I am a Texas fan and alum. I met Johnthay Cook at a public meet-and-greet with Texas fans in Austin. It was him, and two other Texas players signing autographs and taking pictures with fans. I only got about 30 seconds to meet Johntay, but I could clearly tell that he did not want to be there and looked visibly annoyed.
What I don't understand is why coaches accept players who transfer multiple times. There are so many questions that arise from all these transfers; are they afraid to compete, are the developing their skills when they transfer so often, are there CHARACTER issues, etc. Bringing a 5 star player into the locker room can actually be a HUGE negative.
Whatever demons Johntay is dealing with right now, I pray he gets them under control. He's throwing everything away, damn some football, he is ruining his life with these bad decisions. Get it right Johntay, your story isn't over.
This will add to the fact that when players get to the league, they lack development. These guys are just going to bounce around surviving off of pure raw talent alone. Way too casual
I've been saying for years the transfer portal is ugly to say the least! It should follow the NFL rule of 3 years out of high school! 1. Player must commit to said school until Jr. Year 2. Jr yr player can transfer to any school or declare for the NFL draft. 3. Transfer port only open in February. 4. Transfer portal can only be used once, unless player has been dismissed or cut from said team.
Restricting player movement sounds ridiculous. SMH. Things like this happen all the time. A system is not set up to work for everybody. Some people just don’t get it. It’s more of a problems during upbringing. Coaches have to make the decision of who fits and it has to do with more than just talent. When Colorado said no and he was openly saying he wanted to go there I knew it was a character problem. It just is what it is sometimes but to say there needs to be restraints on players is wild. Let’s make your favorite team keep a trash coach with no fire or buyout options. That sounds terrible and so does this.
Difference is, you don’t see coaches leaving for 3 different teams in 3 years. Coaches are grown adults, a lot of these kid are emotional, misled, single mother raised babies.
The smaller schools suffer the most from the portal. They find gems or coach up a guy just for him to transfer to bigger schools the following year that previously didn’t want him at all. Not blaming the player, but it seems like the rich get richer in the portal and smaller schools are gonna get left even further behind
Unrestricted free agency with no limits and no caps. Players have agents. Fisch should have called Sark or the WR coach at Texas to ask about the player. Coaches normally communicate these details word of mouth but in the world of high finance college athletes, maybe they are worried about liability (tortious interference with contract)? Maybe the NIL deals now include NDA's that the coaches sign? Or maybe it's hot potato with winner take all slash and burn mentality towards fellow institutions? Teams with virtually unlimited NIL resources like Texas/Oregon/Ohio State do not need to take a risk on a player in order to build a competitive roster. It's the 99% of teams with significantly lower NIL resources who have to take a chance on players who are injury prone or may have other issues. (Penix had two season ending, career threatening injuries before arriving at Washington. Many players have unrealized potential that requires a couple of years of development. There's no incentive to develop players when they will likely jump up the ladder to more lucrative NIL landing spots. Arch is likely on a long term NIL deal, so he's definitely an exception. For teams forced to take riskier and riskier picks to try to compete on fewer NIL dollars, some issues are solvable but many are not. Forget about getting a degree if you transfer every year. There should be a cap on blue chip ratio in order to keep the sport interesting and prevent the richest handful of teams from hording all of the best 5 and 4 star players. It's not interesting to watch an NFL roster play college development players, but that's what we have when Ohio State plays 2/3rds of their opponents. Why would any fan want to watch a team with a 90% BCR play a team with 5%? Why not cap BCR at 50% of scholarship players? This will also force blue bloods to develop 3 star players. Coaches might actually have to coach instead of winning because of overwhelming talent. If the Supreme Court considers the NCAA Standard Oil, it should institute similar policies to the NFL. Why not align colleges with NFL teams and have players drafted out of HS to enter the farm system similar to MLB? There are no easy answers, but something has to give. It can't be all money ball with new rosters every season or the fans are going to jump ship. College football has tradition, culture, and history. Agents and money ball are buying the game and the fans are left short changed.
That only benefits the institution. These players are not on the same talent/elite level. Not everyone can do what Johnthay has done with the portal.What about the players that get stuck in the portal with no offers. The institution is only concern about building depth not the players.
In the last 20 years only about 10 schools have won the National Championship with Texas being one in 2005 maybe you should have said 10 or 15 years most people fail to realize that out of about 135 teams about 95 % will never win a National Championship in our lifetime
The portal isn't the problem. All recruiting is risk reward. How about don't offer him the bag if you think he doesn't fit. You know its 1,000s of kids in the portal to send an offer too.
This could have happened under the old rules before the transfer portal and NIL.. He would have had to have sat out a season, but otherwise could have happened in the exact same way
@@kobe1084 It looks like in this case it just might possibly kill his career quicker. In the past he would have had an entire year to sit on his butt and listen to everyone else tell him how big of a jackknob he was

LITERALLY
He’s his own worst enemy
Supposedly he was caught going through other players’ lockers and got into a fight at a weed shop

Pretty sure half of us could write his story right now.
Its really about payment structures.
1st semester:Monthly stipend+NIL(40%)
2nd semester: Monthly stipend+NIL(40%)
Summer: Monthly stipend+ NIL(20%)+Rev share bonus
College football is money over everything now😂😂.

sitting out a year was a very large deterrent and was the reason stuff like this was extremely rare. The portal eliminated that barricade
