What’s the NCAA transfer portal window like? ‘Insanity’
We asked a couple coaches about this wild, pivotal stretch of roster management.
This is the new college football:
"Bielema said the three years (2018-20) he spent on NFL staffs helped him adjust his approach to roster management. He wants the Illini to build through college football’s version of the draft (high school recruiting) while adding spot players through the portal (free agency) to fill specific needs."
High school kids will need to be smarter about playing the "how many offers can I rack up game" and college players better think twice before jumping into the portal and winding in a worse situation --- and no degree opportunity.
Golesh's assistant pool makes a lot more sense under this new approach and investing $$$ and resources to a "personnel dept" will be critically important...especially for programs like us.
