The one poster mentioned no longer recruiting HS players and just getting them from the portal. I have to say that thought has crossed my mind. It would take a lot of doh-ray-me, but you could possibly see pretty quick results. I'm also waiting for the schools to start hitting back and saying "Hey, we paid for your training for two years, where' s the compensation for THAT?"
I see a lot of people freaking out about players entering the portal. Look at Iowa's board for 3 minutes.
But I'm afraid it's going to be the hundreds of athletes jumping into the portal that are about to get a rude awakening. They're being told that there is lots of $NIL$ out there for the taking but it's all still subject to the law of Supply and Demand. They might be looking for a payday but the vast majority of those in the portal aren't going to get more than some pocket money. The big dollar deals are going to go the few elite players and even those have their own strings attached (starting, production, not being arrested etc).
The portal will be crazy for a few years but it will normalize. Athletes will recognize that just because you enter the portal doesn't mean you'll get a guaranteed offer, much less an NIL deal.
