Iowa quarterback Joey Labas has entered his name into the NCAA Transfer Portal, per reports from On3 Sports.

Labas just finished his sophomore season with the Hawkeyes after joining the program as a four-star recruit in 2021.
If he could not crack the staring lineup at Iowa, chances are that he is a bust.

I feel like I am seeing that in a lot of transfer situations.

Chase Wolf... might have been useful in Madison this season. He's still in the portal.

Nebraska quarterback Jeff Sims is expected to enter the transfer portal, per a report by 247Sports' Chris Hummer.

Sims’ time at Nebraska ends after a trying season between the lines, bogged down by turnovers and an injury against Colorado in the second game of the season. While he did pop back in a key moment again against Maryland, turnover troubles again loomed. He didn't regain the form many hoped he’d show when he transferred to Nebraska last season from Georgia Tech.

The 6-foot-4, 220-pound junior played in five games with two starts for the Huskers this season, going 28-of-47 through the air for 282 yards and one touchdown. Sims also added 42 rushes for 189 yards with one touchdown. He worked hard in the offseason, doing mental exercises at night to learn all the names on Nebraska's massive roster. And his practice and leadership efforts impressed enough that teammates voted him a single-digit jersey recipient heading into the 2023 season.

 A few weeks ago, a few husker fans and I were hanging out, watching some games and talked about this situation.   How to determine if a guy on the bench is a bust or just behind a great player and they'd be good on most teams.   I ended up with the conclusion that looking at kids in non-P5 (even FCS) schools that make plays and stand out was the best approach for places that have $$$ to spend, but not on Texas, Bama or OSU's level.   Sucks for those schools who developed the kids, but his is modern CF.

Florida's best pass-rusher and best offensive player enter the portal.
Cool.

Committed yesterday. Decommitted today.

This is so f'd up.
And now committed again.


These last 48 hours have been a whirlwind.  After thinking long and hard about my future, it became clear to me what was really important. I’ve had great discussions with my coaches and family.. There’s not a better fit for me and my future than in Madison, Wisconsin! I’m shutting down my recruitment & will not take any more visits. I’m a Badger! On, Wisconsin.

Never know probably,but with crap Capt Kirk forced on his team with Brian at the helm. I'm not certain that was in the best interests of the kids who committed to play there. And some guys named Johnny Unitas and Kurt Warner kicked around a little before getting their gigs

Blows but as entropy stated this is modern CFB.Coaches were able to pack and portal for yrs,it should be a one time arrangement then the player sits IMO

Ags are struggling during this coaching change, losing a ton to the portal already.  And now THIS:

I refuse to follow the portal or our part in it.  I resigned myself months ago to the fact there's going to be kids whose names I learned that I'll wonder where they are, and kids who I've never heard of and don't know where they came from who may be on the field.  I barely still have the energy to keep up with our high-school signees....and really, why bother?  A chunk of them will probably portal out in a year or two. 

Yeah, I think I'm definitely starting to enter DGAF territory.  Can't tell if it's because of the state of the game or if I'm just turning into an old fart and it would've happened anyway. 

I surmise from the titles and thumbnails of suggested videos from YouTube that the Aggies are losing a lot of players to the portal.  Guess that's not surprising.  Why YouTube thinks I care about that, I have no idea.  I keep X'ing them off which should teach the algorithm that I don't care and to stop showing me stuff like that, but the algorithms wander about where they will, for reasons we know not.

Is the amount of activity the Buckeyes are seeing in the portal normal? I'm hearing both sides from my family and friends. A few buddies are on the edge freaking out about the amount of guys that have entered the portal and I have some on the other side saying it's completely normal.

Secondly, does entering the portal guarantee someone is leaving or can players put their feelers out there and then return to the team? Are they actually accepted back if that happens? Man I hate this system.
