Coaches leaving are a HUGE reason kids leave for another school/opportinity; why would that be a wild theory?
BC has had success w transfer portal but also has one of the top recruiting classes year in, year out.
If you have the top recruiting classes you wouldn’t need the portal. That’s why the transfers this year were able to come in and take starting positions no competition.
The portal has changed the way coaches stock their rosters tremendously. Great recruiting classes don’t always work out and competitive teams will use the portal to their advantage. If a coach can recruit and fill positions through the portal why not? Ultimately, though, the top teams will reap the benefits and further polarize the competitive nature of the sport.
