we all talked about the number/and how USC brought in all those portal entries (well into the 20's, forgot exact number)
So after picking up the Roster/Depth Chart handed out yesterday, checked today to see how ASU exploited it...
36 (THIRTY SIX) in-transfers into ASU on that roster... with 12 that came in from JC's (which we all knew ASU always went after, so nothing new/surprising there). But 24 from other 4 year colleges, among them, from well established Div 1 programs:
Hawaii (2)
Oklahoma
Baylor
Penn St
Vanderbilt
Florida
Colorado St
Oregon
San Diego St
Maryland
LSU
Kansas St
Iowa St
Miami (FL)
Missouri
Utah
Auburn
Alabama
Of course not all stars, many likely looking to earn more playing time at their new destination than they saw at their old, but nonetheless they were able to fill a good number of key slots (including QB Jones from Florida), and also add needed depth to advantage. An opportunity (beyond our grad-xfer DB Fields #24) simply not open for Stanford.
I do believe the portal provides a far greater disadvantage to Stanford than NIL will ever.
