Adam Miller in the portal, even though he is Illinois second best returning player. Power 5 schools can now absolutely not afford to recruit guys who cannot contribute as major players as freshmen. The plan now kind of has to be recruit four and five-star kids, and fill out 80% of your roster with transfers. Because any kid who comes in, and isn't an immediate star, is gone.
I'm not being overly dramatic when I say college sports are dying to me. They are giving away so many concessions that are killing it, to avoid letting the players get paid. I would rather let the players get every dime they can get, to maintain the one year redshirt policy for transfers. They assume the fans are on board no matter what, I guess
