"Despite rules against it, coaches and players say athletes receive frequent messages asking about their availability to transfer."
..“If they’re someone who’s a freshman of the year, or an all-league type player especially as a freshman or sophomore ...
I’d say close to 100% have probably heard from somebody behind the scenes or someone whispering in their ear,”
Northern Colorado head coach Jeff Linder said. “I’d say 90% of those types of players hear it.”
....a process many call “poaching.” It's against the rules, but difficult to track."
"....people trying to recruit guys out from under you.... “guys who are already in your program who have no intention of transferring
....and guys are going behind the scenes, third-party guys, trying to open up the door, trying to contact them to let them know
