Last year just under 40% of players who entered the portal did not have a spot on a roster by the next semester...sooner or later people are going to realize it's not a fix-all thing.

With that being said McDonald committed to MTSU a month ago.
Miles ended up at EMU

I'd imagine Monrrow similarly heads to a MAC school (NIU or Ball State). Jarmon is going to struggle to find a spot for a lot of different reasons, and Bales isn't going to end up in FBS.

Thanks, I guess 247 needs to get up to date. Bales is strong on KO but accuracy is an issue.

I think 247 is still very slow to update on the non-Powerish teams, many of the MAC schools have next to no information tied on there.

The portal is also a way for schools to peel off guys who end up not being D1 talent or are not wired for being in school.

I bet a lot of the guys who enter the portal who don't find a home to play sports don't look very hard. They have to enter them portal if they just want to transfer to a small school to be just a student.

Now, there are a few easy steps to the process:

1) The athlete tells his/her compliance office that he/she wants to transfer.

2) The compliance office has two business days to digitally register that athlete in the portal.

3) Coaches can see who is in the portal, but it is not public information.

4) Athletes can withdraw from the portal; it’s then up to the school to decide whether to take that athlete back and restore his/her scholarship.

Also, once the athlete enters the portal, he or she can decide whether to include personal contact information so that interested schools can reach out. Some opt to not include that information; on plenty of occasions, the transferring athlete already has an idea about potential destinations and prefers not to essentially open up a recruiting process to everyone.
