How the Transfer Portal Impacts Recruiting
Roster spots now turn over faster, which means high school athletes compete with transfers for attention. The answer isn't panic — it's positioning: earlier outreach, sharper film and target lists that account for portal activity at each program.
Start by comparing current roster needs with staff to understand where openings may exist for your class.
Update your film, academics and contacts, then ask about timelines and available places. Confirm the applicable eligibility rules with the program.
