Hate this... quick transfer eligible right away. walk before you run.

frankly, i can also see coaches using this as a recruiting tool.

'give me one year. if you don't like it, you can transfer.'

it's the new normal.  as fans, we'll just have to get use to it.  can't get attached to any player.

Not complaining. And maybe I'm missing something. But is there any positive about this whole situation from a fan perspective?

If you are a fan of programs that have shown a deft touch in pilfering other teams' best players, then I'm going to say you will be happy.

BTW-Here is a ESPN article from several days ago, mind you it is about football but it can apply too basketball as well, about what we all know is going on in terms of the transfer portal and tampering/cheating.  And now with the new NCAA  1 time free transfer rule and all the major conferences dropping their intra-conference transfer rules/penalties to conform with the NCAA it will literally be the Wild West.  You could literally see an assistant coach winking and nodding at a kid after a game.  Here is a quote from UNC Football HC Mack Brown:

[URL]https://www.espn.com/college-f...rrived-college-football-looks-nba-free-agency[/URL][URL]https://www.espn.com/college-football/team/_/id/153/north-carolina-tar-heels[/URL]]North Carolina[/url] coach Mack Brown said he's "absolutely" concerned about other repercussions."You play a team now and you don't go shake the coach's hand on the other side," Brown said. "You go shake the great tight end's hand. 'Hey, you look great, man. Aw, man, we should have recruited you. Wish you were here.'"Brown paused."Well," he said, "now he can be."

That's nothing new. 

We played a home game against Hawaii in January of 1976.  I'm sure they were a good team then (we beat them in OT - I looked it up), but Looie had to be thinking about Reggie Carter possibly transferring home, and probably scheduled the game as a pseudo-recruiting visit.

If you have an opportunity like that, and it's within the rules, you go for it.
