Look Who's Transferring Now (The Portal)

HS kids will have to learn that unless you’re game changing you aren’t making shit and you’d better stay put for years 1-2. Years 3-5 is where all the money is going.

As was pointed out. If these kids don’t adjust they’re going to end up out of football by the age of 20. I wonder what long term impact this will have on kids.
I think like most things in life, it depends on the family dynamic and socioeconomic standing of the kid. And unfortunately many of these poor urban and rural kids, sports is the way out for many of them. Without it, many would be back at the local factory, construction site, some type of dead end job and hopefully not ending up on illegal means. For many family’s sad to say, this kid is the hope for them to have some type of family financial success. A lot of pressure for a teenager.

But I agree that a number of kids would’ve been better off staying at their first school.

They’re certainly going to have to adjust. Unless you’re a can’t miss kids really need to consider going to either a big time school to wait it out or even to a lower level to play right away.

Maybe if a four star kid went to Ohio University they’d play and do well? Then year two there’s likely a bunch of interested programs
