This is something I’ve believed for a couple of years now, so it’s encouraging to see a guy like Dan Mullen come out and say it.
From our Florida site:
“If you look last year, there were more people in the transfer portal than there were scholarships available, and that’s not including our incoming freshmen that we already signed. So these guys are going into the portal and it’s actually hurting a lot of people. Is there a way to count numbers, as far as recruiting restrictions, different for transfers? A 1-for-1. If I have a guy leave Florida and go in the transfer portal, I can sign a guy out of the transfer portal. Scholarships are all equal. Opportunities are met for different opportunities for kids that are out there. Instead of, we signed 25 in this year’s recruiting class and we don’t have any spots available. We had three kids leave for the transfer portal, but we can’t replace them because I’ve already filled my signee number for the year. So I think there’s some balance of things that we’re going to have to get to moving forward into the future.”
