Thread: Transfer Portal?

  1. #1

    Transfer Portal?

    Montana just had a player (Jesse Owens) enter the transfer portal & speculation is that he may be a walk-on in basketball at the other FCS school in Montana. Question does he really need to enter the transfer portal to be a walk-on in a different sport? Personally I don't get any player switching to a different sport, just seems logical to make that decision in High School. So do any other teams have anyone entering the Transfer Portal?

    Northern Iowa WR Jaylin Rima. He played three seasons at UNI (and is grandson of the UNI play-by-play announcer for UNI football and men's basketball for many years, Gary Rima). Announced it early in the season.

    Jacob Keller a back up Qb at Uni entered the transfer portal. I hear Jacob looking to transfer and playing college hoops is a big consideration. He had a couple of d 1 offers for basketball back in high school although he was vocal about wanting to play college football so his basketball recruitment was lite.

    VMI: Liam Kauthen, starting ILB. This has Keydet fans shaking their heads. Could have been All SoCon next Fall.....(actually, he mentioned this to Coach Wach right before the Army game, so Coach said "good luck, turn in your gear". He didn't dress or play VMI's last 2 games).

    I think its pretty reasonable to have a change of heart on which collegiate sport you'd like to play especially for a 17-21 yo kid/young adult.

    Typical of you. Some of us believe you live up to the commitments that you make.
    This is something you would never understand though.

    The only commitment a football team makes is a 1 year scholarship

    Good question...I don't know. Can you play 4 years in one sport, then transfer to another school (or stay in the same school for that matter) and play for more years in another sport? I guess people that want to put off working in the real world, or are going for a PHd or something could do this. Nothing preventing doing multiple sports at the same school (except coaches, season overlap, etc) in the same years. Then in this case going to another school to play a different sport, not sure why they would need the transfer portal.

    Yep. Let's hold a 18-22 y/o kid to a higher standard than an institution of higher learning or the coaches that recruit them.
