Transfer Portal affecting JUCOs

. . . with a RS, it’s may be three years . . .

Good point.

Schools are afraid to redshirt now because some think it will result in an automatic transfer but now a slightly more mature athlete who transfers in will still have his RS year available.

A JC player can transfer to a 4 year institution after 1 year if they were academically eligible to attend a 4 year college out of high school. No need for redshirt or degree from the JC. This is what CMD is after. Plus there is less of an academic risk to UL.

You want to have team chemistry, and time to get your priorities in line. You can’t do that with wholesale changes every year.

Adding a JUCO here and there with less than 3 years is hardly "wholesale changes".

. . . with football, physics is usually more important than chemistry . . .
