The main transfer portal window closed last week, giving college football fans (and teams) a moment to breathe. Over 1,000 players entered their names into the portal between December 5th and January 18th, marking a new era of college football that has drastically altered roster management and talent acquisition.
While players can still announce their intention to enter the portal, and some can enroll late, the next transfer portal window will not open until after spring practice. That is a smaller window that only runs from May 1st through May 15th.
With that in mind, we can start to assess the aftermath of this recent flurry of action.
