The NCAA gave kids at the age where they still have the need for immediate gratification the ability to leave with no penalty. I'm not against the portal but not surprised by this either.
It’s easy on that side. No disrespect intended, but these kids get lied to from jump. There’s a difference between an opportunity and accepting a scholarship on false pretenses. It’s always been one sided. It’s not anymore. I’m sure you’ve counted on others to help you make a decision. Sometimes kids do the same.Poor counsel. Nobody respects or appreciates an opportunity.
Yeah and it’s why I think it was premature to start talking about how to “fix” the portal alreadyYep! That’s y the grass is not always greener on the other side.
oh it goes both ways.It’s easy on that side. No disrespect intended, but these kids get lied to from jump. There’s a difference between an opportunity and accepting a scholarship on false pretenses. It’s always been one sided. It’s not anymore. I’m sure you’ve counted on others to help you make a decision. Sometimes kids do the same.
The majority of kids enter the portal & get lost in that *****.
Payton is playing with Jarren WilliamsFormer Miami players still in Portal:
Nesta since 1/7
Kai-Leon Herbert since 9/21
Payton since 9/24
Holley since 7/21
Former Miami Players who transferred last season and their destinations:
Gaynor to UNC
Hall to Utah State
Pope to Deion Sanders 7x7 camp
Jennings to Indiana
Wiggins to Louisville
I'm a little surprised no one FCS team picked up Herbert, Payton and Holley. If a guy like Tommy Kennedy can be all-league at Butler, then surely there's a home for these boys.
It’s on the players or their parents to make sure they making level headed decisions I’d rather they have the freedom to choose vs how it was before when coaches were allowed to basically dictate if and where players could transfer
