The chats I occasionally have with players in the portal are somewhat disheartening. It is pretty obvious that not much research or planning was done prior to the decision.
I've been asked a few times recently about which fanbases are the most "active" with posts, comments, etc. There are three easy ones at the top:
Florida State
UCF
Michigan State
The recent Tennessee/Kentucky two day fist fight was entertaining but then died off

Jackson State's Travis Hunter has entered the transfer portal. Hunter was the No. 1 overall player in the Rivals250 for the 2022 class.
