Some interesting thoughts on player development / roster retention from Mike Norvell and Mack Brown:
Mack Brown was answering a random question at the end of a press conference when he detailed some of the wildness of roster retention in the transfer portal era. UNC’s coach was asked about Jacolby Criswell and how the quarterback has developed, when Brown opened up about the portal being open even when it’s not really open.
“I’m telling you, there’s agents calling kids every day saying, ‘I don’t know how much you’re playing. Would you like to transfer to this school?’ And we get calls every day. It’s unbelievable. From kids playing,” Brown said after UNC’s win over FSU on Saturday.
