4 more days for a Portal WR. Tell me the good news.

[lindend]

Interesting. I was under the impression that the portal was over and done with as far as new names entering. Thanks for tidbit.

I could be wrong, but my understanding was you can enter after May 1, but if you want to play this year, it will require a waiver.

There could be another bullet left in the chamber before we close this thread.

Hopefully it is not a bullet to our head.

You are correct. I just thought we would have seen everything by now.

If its a grad transfer they can still enter and play immediately. All others would have to sit out the year unless they are granted a special waiver.

Definitely interesting…I thought we had waved the white flag on the portal receiver too

Lot of college graduations around the country right now. Degree in hand, might want to look around.

Grad transfers shouldn’t need to sit out I think.

Grad transfers shouldn’t need one I think.

They dont. I was specifically referring to portal guys though.

There's a lot of confusion around this topic as it relates to graduate transfers. If you guys have sources for that information, please share because what I have seen very strongly indicates the opposite (i.e., that graduate transfers still need to comply with the May 1 notice requirement or otherwise get a waiver to be immediately eligible to play):

"Postgraduate Transfer Eligibility
Q11: What criteria does a student-athlete who has graduated with their baccalaureate degree need to meet to be eligible as postgraduate student at another Division I school?
A11: A student-athlete who graduates with remaining athletics eligibility may be eligible as a full-time postgraduate student at another Division I school provided they meet the one-time exception criteria, including providing a written request to enter the NCAA Transfer Portal to their current school by May 1 if they participate in a fall or winter sport, or July 1 if they participate in a spring sport."

So it seems like they still need a waiver, but hopefully for graduate transfers it's as close to automatic as possible. They definitely gave them out last year to guys who were in the portal way after May 1, like Jordan Rhodes at Ole Miss.

OK I tried Google and all I could find was stuff on his dad. Anyone have a link to a site with his specifics? Thanks for helping a computer-challenged old fart.

He was a typical low star s.fla wr that got lost in the mix playing at a doormat program at South Plantation that went to Temple.

He likely was a cane fan....but likely wasnt on our board at all. He developed in College.

Robbie is a WR for the Panthers. He's just finishing school at UM

Daaaaaayyyyum. He's paying private school tuition rates? Impressive. Must be getting a huge paycheck from Carolina...

Noooooottttttt...necessarily...

I tried to tell people, the roster will be set by mid-August.

I always thought grad transfers didn’t have to sit out. I can’t remember when we had grad transfers enter the portal though so this was more an assumption on my part.

In today's landscape, a guy like Robby Anderson is likely a 4-star recruit, especially since he'd most likely have elite verified speed times due to the camp landscape.

To pull it all together...

The grad-transfer waiver has historically been the easiest of all "immediate playing time" waivers to get. You just demonstrate that the grad program at the new school was unavailable at the old school, and you are in like Flynn.

That was definitely the pre-portal rule, but it seems like the NCAA changed it with the transfer portal. I think they were giving the "late" grad transfers waivers last year, though.
