I would assume most players have made
their decision before the end of the season or once they had their season-end talk with Coach Pete. Most want to get their name out there ASAP once the decision has been made. So, I think that's a good indication that no one else is going into the portal. Sophomores who don't see themselves breaking into the lineup by their Junior years are most at risk. So far, knock on wood, we have not had any starters leave for NIL reasons.
