Are they going to fix portal?
We've been noticing rosters seem fairly week at the top in this year's game. My hypothesis was players were going unsigned in the portal and being dropped, and then new fresh recruits would come in, enter the portal and drop in a repeating pattern causing depth to not rise. I decided to see who went unsigned at the end of our portal window. Below is the volumes we saw. Some volume would be okay, but the number I'm seeing especially of top QB's/WR's seems insane to me.
In prior games unsigned players would be somewhat randomly distributed. Do we know if that still happens? I assume the issue with signings is NIL demand is too high and demand doens't fall as players go unrecruited?
