I mostly like the portal thus far. But I was pretty annoyed the other day. My QB graduated, and my backup situation wasn’t great. So I hit the portal for a one year QB so I could redshirt my new 4* recruit. 2 guys available who have interest in me, and are reasonable to try and recruit as a 3 star program. They’re 81 and 79 overall respectively. The 79 overall ends up committing to UW week 2 of the portal period, okay fine. Week 4, the OTHER guy also commits to UW. I’m like wtf why does UW NEED 2 senior transfers how bad is their QB room? Jump forward to the next season, I sim through week 1. Who did UW decide to start? The 82 overall sophomore they already had on the roster. Simmed the entire season. Neither of the senior transfers (one of which I REALLY needed) played a down. Before that portal period btw, they already signed a 5 star QB that came in as a 77 overall freshman. They had 2 guys at 78 on the roster. So without even recruiting these 2 senior transfers, they would’ve had their 82 overall starter (who played really well), 2 78 overall backups, a 77 overall true freshman, and a 75 overall redshirt junior. Why EA?

Those 2 transfers were the best QBs on UW’s team when they recruited them. But then the other QBs progressed (which transfers don’t do in this game for some reason) and became better. And you’ve seen progression in this game. It’s very possible that 82 future starter was in the 60s when UW recruited the transfers, so they might’ve been the best guys by a large margin when they were signed.
