Okay, so, I’ve been keeping an eye on this whole Kansas Jayhawks football transfer portal thing, and let me tell you, it’s been a wild ride. I started by digging into what this “transfer portal” even is. Turns out, it’s basically a way for college athletes to say, “Hey, I’m out,” to their current school and, “Hey, I’m open for business,” to other schools.
I noticed that the number of football players jumping into the portal has been going up like crazy. We’re talking over 2,700 in the most recent year, and over 11,000 across all divisions! That’s a lot of players looking for a change of scenery.
Then I focused on the Jayhawks. I saw a headline about the transfer portal window opening, so I got to work tracking who was coming and going. The first thing I did was to look up some news reports – seems like the Jayhawks were gonna be super active in the portal this winter, especially after losing a bunch of starters to graduation.
I started keeping a list, kind of like a scorecard. The news started trickling in. I kept updating my notes every time a new player entered the portal or decided to transfer to Kansas. It got pretty intense, especially when they announced 15 commitments! I was constantly refreshing those sports news sites.
I also started looking up these players, seeing where they were coming from, what their stats were like, just trying to get a feel for how the team was shaping up.
I learned the official opening of the transfer portal was on December 9th, but people were already talking about it before then. So I made sure I was on top of things early. I even saw some stuff about a freshman defensive end possibly leaving, so I jotted that down too.
This whole thing has been a big learning experience. It just goes to show how much movement there is in college football these days. And keeping track of the Kansas Jayhawks transfer portal activity has been one heck of a busy time.
