Just to confirm, kids who enter the portal CAN return

from the NCAA site about the transfer portal:
"The downside for student-athletes is that their current school can reduce or stop giving them athletics aid at the end of the term in which the request was made to enter the Transfer Portal.

“Anyone who comes to me, the first question I ask is: Have you talked to your family?” says Steve Corder, assistant athletics director for compliance at Detroit Mercy. “A lot of times kids want to leave on scholarship, and their parents may not understand why they are willing to give that up. There may be a conversation that needs to be had about how will college be paid for if another scholarship opportunity doesn’t arise.”

If student-athletes withdraw from the portal, the original school can return them to the roster and restore athletics aid if it chooses."

I don't think it's unreasonable to think that some of these kids might come back, especially Coulibaly. I think once the roster takes shape and other perceived opportunities evaporate, they might come back.

What is your point? Chances on any of our players coming back?

I was aware they could return but didn’t think many do. I have nothing to back that up though. I would imagine there’s a stat somewhere.

Just pointing out that kids who enter the portal don't have to leave.

When I posted, I was not certain that kids could return. I was hearing some crazy high numbers about kids entering the portal, and I figured some of them would almost have to return to their previous schools.

Oh I don’t disagree. I’d think darn near everything this year would be an outlier.

So a kid your trying to build a program with goes on other dates to see if they can upgrade, if they don't, you let them back in the house until they find a hotter husband , hahahahaha

Haha. Yeah, that's basically it. Plus add in a heavy dose of their mom telling him she knows her son can do better, and you end up in the portal in March.

The fact he didn't leave in the middle of the season and also waited a bit after the wave of other kids entering the portal gives me reason to optimistic. Obviously, my bar is low.

Why would you want them back ?

Doubt that many coaches would take a player back that entered the portal. No loyalty from the player should mean no loyalty from the coach.

Coulibaly isn't coming back, he got 6 offers in 5 minutes after entering the portal. Someone will tell him he can be the man.
