See how the Buckeye transfers (and decommitments) did this past season.....



Just sayin': Micah Potter had a couple OK years at Cheese, Dane Goodwin is doing decent at Notre Dame, and DJ Carlton played one respectable year on a poor Marquette team, etc.; but nobody really set the "world on fire" and/or was any better than players on the 2020/2021 team.

It’s become a regular occurrence in the offseason to see players come and go via the transfer portal. And it’s not just at Ohio State, but all over the country where this is the case.

“I was looking at the news the other day, saw a college program, a high-major program, who had 13 players in the transfer portal,” Holtmann continued. “Another one had nine. And they’re good programs.”

With the change in rule, the transfer portal is only going to become more active and players are going to change schools, at least once, on a more regular basis.

Due to this, coaches’ jobs are now altered. No longer do they just recruit players out of high school and coach them to play for their team for as long as they are in the program, but, as Holtmann described it, they are general managers of the program, having to try and keep their players from leaving in what is essentially free agency.

Whether this is good for the sport or not is up for debate, something Holtmann did not want to get into, but it certainly gives more power to the student-athletes than they’ve ever had before. And whether it is good or not doesn’t matter all that much. The rule is what it is and coaches and programs now have to adjust accordingly.

“For us, that’s really been the case the last three to four to five years,” Holtmann said. “I just think now, maybe more of your fans are starting to realize that you’re going to have three, four, five potentially every year. Unfortunately, or fortunately, however you look at it, that’s the way it is.”
