See that Skogman will spend his final year much closer to his Wisconsin home.
Yep. Born in Rendsburg in the northern German state of Schleswig-Holstein, which is bordered on the south by the state of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern.

See that Johnell Davis might land an NIL deal speculated to be around $1.4 million for his services in 2024-25. Looks like itâs between Arkansas and Kentucky after Michigan didnât work out.
Not sure where Goodman gets his numbers as TP4PT has 105 more D-I players in the transfer portal. Anyway, do expect it to surpass 2,000 by next weekâs deadline.
Thereâs no way they ALL find a new school, right? In that case, those that donât have thrown away a scholarship and a free college education. Doesnât make any sense, imo.

Not all of those kids wanted to leave. More than a few are being forced out.

Plus about 10% are walk-ons.
Anyway, true that not every player will find a new home, at least not at the D-I level.
Since I now know that they can be forced out by not renewing their scholarship.
It seems to me that players getting cutthroat with the portal has likely led to coaches being cutthroat with the scholarships and pushing people out.
I now have no problem with the portal.
Itâs every man and program for themselves.
So be it.
Coaches pushing players out has been happening for what seems like forever. One of the reasons for past proposals to make scholarships 4 years instead of year to year.

Yeah, I was under the impression this has been going on for decades. I remember, I think it was a Clemson football coach, Tommy Bowden, catching grief for pulling a kid scholarship to recruit over him. Sweeney has done the same.

Just a reminder that Niners arenât innocent when it comes to pulling scholarships.

Yeah coaches were cutthroat first. A lot of times they avoided the negative publicity of pulling a playerâs scholarship by sitting the kid down and telling them theyâd ride the bench all year if they didnât transfer. A lot of players got flack from fans for transferring (they should stick around and fight for their spot, right? They âgot scaredâ, etc.), but a lot of times coaches were telling them they had zero chance and that they should transfer if they wanted to play at all. I donât like what the easy transferring is doing to college sports, but it definitely wasnât fair to players before this and they often still got blamed for it.

Like everything with college sports it was just small steps to get where we are. Each step getting more cutthroat. You donât land where we are without the blame resting on coaches, schools, ncaa and players.
Win at all costs has always ended so well no matter what the competition represented is.
