Re: 2025 Recruit/Commitment Thread
Unlimited transfers is new, and the NIL collectives are becoming unreal. I am obviously not a football guy, but I expect the numbers to change dramatically over the next few years where freshmen are going to have less and less impact on future seasons. Already for most college players, the freshman year is just to bulk up, get faster, and learn the playbook. Especially true for the non-skill* positions. Already seeing it now in basketball where coaches take transfers from mid-majors over promising freshmen. Right Tommy?
Why spend years developing players, and just when they are getting ready to make an impact they bail to a better offer?
*-hate that term. Obviously they are all very skilled.
What about transfers?
Transfers are not included in the main Blue-Chip Ratio calculation. There are a few reasons for this.
Through four years of heavy transfer portal activity, national titles are not being won primarily through the portal. Michigan did have several in 2023, but most of the team was developed out of high school. Georgia did not take a single scholarship transfer in 2022 and had little reliance on it in 2021. The best teams recruit high school very well and then look to fill holes or upgrade in spots via the portal. Teams loading up on transfers are frequently coaches looking for a jumpstart to a new tenure, or, on the other end, looking for a fix to save their jobs.
Not always, though.
But with each passing year, transfers are becoming more ubiquitous within the sport of college football thanks to the removal of the year-in-residence requirement, immediate eligibility and now unlimited transfers. There were more than 2,000 scholarship transfers this offseason alone.

So his choice was between us, the Scummies, and the not-Wildcats?
Good choice young man!

Of the 12 coaches, Rush picked the one whose fans have the deepest passion, the longest memories, the greatest lung capacity and … did I mention deep passion?
