Substantially agree with your statements, but all things are not equal. In recent years, the portal opened considerably earlier... before play had ended. This year, all teams had finished play when the portal opened, and all but 2 Division 1 teams had ended far enough back for coaches to have completed year-end interviews. This created a floodgate scenario where most players had already made their decisions and were sitting in waiting on 6/8, the day of portal opening. While we probably have different sources, or perhaps different refreshes of the same source, when I last looked I saw portal entrants by date as follows: 133 = 4/13 - 6/7 (primarily grad xfers and programs where head coach is leaving) 705 = 6/8 (portal fully open) 14 = 6/9 10 = 6/10 ** Edited by Hokie4Life_89 at 6/12/2026, 2:29:56 PM
