I reckon we ought to find this dadgum transfer portal and blow it to smithereens. Rescue Feaster and Shaq to safety, then destroy the portal wherever it is. No more portal for heaven's sake

The transfers portal would die a slow death if all coaches ran their program like Coach Swinney, he doesn’t take transfers. If this gets out of hand the coaches will only have themselves to blame.
If Feaster ends up at U5Sjr, and that appears to be where he is headed, in my mind he will no longer be a Tiger and will always be a coot.

I’m not arguing the sentiment of disdain for the transfer portal, however, for the record Dabo does in fact take transfers but does not take JUCO players.

I can’t think of a transfer Dabo has taken. Examples?

He was a walk-on transfer not on scholarship, that’s a lot different than actively recruiting players in the transfer portal the same as you do high school players. To date Coach Swinney hasn’t taken a scholarship transfer, nor has he actively recruited a player in the transfer portal. If you didn’t know Coach Swinney promises all high school recruits that they don’t have to worry about players from outside the program coming in and taking their position, and I don’t see Coach Swinney changing his philosophy. Now you can technically say he takes transfers, but in 11 seasons he’s taken two both walk-on QB’s, one from Stanford, the other from Miss. State, neither had any chance of starting, they were simply scout team players.

We can add Kellen Jones to the list from Oklahoma. My point is Dabo does take transfers, I’m in no way implying that’s a pillar of his construction of the program. Regardless, you can’t ignore facts to make a point.
The transfer portal is not going away. As I’m sure he will, Dabo and every other head coach will have to adapt their programs to it.
I don’t think the transfer portal alone is setting up the biggest threat to normalcy in college football. It’s the portal along with the many undergraduates lawyering up to be eligible to play immediately. The combination is setting up the “free agency” of the game. A possible deterrent could be giving an option of playing immediately but no scholarship can be awarded to you for that academic year or sitting out the year while retaining your scholarship. I’m sure there are plenty of problems with that thought as well as ways for programs to work around it.

I agree with that point completely. Regardless, it further debunks the myth “Dabo doesn’t accept transfers”. Exceptions do not validate blanket statements. “Dabo only takes transfers in unique circumstances” I can get behind that.

I just can't see Feaster at UofSuC, he wants to go somewhere that is a contender and has the pieces around him so he doesn't have to be the sole focus. UofSc has pieces around it but of sh yt not players!

although in theory a player in the portal can return to his team, how many non-desperate coaches would take them back ? I think most players will end up regretting entering the portal, as the grass only looks greener on the other side.

It is something like a black hole, Star Trek transporter, or Star Wars-y kind of thing. I don't know if anything this wordly can blow it up or empty it out. If Feaster becomes a chicken, it is definitely an alien concoction of some sort and needs to go.
