Transfer Portal

Not sure where else to look .. but I've been watching @SoftballPortal.

Know who loves the transfer portal? God. I'd say 90% of the players posting are following God's plan.

Lack of a portal saved my kid from herself. She had a horrible start to her freshman year at a Big Ten program, but they paid big for her and left her on the field. If there had been a portal back then, she would have bolted for sure. Instead, stayed, started, and thrived after she got out of her own way.

Maybe she would have went somewhere else, and killed it. You don't know the lack of a portal saved her.

True

... but she earned a B-school degree from a highly rated Big Ten school.

They all also love and are grateful for their old school. I’d rather see one that says. Look I made the wrong choice, I hated it, I survived I’d like a chance somewhere else….lol

Some kids actually lead a Christian life, and give all Glory to God. They have faith in making, what is a pivotal choice in their life. I know, hard to believe in this day and times. I know this because my daughter transferred schools and it's not easy. Faith helped make it happen. And she didn't find God only during the transfer.

While I realize there are true believers, I've seen kids go into the portal where the only expression of their faith is in a single post. Why now?

The real post is: "I had plenty of time while I sat on the bench this year to reflect on my potential playing time, and while I appreciate the opportunity, there's not a chance in hell of me seeing the field at this school, barring multiple injuries. This training shit is hard if you're never going to play, and I still love the game and would like to see the field at some point in my career."

My daughter follows the strict tenants of Pastafarianism. It has been a guiding light in her life. Every at bat she traces the outline of cooked spaghetti in the dirt for good luck. ramen!

I'm confused, doesn't the portal open on June 8th?
