Who’s Cold: Which Teams Are Struggling to Conquer the Portal?

The portal giveth and taketh away. Here are the cold teams in the transfer portal right now. Brrrrr.

1. Arizona State — Despite landing Emory Jones there are too many legit players leaving including WR Ricky Pearsall, LB Eric Gentry, OL Spencer Lovell and DL Jermayne Lole.
2. Utah — It’s been odd for Utah with two 2022 signees already in the portal which makes you wonder what’s going on there. This is a talented team with a chance to win the Pac-12 but 10 players have left since April 7th and that could hurt depth.
3. Pitt — There is no way to make the loss of WR Jordan Addison be anything but a disaster and a momentum killer for the program. I’d like to spin a positive somehow but there’s no way to do it.
4. Maryland — Darrell Jackson is the latest ultra-talented young player from the Terps to land at another Power Five school. Leading the nation with 27 scholarship portal entries is difficult to throw a positive spin on, so it will be interesting to see if the Terps can right the portal ship in the coming year.
