Portal Out

[mun_RaginCajuns]

Before the portal did you ever have a way to look at schools with mass exodus? No, you didn’t, but it happened...and not all of those kids will end up on teams...their coach just finished her first season, how many new players did Deggs have this year? Glasco after first season Napier?

Maybe not but it was definitely covered in the softball world when big teams like the Cajuns & Oregon had a mass exodus after the coaching changes. The portal makes it 10x easier for a kid to transfer & makes it to where a coach/school has a hard time dragging their feet allowing a kid to transfer. The portal does allow a more public view yes but it also has increased the number-both things can be true.

It’s just a way for you to follow it, it’s always happened

Kids transfered but not at this rate. It the new Entitlement.

The difference is a coach didn't have to release you. You had to sit out for one season. With the new rule, it allow any athlete to transfer out one time without sitting out.

Has any of the Cajuns that are in the portal find a home yet?

The portal includes all the kids who just aren’t good enough, the kids that normally just go away never to be heard if again...they put their name in the portal bc why not?

This is the new eligibility rule - has nothing to do with the portal.

Don’t you know that JMV is always right?

No.

"always happened" is an oversimplification.

Half a team leaving would be national sports news "in the past"

Stretch of a point ... portal usage rates have everything to do with the new eligibility rules.

They go hand and hand. With the new eligibility rules the portal has exploded. Hopefully nobody would say or think otherwise.

Before the portal listed their names, how many kids were willing to transfer each year? Give me the number
