There's one program in the PSAC that will offer like 9 point guards in the same day. Whomever signs first gets the spot. That's tacky to me. It's not setting up a player-coach relationship. I know it's much harder to recruit for some schools than others.
I think the reason D2 sees so many mid-major transfers is these kids get sold a bill of goods. So many want to just Tweet they play D1 -- even if that 'D1' team wouldn't even be a Top 25 D2 team.
The one thing the transfer portal explosion is doing is it's keeping the rich teams rich. The strongest programs never need a whole class in basketball. They need to plug a hole here and there.
IUP or West Liberty needs a small forward? Go buy one. Here's a full ride and you'll win 25+ games. Or, you can take a half ride (or less) and go join the other 9 incoming transfers at XYZ State.
But, yes, the downside is there isn't room for everybody. There's only so much money. Some tough conversations are going to be held in the coming weeks.
I know inside the KCAC they may be making some cuts here soon. Joe needs to beef up a little bit this off-season. But, he needs some salary cap room to do it.
