Off-season SOCON Transfer Tracker 2025

[tya1]

Samford is really taking a hit with guys entering the portal now. Four more of their top guys have jumped in after Bucky took the Texas A&M job. That is in addition to the three who had announced exits earlier and the seniors they will lose.

As of right this moment they have four guys - two current freshmen and two incoming freshmen. They need a new coach quickly to calm things down, and get talking to current players and potential recruits and replacement transfers.

Samford is really taking a hit with guys entering the portal now. Four more of their top guys have jumped in after Bucky took the Texas A&M job. That is in addition to the three who had announced exits earlier and the seniors they will lose.

As of right this moment they have four guys - two current freshmen and two incoming freshmen. They need a new coach quickly to calm things down, and get talking to current players and potential recruits and replacement transfers.

From a quick look, I believe roughly half of Samford's current roster came out of the transfer portal.

I'm assuming that if you live by the portal, you die by the portal. When you have a roster full of guys with no real connection to the school or to the coaching staff, there's really not much of a reason for them to stay.

I think we will look back over the years and realize that for our level, Furman's approach in both football and basketball to primarily recruit and develop high school players and supplement with the portal where needed will be the right answer.
