And in particular, how might it change UNC basketball?
Obviously it's chaos this year. Fascinating to watch, but most of us don't want this experience to be repeated.
A little of that chaos might spill over a little into next year. But I don't expect it to be nearly as much of a Wild West experience. This year, all those kids who were glumly gutting it out on teams they'd rather leave, but who didn't want to sit out a year, are jumping at the chance. But next year there should be very little of that pent-up demand.
I'm assuming it settles down pretty fast. There will be higher numbers in the portal every year, but manageable numbers. Which gets back to the main question: Once it settles down, what does that do to recruiting and to teams?
