Transfer portal +/- ratio

I see a lot of discussion about teams doing well in the portal. After looking at the 24/7 portal rankings, I think a +/- ratio would be a lot better way of rating teams in the portal.

Many teams who are big on using the portal are just playing musical chairs or even regressing. Similar to Clemson basketball, some teams are marginally improving the roster year over year (Ole Miss from .87 avg -> .90). After a year of disappointment some teams are losing huge numbers only to replace them with 3* players (A&M / Scar).

A lot more goes into roster management than just players in and out of the portal like Seniors, NFL, and recruiting. However, looking at roster improvement through the portal would be a lot better indicator of success and for team like Clemson longer retention might prove to be more valuable and sustainable.

On3 does this. The measure the income transfers in comparison to outgoing to see who is improving their roster and who is simply trying to hang on. Ole Miss is killing in the 247 rankings, but not as dominant once you put their outgoing players against it. Still really good though.

Good to know and a much better way to look at success in the portal. I don’t know that I agree with how they are calculating the outgoing avg p rating with a limited sample set for many outgoing reserve players. However, it does show how few teams are actually making major gains through the portal.

I do think we are already seeing more parity through the portal. Top teams cannot stock pile depth and are an injury away from an average season. Lower tier teams can guarantee starting time for above average players and win recruiting battles with the promise of multiple transfers.

“We too deep” might be a thing of the past for all teams.
