If a player is in the portal they can sign with a new team after the portal closes

I'm not sure if that was a response to my post.  I was referring to the risk of losing more players by having a coaching change portal open up after the regular portal.  We've already lost our chance of retaining players who might of stayed with a change, but then could lose more players who might leave because of a change. Like happened with the Troy Taylor firing. A coaching change after the regular portal is the worst scenario in terms of timing.

true that, but hopefully, come this fall, the new recruiting class would be a lot better.
