True....but I am skeptical that anything would actually stop a player from transferring with immediate eligibility outside of the upcoming transfer portal window if they decided to pursue it.
Edit - To be clear though, I don't think that is a concern in this case because the QB coming in knows...
I doubt the lack of a spring portal will stop anyone from transferring if they want to, but have to think this kid understands that he is walking into a situation with an established returning starter so gotta think he isn't coming in thinking he will be the starter in 2026 if Drake is healthy.

I totally get the anger/frustration/sadness towards the player and the current college football landscape.
Less clear on how exactly this is Fleck's fault but assume the...
