Alabama and Oregon also have 18-20 in the portal. Last year Ole Miss added like 17, many of which were starters or key contributors to the 2022 team.
It's just the new reality and will be like this every season. HS recruiting is not the be-all end-all now, management of portal exits and entrants will become just as important if not more important.
It is CFB free agency, and I'm sure the coaches hate it and it makes there life exponentially more difficult.
ND starts 0-2, switches QB and new QB goes 8-2 as the starter and has now entered the xfer portal... WTH?!? If you are transferring I assume you want to keep playing.... is there a better position than being the starting QB for Notre Dame.
We don't have to like it or even learn it, but we do have to live with it and understand it going forward.
Right now it is portal exit season, portal add/entry starts with the "early" signing period I think.
Insert old man yelling at cloud here....
