ORLANDO, Fla. — The phone call came the other night from a high school football coach who I’ve known for years, and there was concern, alarm and even anger in his voice.
He is concerned that college coaches rarely even show up on his campus anymore because they are spending most of their time scouting the transfer portal.
He is alarmed that the nation’s big-time institutions of higher earning, er, learning will simply fill their rosters with college free agents rather than high school recruits.
