With the transfer portal the coaches can take chances on players and if it does not work out for either party, they can  part ways at the end of the season. We have taken chances on several players, wether it maybe they were injured in HS, borderline Division 1 player, questionable academically, or a bad actor. So it really gives some of these  players a second chance to prove themselves. So I would guess a lot of these players that don’t get picked up out of the portal, would not have been offered a scholarship years ago.
