REPORT: Commanders 2 Key Players Has Entered The Transfer Portal..

This national sympathy fest for Florida State is broken up to reveal that another quarterback has accessed the transfer site.

Furthermore, we’re not simply discussing any quarterback. He was formerly an exceptional candidate and had committed to one Power Five program before switching to another. Now, he is aiming for even greater things.

Cameron Ward of Washington State or Dante Moore of UCLA might both fit that description. Not important. Both of them are prepared to enter the magical gate and be pulled in and churned out.

Or how about the big arm who has already passed for thousands and thousands of yards for several different schools, but has chosen to stay on and gather yet another framed jersey to display in his parents’ den because the pandemic year now permits guys to attend college until they become eligible for Social Security?

The breathtaking ones. The applause. The house

While McCord’s move gives fans of Missouri a brief opportunity to delude themselves into thinking that he’s simply avoiding the Tigers game on December 29 (yes, this was a real thought that crossed my mind), the reality is that McCord and all the other quarterbacks who haven’t settled are just taking advantage of the transfer portal as a decentralized and insane form of free agency in college football.

The gateway is what occurs when a sport consumes psychedelics for 29 days in a row and goes a little crazy. There are certainly enlightening instances when newly freed college players take advantage of their basic freedom to relocate as freely as a head coach might when lured by a new multimillion-dollar contract. But as soon as the side effects set in, everyone begins to lose all impulse control—from analysts to fans to boosters—and begins to have hallucinations about who is going where.

The portal gives players new chances and greater money, naturally. It worked for three 2023 finalists as well as Caleb Williams, the Heisman Trophy winner from last year who moved from Oklahoma to Southern California. (Bo Nix moved from Auburn to Oregon, Michael Penix Jr. left Indiana for Washington, and Jayden Daniels transferred from Arizona State to LSU.) It lets a player follow the coach of his choosing or simply go after what they think is a better opportunity. And the free market starts even when schools are still in session and bowl games are still being played. Don’t laugh, though, because the NCAA still prefers to refer to players as “student-athletes.”

Additionally, December is the trippiest month for college recruiting in terms of name, image, and likeness collectives. It’s acceptable if one top recruit doesn’t work out. There’s always another one in the gateway at the correct price.
