I have seen a lot of doom and gloom about the transfer portal and how it is bad for ISU. I don't see it.
Is there a chance we will lose a great player some time...sure.
But it offers ISU the chance to fix recruiting errors immediately with G5 players who are proven.
For example...linebacker is in desperate need of some transfers who can be good immediately. In other years we would be hoping for a miracle with a JUCO kid. Not so much now.
The portal keeps ISU from major dips in talent that we saw in other years before the portal.
I'm excited about possible newcomers already and we haven't landed anyone. It's also a good way to encourage "misses" to move on.
