Thanks Greek that's a change from what I had heard - will update!  Yet another potential high-level transfer in the portal, this year is going to blow away the record for most D3 to D1 transfers.

Justin Allen from Carnegie Mellon enters the transfer portal with two years eligibility remaining:

Seems like he's getting a lot of Ivy/Patriot type interest.

Octavio Brito heads to the Portal!

The rumor I heard this weekend was that Megnanglo would be coming back to Trine.

It's been confirmed that Megnanglo will be returning for a 5th year.  That is great news!  I have also heard that Cam Awls will probably be coming back as well.  That means we'll be only losing 2 players from the championship roster for the 24-25 season, Cortez Garland and Brent Cox.

It's going to be another dogfight in the MIAA next season between Calvin, Hope and Trine.  I think both Olivet and Adrian will be much better too.

Davidson Hubbard heads to the Portal.

From the way that post is worded, it looks like there's a chance he'll come back if the right opportunity doesn't present itself.

[nescac1]

Agreed that Hubbard clearly is leaving open the possibility of returning.  Four of HSC's top six guys are seniors with remaining eligibility (Elliot, Hardy, Brazil and Hubbard), so they have a pretty huge range in term of where they start next season. I assume that Brazil is returning for a fifth year, as HSC recently listed him as class of 25 in a press release.

Seems like Pearson is going to give the portal a try after all:

I suspect annually entering the portal will be pretty routine for the top players in the division going forward.  Nothing wrong with checking out the offers available and it gives them leverage at their current school.

What kind of leverage?

What kind of leverage?

There is and will be NIL money in d3, probably increasing going forward.  It won't be in the millions like D1 stars get, but if a college kid can get 5 or 10k to keep playing some place, they're going to try, right?

The other thing is hires and budgets - some star might enter the portal to get more say in the next coach, if there's a change - or negotiate for better accommodations on the road.  I'm not saying it's good or beneficial, but players are definitely going to take advantage of their positions.

If the Dartmouth case goes through, even d3 teams will be able to unionize and bargain, if they so choose - because that's entirely unrelated to athletic scholarships.

The recruiting battles are going to continue right through their playing years going forward.  Players will get what they can get and the portal is definitely leverage.

^^^ Interesting. Thanks.
