2020 Transfer Portal Thread

[ELA]

all true, but the Hawkeyes are picking up an Olineman from transfer

wouldn't have to turn over the roster, but if you could add 3 or 4 starters per side

Yeah, but to totally rely on that for trench play, I don't think is sustainable.

[FearlessF]

probably not, but if you got one starter a season it could help

I assume Bill Synder had maybe one starter per season if that from the JUCOs

Agreed. You can absolutely go plug a hole here and there, but to consistently rely on transfers would need to be limited to smaller position rooms where recruiting misses are most painful.

For example, even trend laggard Ferentz has been relying on grad transfer punters for years. The two years he didn't land one, 2017-2018, Iowa was sub-100 nationally in punting.

The landscape of college football has been shifting over the last couple of years, and a proposed change by the Big Ten would continue that shift. The conference is looking to give more freedom to athletes who want to transfer.

Currently, undergraduate transfers aren’t always granted immediate eligibility when they transfer to a new school. The Big Ten is proposing a policy that would allow all its student-athletes a one-time transfer in which they would be granted immediate eligibility, according to a report from CBS Sports. Currently, athletes in 20 NCAA sports are allowed a one-time transfer. Football, men’s and women’s basketball, ice hockey, and baseball are the only sports that don’t allow that.

Michigan athletic director Warde Manuel believes it’s unfair to the athletes in those five sports that they don’t have the same level of freedom as their peers. Manuel wants to make sure that each player has at least one opportunity to change schools without any issues.

Awesome. 

Wisconsin and Iowa can develop kids for 3 years, and OSU and Michigan can come get them when they are ready to play.

Indiana backup RB Ronnie Walker in the portal.  He was a 4* recruit out of HS who chose IU over MSU and Virginia, but he got passed by fellow true freshman Stevie Scott, and never really became a factor.  Still, MSU so thin at the position, I'd give him a shot.

[MrNubbz]

Hopefully they do some guys develop a little later

NC State OG Joshua Fedd-Jackson enters the transfer portal.  PFF rated him as one of the best run blockers in the nation.  He's a NJ kid, who IIRC originally was favored to go to Michigan.  OL is probably the one area on offense UM could use some immediate impact players this year.  Might be worth noting.

[FearlessF]

90% of the P5 programs could use a stud on the OL this coming season

Yes, but few of them are top 10-15 teams who at one point were leading in your recruitment

[FearlessF]

hopefully, Coach Frost and UNL are in the discussion!!!

Redshirt freshman wide receiver Darien Chase has entered his name in the NCAA transfer portal.

A Nebraska team spokesperson confirmed the new to HuskerOnline on Friday.

Chase saw action in four games as a true freshman, playing a total of 52 offensive snaps according to PFF College. He had one catch for 13 yards in 2019.

Chase was also recruited by former Husker offensive coordinator Troy Walters, who was replaced this off-season by Matt Lubick.

The 6-foot-1, 200 pound Chase becomes the eighth player to leave the Huskers for the transfer portal since the 2019 season ended. Chase is also the first member of Nebraska's 2019 recruiting class to leave the program.

Are these guys who would see little PT and are therefore just clearing space for better players when they leave?

[FearlessF]

not sure, that is what I feel is the case, but the Huskers haven't been able to develop much WR talent lately

Stanley Morgan, JD Spielman, and not much else since before Frost got here
