It says something that Bru McCoy going from Texas to USC to Tennessee is considered normal today.
Nearly 2,000 scholarship players have entered the portal in the past year.
I feel like not enough gets mentioned about all the players who enter the portal and can’t find an interested team.
There are still USC players from last season, like Dorian Hewett, Juliano Falaniko and Ishmael Sopsher, who have not hooked up with teams. Safety Chase Williams was recently in that same boat until he committed to San Jose State.
The portal can be good but it can also be risky for some.
Former Mission Viejo QB Joey Yellen just left Pitt after starting at Arizona State. He started against USC two years ago. What’s his next move? I’m sure he will find a third school. It’s a hard way to exist but it’s normal these days.
If a player enters the portal and does not get picked up elsewhere, is the current/former school required to take him back on scholarship? Or can the school say you took your chances in the open market and we don’t want you back (assuming they don’t want him back)?

I hate to repeat myself, but I still wish there were a Nation’s Leader portal and we could talk Dementia Joe into entering it.
I realize the good ol’ USA is the only country with enough stupid people to actually want him. But as Costanza said about the possibility of his fiancee crashing in a plane even though it was a million to one shot, “It’s something. It’s hope!”

When Pete Carroll had a stacked roster during his hay days at USC, he and Steve Sarkisian would criticize players who wanted to transfer for a chance to start at a lesser program. They would indicate that the players were scared to compete even though they had no chance of earning a starting position. So I think it’s a good thing that the transfer portal is in place, because selfish coaches can’t ruin a players college experience.
