I wonder if the players are aware of the statistic that 55% of them that enter the portal don't find another home. I can appreciate how it would be difficult to convince an 18-22 year old kid that the grass might not be greener, but for over 1/2 of them there's no grass at all. Seems like a lot of risk for a low chance of success, I just wonder if that gets talked about.
I'd be very surprised if he has trouble finding another P5 team. It's not going to be Georgia. Maybe not even SEC or B1G but he'll find a home.

Possibly. That would put him in the minority. I think there's a lot more busts than booms in the transfer portal.

Eh he’s like 5’9” and gave up a lot of big plays. We were 4-8. No one is that important.
Even saying all that it would still he a loss. Maybe not a huge loss but something. I'm not sure what nobody is that important means. I'd rather keep the starters around even if it means they are backups.

Not going to find 50+ new starters and backups in the portal/recruiting class that are better than this years starters.

you know how changing companies is the most reliable way to get a significant raise? the transfer portal is exactly the same

we need to accept that this is going to happen ever year going forward, and our NIL people are going to need to be proactive to make sure the players who perform get paid

Negotiation tactic. May want to stay buy might need to put name in the portal to show leaving is a threat. Regardless of what everyone says I hope that's what Hausmann is doing.
