Transfer Portal Thread

[1972Shocker]

I'm sorry if this has been covered but how does this crap work now? If a kid is in the portal do they sign any kind of letter of intent similar to how they would have out of high school? If not, what's to keep them from switching again? And they have to be in the portal by May 1, but when do they have to make a decision? I guess before school starts?

I don't think anyone is required to sign an LOI, whether or not in the portal. They can, of course, give a non-binding verbal commitment. But essentially any player can stay a free agent until the start of the semester. Once they enroll they are committed. But I may be missing something.

I think that's true. Enrollment is the official item that means they have to get a waiver to player elsewhere (like McFarlane had to last year). LOI is just between the school and the kid. It's not required and also while technically the school would have to grant a release ... a school would likely get crucified if they didnt' .. so it's basically pointless.

An LOI also is an agreement that the school is giving the kid a scholarship, It gives both parties some certainty that an enrollment/scholarship is forthcoming.

There is nothing interesting about this player. The 3 "top" guards for NMSt combined for 7.5 assists per game and 6.0 TO pg and he was the 5th guard in minutes played.

I guess Daryl Banks is still available.

He's a midwestern kid, was a 3 star in HS

College basketball has turned into a big joke.
