@adbono posted:I’m not sure if insulated would be the right word, but there are certainly schools (like the ones you mentioned - and most D3s) that are not as transfer player orientated. However, even some schools that have traditionally not taken transfers are starting to loosen their belt on that issue.
A P5 coach who's recruiting my son told us last weekend that, "If you're not a player in the transfer portal you're getting passed by. Its here to stay and if a player will help us get to Omaha, we will take him."
