With the fairly new transfer process are place via the Transfer Portal, are kids who wish to transfer required to use the portal to do so. What if a student-athlete has a good idea of where he or she would like to go. Are they free to contact the school(s) to gauge interest or do they have to use the portal process. On a separate note, where are sites that are tracking who is in the portal today getting that information. I thought the transfer portal info wasn’t available to the public?

Good questions.
Does the posting over and over about the transfer portal have any impact on athletes looking at it as an option ? Are they transferring now more often than they might have in the past?

Here's a link to a graph on the NCAA site that shows the percentage of D-1 mens basketball players transferring for each year between 2004 and 2018. It was published in July of 2019. It shows, surpsingly, a slight downward trend in the % of players transferring. Last year's data is not included-- www.ncaa.org/about/resources/research/transfers-division-i |

On a separate note, where are sites that are tracking who is in the portal today getting that information. I thought the transfer portal info wasn’t available to the public? I would imagine that the process is initiated by engaging your school's athletics compliance department. From there, they would process the paperwork and your name would appear in the "portal." The "portal" itself has been drastically overblown. It's simply a database of names, and schools would have known about impact transfers without the need for a database. For example, John Calipari did not log on to the "portal" last year, filter through some data, and see that Nate Sestina from Bucknell was available. The only difference between today and the "pre-portal" days is that players are immediately released from their scholarship when they complete that transfer paperwork, versus the old days when a school had to release the player and was able to add conditions to that release (e.g. can't transfer within the conference or to X-Y-Z schools). Regarding the public trackers, Jeff Goodman has been tracking a master list of transfers for years (previously on ESPN, now on Stadium) -- when guys transfer, word spreads between coaches and media members. |

The setting when you click on the page is for JUCO transfers. Easy mistake to make  |

NCAA suspends Division 1 recruiting through April 15
Share ZagsblogShare Zagsblog
By JACOB POLACHECK
The NCAA is suspending on-campus and off-campus recruiting for all Division I sports through April 15, a source confirmed Friday.
The suspension eliminates unofficial visits through at least April 15.
“The Council Coordination Committee adopted emergency legislation to establish a temporary recruiting dead period (as defined in NCAA Bylaw 13.02.5.5) in all NCAA Division I sports, effective immediately,” per the NCAA. “The dead period will remain in effect at least until April 15 , at which time the Council Coordination Committee will re-evaluate the status of the situation. Based on the immediate effective date, reasonable measures should be taken to cease all recruiting activities that are not permissible during a dead period (e.g., official and unofficial visits, contacts and evaluations).”
In the wake of the recent Coronavirus threat, The Masters, the opening of the MLB season and the NBA, NHL, MLS and ATP tennis tours have all been suspended or postponed, while the NCAA Tournament and 19 conference tournaments were canceled.
The NCAA recently canceled remaining winter and spring championships, while some conferences have made decisions to further cancel competition.
Men’s and women’s basketball, cross country and track, men’s golf, lacrosse, women’s volleyball and baseball are currently in a contact period, while softball is in an evaluation period.
If the suspension is lifted on April 15, the football recruiting calendar would then go into an evaluation period, as planned, where coaches will be able to travel off campus and conduct in-person evaluations.
The Nike EYBL canceled its April events on Friday.
