There are already over 100 names in the portal from Women’s Volleyball alone. Granted, a significant portion of them are grad transfers, but most are not. Many of them are likely looking to transfer before the start of Spring term so they can spend Spring season training with their new team. How many of those 100 have been in the portal for more than a month? How many are currently starting or getting consistent playing time on their teams? I've been told that a bunch of names have been in the portal for quite a while without garnering much interest. I'm not saying that they're all huge names or even that they're all scholarship athletes, but just sharing how there are reasons why it might benefit a student-athlete to enter the portal now instead of waiting until the beginning of January, when most schools resume classes.

I'm really bad at guessing genders. I always thought vballfreak808 was a guy. LOL! Also, unless relations are really really bad, players won't put their names in the portal until January. Otherwise, they risk losing their scholarship for the coming term(s). 25 new names in the last 48 hours.

With some seasons already closing, or will be closing this week, I’m not surprised people are entering the portal

Is that a total of new names across the board, or just D1?

Novice question but does anyone have any insight into how many of the transfers are permitted to play immediately? Seems fairly common but not quite sure of the waivers situation... Does their former coach handle that? 99%+ unless they are staying in the same conference. Then maybe 35%.

Graduate transfers can transfer, and play, immediately.

Graduate transfers can transfer, and play, immediately. The one problem with that is that most graduate programs only allow fall entrances.

Many many programs take students in the "off" terms if they want that student badly enough. Sometimes, it's not the student they want badly but they suddenly have an opening or a free scholarship that they need to give out that year (or they "lose" it) so if ask the program chair, you could be a lucky recipient.
