Portal

I don't even think that number is high at all, with all things considered. There were what, 17 HC changes in the P4? That's a pool of 340 starters with broken relationships with the team in the P4. Then the portal is used by agents in NIL negotiations by "testing free agency", whether or not they are really leaving. I'm guessing also that more players are using it to try to find a landing spot after losing a starting position than chasing big bucks.

Keep in mind it isn't open yet. And there could still be thousands that just haven't announced yet

Even so, that doesn't mean that thousands will transfer. Last season about one thousand did not transfer after entering the portal. I expect a lot of poaching from the G5 and non P2 programs.

Im not sure how it works for other schools. And I would imagine it could be a school by school decision. But I can say for ND. As soon as you declare to transfer all of your advantages stop. Such as access to the trainers, team activities, scholarship, stipend, etc. You are basically a normal full time student paying your own way without an athletic program. That can get expensive quick.
 
Portal appears to be where it's at and high school recruiting is out. That and player evaluation.

HS recruiting will still play a big part. If for no other reason. They are cheaper than most players out of the portal.

It will work for schools that can afford to pay players to develop, and can then afford to keep them once they’re coveted by everyone else.

If you have a limited NIL budget, you can’t be a farm system for the big boys. Better to raid rosters.
