All you have to do is when it is Players Leaving Week, retire your coach, then go the member screen and Add the same coach again and the Encourage Transfer Screen Now appears allowing you to add any player you want to the portal. Also the player will instantly show up in the "Transfer Portal" screen as a unranked recruit but they will have the correct star rating. I only do it for major recruits because I have not tested what happens if you transfer mass number of players, but basically this is a work around to choose who you want to put it in the portal. This was one of my big criticism of the game was the timing of the encourage transfer coming after the portal, but this is big.
