Are Portal Players worth more?

[TRick72]

Good points by you.

It got me to thinking that---

Because the transfer rules make it easy for high school signees to move on if they blossom, and make it hard for portal players to move on a 2nd time...

... I'd rather get a guy (like, for example, Shemar) now than to have gotten him originally.

if he ends up crappy, nil on him would not be renewed. if he ends up a stud, we have little fear he, for example, would bolt due to the onerus transfer rules requiring him to sit a year if he wants to transfer that 2nd time.

Not sure I understand why you wouldn’t have to renew an NIL on Shemar now as opposed to as if he was a HS recruit. NIL isn’t pay for play whether you’re a HS or portal player. The only difference in this scenario is that you save a year in the front end. A HS recruit who blows up will save you a NIL year in the back end.
