22-23 Transfer Portal and General Recruiting Catch-All Thread

That explains 'how', I was wondering more about 'why'.

Is #1 good?
Even better is that being #1 has made us possibly the most talked about program in the nation this off-season. Any kids who are paying attention to recruiting can't help but to keep hearing about CU and Prime. Should have a big impact on upcoming years as well.

We no longer fall in the "other schools" category.
 
Is there real smoke here? Can he get out of his NLI and still be eligible next year? When could he "sign" with another school and make it official, regardless of where he ends up?

Seems to be smoke. Lots of competition if he gets released from his NLI. I think he gets stuck having to transfer and lose the 2023 season if they don't release him.
 
Yes, but can they transfer immediately after signing NLI? Assuming they don't let him out of it.
If they let him out of the NLI and he has not registered or attended classes yet my understanding is that he could be eligible immediately. It would be similar to a kid who signs and is released because he isn't admitted. This also would not count as his free transfer since you can't transfer from a school you never attended.

If they refuse to let him out of it then it becomes much more complicated as it does if he officially attended classes.
 
I still don’t understand NLI. I feel like I’ve seen kids and coaches bail on that thing all the time.
It’s a really bad contract for the kid as It binds them to the school but not the other way around. There’s really no need for the blue chip kids to sign it at all as they will have a spot. The middling players need it to secure a spot

Unless a school releases a prospective student athlete from a signed NLI, the student athlete cannot be given athletics related aid or participate in athletics at another institution for 1 year. The schools obligation is to provide aid for a period of 1 to 4 years depending on the terms of the NLI. So if a school wanted to, they could prevent a signee from playing anywhere else, except for at a juco.
 
Not that it really matters in the world of college football recruiting, but not letting a kid out of his NLI in a situation like this will increase the cannon fodder against Miami
 
Sorry if already posted, but, this kid seems pretty, pretty, pretty, interesting!


Weird. Not one profile on any of the recruiting sites, but seemingly most fan sites have a thread about him. He claims DPOY of his 1A classification with 101 tackles 10 sacks and 3 DTD. I assume he’s been overlooked because of the small school and his size in which they have him playing DL at 6’0” 225? His hudl clips look like he’s a wrecking ball. Maybe a PWO candidate.

Homer, LA?
 
I like that 247 currently ranks Colorado as the #1 transfer class in the nation.
