I would guess a lot of campus visits are happening this week so hopefully we will see more dominos start to fall.

Are players allowed to contact coaches of other teams before they enter the portal? Or are they only allowed to visit/communicate with other coaches when they enter the portal?

Oregon Coach Ulmer just posted TWO Ducks on Twitter saying "Ducks fly together"? Who?

I think the rules state they can only communicate with other coaches if they accidently run into each other at the airport.

How do the current players who were recruited with large intentions respond when head coaches continually pound the portal? Is this now commonplace? Is it commonplace? Uh...yes? It’s similar to a younger, more talented player being brought in straight from high school. Not the same, but similar. If you get beat out, you get beat out. It sucks for the player who isn’t able to start when they may have had that expectation. But it’s clear it’s tough to make it to a Final Four these days unless you’re augmenting your roster with talented transfers.

Thank you players for not doing some stupid Christmas themed transfer post like Carter Booth did last season. Other than posting in Christmas Day, what was "Christmas themed" about it? All it was was her in a Wisconsin sweatshirt in front of an evergreen tree. the tree

So making the Final Four is more significant than following through with commitments made to recruits and their dreams made possible through hard work?

It's OK to not like the transfer portal without forming an opinion on the value of an achievement respective to the value of keeping a promise to a player. I'm certain that coaches have incentive clauses in their contracts for making Final Fours. There certainly could be incentive clauses for "following through with commitments made to recruits and their dreams" but I am not aware of any.

Coaches will do what they need to do to win. Maybe they think that keeping commitments to athletes and training them from day 1 will do that, maybe they don’t. But if an opportunity to get a player in the portal who will elevate your team greatly appears, you don’t say no to that. At the end of the day winning is the goal and especially if these coaches want to keep their jobs.

Programs that recruit well and THEN use the portal to upgrade at one or more positions just need to be wary of the tightrope they’re walking. If your top recuits don’t start 2/3 of the 4 years, and it’s a consistent and noticeable thing, they run the risk of not being able to attract top recruits. Each university should just lay out what they want from their program and stick to that and what they tell the athletes during recruiting. Live with the results.

A coach's job is to recruit the best players they can find and do their very best to develop that talent, and then go out and try to recruit someone better than who is on their roster. It's a dog-eat-dog world, especially at the top. Don't wear Milk-Bone underwear.
