But Maheo, aren't most transfers the players who got too little playing time, who were not integral parts of the team and that's really why they went a-roving? If Mann wasn't ready to try for the NBA, would he be looking to transfer away from White? I have those suspicions. The very essence of our Gator team wants out. They are willing to break their Gator friendships to go to a strange coach & strange teammates. That is a significant negative signal. And if White was lost and stumped on how to make his 2020-2021 boys consistently winners, how much pouting & blaming will characterize his coaching in the 2021-2022 Gator season. The best players have not survived this coach. If that much is obvious, what other failures are hidden?

The Gator team is transferring out from the front of the train, not the caboose area. That doesn't fit the usual makeup of the typical transferees.

Tons. There’s over 1,000 players in the portal right now. I’m sure more to come. It’s becoming the norm.

Over 350 teams in D1, that means each team averages less than 3.

We have 4 and counting, def not the "norm"

It just means we have room to win another TRANSFER PORTAL CHAMPIONSHIP!!!!

Has any team held both the football and basketball title at the same time?

I'm going to say it, all these transfers mean one thing and one thing only:

All the Mike White sycophants can now demand 2+ more years because it is a "new team", same BS we heard this year, same bs we heard last year, and so on and so forth. Seriously, that excuse has been the go to excuse for a while now and this just gives it more ammo.

I'm so tired of his B.S. White Privilege.

I’m not defending White by any means. Just pointing out that if an average of 3 players per team are in the portal, then it’s not just a UF issue.

Don't try to talk us down from the ledge... I'm jumping.

I didn’t jump. Whitey straight up murdered my love of gator basketball. I want that turd gone.

My post was simply about all the players entering the portal. Mizz is at 4 gone. I think UToothless is at 3. Syracuse is at 2 now and expects 3-4. I realize it is Buffalo, but they had 6 guys enter the portal. In our case, Glover and Osifo should’ve never gotten offers. Locke is leaving because he wants to start at pg, and Whitey said no. Payne just wants away from Whitey’s trash coaching.

I'd say, we have to rank the starting minutes that are leaving from each school. That is the most edifying fact.

I just can't see minimal talent players transferring as a bad thing. 50/50 we replace them with equal to better players....
