It's like a game of musical chairs right now. When the music stops (scholarships all gone), a LOT of portal kids will be homeless. Count on it. I don’t understand the logic. If 1400 scholarship players transfer there are 1400 scholarships to replace. You're assuming the 1400 open scholarships will only be filled by other D-1 transfers. HS, prep, D-2, D-3, Juco kids are all looking for those 1400 available scholarships. With the no sit rule, it's a free for all at all levels right now.

And guys who would have graduated this year but were granted an extra year by NCAA.

Last year with 1025 reported transferring in Verbal Commits about 70 kids or about 6.5% didn't find a home. (Many others went to JUCO, but that might have been their plan anyway.) I bet that percentage practically doubles this year and many HS kids waiting for a late signing will be left with nothing too. On the plus side all those who do land a spot will not be eligible to transfer again without sitting out. About 75% of those transferring are Juniors, Sophomores and Freshmen. So the pool of potential "immediate play" transfers will be reduced and likely fewer will choose that option. I hope this levels out to a more manageable number next year. If it doesn't more and more kids will be left to pay for their college or not be able to go at all.

Thats why IF Carm uses our last 2 scholarships, we'll have 14 players playing for free since Hopkins has elected to return despite graduating.

So future year's HS players and transfers will have it even harder because many will opt to stay on the extra year and I believe those will be counted toward the 13 limit, thus limiting the open slots.

Sounds like Pickett to Penn State is a done deal.

Didnt know Illinois lost both Frazier and Miller. Two huge losses in their backcourt. I can see why they'd want Pickett. I’m thinking he’ll stay closer to home. Watch Penn St orBC as potential landing spots. Personally, I’d like to see him at Virginia, his defense would fit right in there Huh ...

Penn St is no surprise with Talor Battle helping on his recruitment.
