Or worse, they do stick around and develop greatly until the grad transfer year, the year you’re really counting on their experience and ability, the year you’re expecting to be the best the team has seen in years . . . and then they jump ship . . . leaving you with a huge gaping hole in your lineup.Yeah I think an unintended consequence of the portal is the elimination of non-medical redshirts. Or maybe it was intended but you can't afford to sit freshmen hoping they develop any more. They won't stick around and you'll get nothing for all that time and effort you put into developing them.
