That’s true. It makes you wonder about development and depth and future starters.

I mean if the buyout is at their discretion it still has to be reasonable. I’d bet with all the bullshit associated with this lawsuit he ends up making quite a bit less at LSU than he would at Washington.

The second one of a school refusing to enter him into the portal is interesting. When this happened last year at Wisconsin the player had signed a 2 year memorandum of understanding because the house settlement hadn’t been reached (so he couldn’t sign a revenue sharing agreement).

From an article last year. The second paragraph is nuts and seems to invalidate the transfer portal window and process entirely.

Lucas's representation claims that after he was denied the right to enter the transfer portal, he unenrolled from the university. At that point, he claims that he connected with Miami and signed with the school. Wisconsin also claims it has evidence that Miami tampered with Lucas before he entered the portal.

"NCAA rules do not prevent a student-athlete from unenrolling from an institution, enrolling at a new institution and competing immediately," the NCAA said in a statement to Yahoo Sports.

So are these recruiting misse? Or what?

No. Casualty of the current system. The teams can't afford to let guys develop anymore when there's a need to pay more guys who actually play. The days of a 4th year guy starting for the first time are probably over.

That first clause makes it sound like the European football transfer market.
