Not speaking specifically to UAB or any particular player but I suspect academics are a big reason for a fair amount in the portal. Even “grad” transfers. Lots of them dragging out their collegiate eligibility, would be pretty easy to blow off academics this past fall taking classes just to play, and then find yourself in trouble in December if you wanted to stick around for one more year. Guessing a good many of those sitting in portal without offers have some academic work to do in spring.

I am aware that this is an issue with some of our players who hit the portal. The problem is, you have to clear up your academics where you are before you are in position to transfer, but when you enter the portal you cut off all of your athletic scholarship benefits that help you get things straightened out. So now you are stuck in limbo, without a team. And I suspect this kind of thing is happening at other schools as well, so that a lot of kids are making decisions without thinking it through.
