Can’t help but laugh on how the transfer portal process disguises the behind the scenes ‘recruiting’ that occurs for some players who are still on active rosters of other teams. Take former PSU QB Micah Bowen;
—2020 3star from Las Vegas signs with PSU, among his offers were just 1 school from the Big 12, Kansas.
—Within 8 days of each other at the end of 2020, OU see’s 2 backup QB’s enter the portal and end up at TCU and SMU.
—Bowen enters transfer portal on January 15.
—Bowen accepts scholarship offer to OU on January 19.
Hard to imagine player and OU actually make this happen without ‘handlers’ involved prior to Jan. 15th. Happens to every team of course, and certainly most teams are involved with the back office dealings to bring in a new player. IMO, it sucks. That is all.
GBR !
