We are back, folks, here on the Michigan Insider or on the Big 1050WTCA online at the big 1050.com, Sam Webb,

Mr. Irointraub on the other side.

And joining us again is our good friend Eric Adelson.

Yesterday, marked the official opening of the transfer portal EA.

Jeff Goodman, a long time college basketball reporter, tweeted midday yesterday.

There are already more than 500 men's basketball players in the portal.

And we're not even through the first day of its official opening.

Ridiculous.

You find that ridiculous EA or is just the sign of the times that we're in

that guys want to move along is is that is that is bad is that a bad thing that so many players

want to move along what do you make of the phenomena of the portal? Well, I mean, has the overall quality of the product suffered?

I mean, I don't really see it.

I don't really see that.

I know that there are some players who just jump from team to team to team and don't find happiness.

But you know what?

I mean, that's – if you've been involved in youth sports, that happens everywhere.

And that's a function of that player and a lot of the times the family.

And a lot of times people don't really talk about this, but sometimes it's good.

I mean, sometimes it's good if there's a player that isn't happy, isn't getting playing

time and just wants a fresh start somebody else.

And then the other players on the team are relieved that they're not just a weight on the team,

a burden on the team.
