.  College coaches are looking for players already physically developed and who have been playing and practicing against other college players.  

That said, it has helped the lower levels of college competition.  They are getting better players than they were before the transfer portal was a thing.  Junior college baseball in Tennessee, in particular, has seen benefits from it.

I am good with the portal, I just think there needs to be more rules.  Someone proposed just letting each school have 5 players frome the portal per year, then atlhletes could only use the portal one time.  This would eliminate a player having to much power over being coachable.

Tried to argue this point to someone the other day on here. Totally agree.

Obviously it's not affecting the 4 and 5 star types.  They are still being recruited heavily and signing.  

What we aren't seeing are the 3 stars and below type prospects getting the kinds of offers that they once were.  That's where the big programs are opting for transfers who have proved themselves capable of playing at a high level.  The mid majors are benefitting from those kids, getting more athletic kids than they have been.  And obviously it is filtering down to D2, NAIA, and jucos.  

Don't really think it is affecting NCAA D3 schools that much, because most of the kids who are recruited and end up at those schools are high academic types who are still going to D3 schools.  

Once the extra Covid year eligibles end, and when the transfer portal is more regulate things should begin to readjust just a bit.  But as long as the portal is still a thing, it's going to affect high school recruits to some degree.

Was about to say the same thing in regards to the COVID year. IMO, that's been a bigger factor than the portal. Transfer Portal is ideal if you need a quick fix at a position, but you can't sustain a program that way

Agree in theory, but the transfer portal will still be a major recruiting field for P5 programs.  Many of them are holding back 3-5 scholarships from signing day to see who ends up in the portal who can potentially step in and be immediate help.  Those are 3-5 scholarships that high school prospect aren't going to get.

Very true in full agreement. But when the pressure to win is as high as it is in P5, your gonna take the sure thing.

      Who vandalized Maryville's Football Field?

      OK, well, that’s because two quarterbacks can’t start. That’s football 101. The main quarterback won the starting job, so he was on varsity, and the Seymour transfer did not win the starting job. He played some varsity. He was mainly junior varsity, and he balled out when healthy, so for the starting quarterback who’s been starting varsity since his freshman year, if you have any form of proof that he’s gotten worse, somehow, whether that means stats or whatnot, please feel free to share.

      They’ve both gotten worse. I’ve seen enough games to know that.

      The only two transfers that Bearden has gotten that went on to play college football were a defensive back from Karnes, who transferred here way before the new coaching staff got here, and a running back from Carter, who went on to play at Maryville College. Both players received those offers while at Bearden, and both players got a diploma from Bearden High School. Therefore, they are Bearden kids, and you can’t do anything about that.   The transfer from Seymour didn’t win the job, what do you expect two quarterbacks to start at the same time? He played great on JV when he could stay healthy, and when he came in on varsity, he did great. The quarterback position is definitely going to be in good hands when the current starting quarterback leaves, but until then, they’re just going to be battling it out like every good quarterback competition does. The current starting quarterback has his flaws, and that is in the pass game, but what he doesn’t have flaws is running and scrambling, and if you go back and watch any game, which I’m sure you didn’t watch any, we used him very often, and when we needed a deep ball, we brought in the transfer from Seymour. The starting quarterback last year will be a senior this year, and the Seymour transfer will be a junior, so the Seymour transfer is definitely going to get his spotlight. He may even win the job this year. Football isn’t about who the newspaper thinks is the best kid. The best kid in the position will win the starting job, and I trust the coaching staff more than a newspaper or article to pick my starting QB.

      I mean, we’ve only gotten two transfers that went on to play college football, one who went to UT Martin came his second semester junior year before the new coaching staff was here, and the other one went on to play at Maryville College, in which I don’t believe he had any interest prior to transferring.
