Transfer portal

We knew that was happening to UC's players last year. I am sure that it is still happening. There should be zero contact with any player prior to them going into the portal. It seems that players go into the portal because they have already been contacted. Things that used to get coaches fined, fired and even sentenced, now is commonplace. Thanks NCAA.

I think the toughest thing to police is indirect contact. During recruiting, coaches get player contact, along with coaches, family, and friends. If P5 program ABC wants a player, they contact the friend of a friend...

You are correct, proof is easy to get and it is rampant. Until the NCAA adds a stiff penalty, it will continue.

I'm going to hide a news article in this thread regarding tampering since we're talking about the portal here. ($)

Rumors only, but multiple rumors indicating Florida WR Xzavier Henderson will pick UC. Looks like he played with Emory the full 2021 season and was with the Gators in 2020, listed as a sophomore, at least 2 years of eligibility.

This looks like this will happen as soon as today. Henderson is officially in the portal.

It is making me nervous that we are getting all these transfers from D2 and D1 subdivision schools. It used to be transfers from O$U, Michigan, Alabama, and other large D1 programs.

Offer to New Mexico LB Dion Hunter

"100% committed" to UC. Note this is less than the 110% committed transfers and recruits

Did we miss this commitment? https://247sports.com/college/cincin...ati-209618756/

Apparently. I was pretty busy over the Friday/Weekend but I didn't see anyone retweet that one on Twitter.

Offer to Donovan Callis CB from East Central U in Oklahoma. ECU is a D2 school and this guy has some heavy hitters after him.

I caught a little bit of that rumor on Friday. Pretty sure we're getting him.

On Ben's transfer....: ($)

Good luck to Ben. There are certainly worse places to get a graduate degree from.

I would take 4th string to get a master degree from Northwestern.

@Williams_Justin:

#Bearcats QB Ben Bryant has entered transfer portal, @TheAthleticCFB has learned.

Source said Bryant wants to explore options, but is keeping open possibility of returning to UC to compete for starting job.

Satterfield does not intend to name starter ahead of preseason camp.
