slightly hijacking. Not COVID but the portal will have an impact that is hard to predict.

I can foresee top programs poaching the best players from lesser teams via the portal. Why take a risk on a HS graduate when you can call a travel coach and get a guy who impressed you on the mound in a non-conference game against your conference rival. All done hush hush.

I wonder If top programs will feed lower tier schools, like they do with some JUCO s. Then cherry pick those who develop. That would hurt JUCO schools

I also fear that the surplus of bodies might result in not valuing players. If you break one, just get another from the bloated roster or the portal.

Money can make people do things. I hope I'm wrong.
