We're just two weeks and change into the transfer period and already hundreds of players have found new homes. Max and Sam take a close look at which programs are in the running to be Portal King, such as Lane Kiffin and Ole Miss (5:30). Which transfer could wind up being impact players (17:30), and who are some of the best available transfers still in the portal (20:00)? TCU director of player personnel Tyler Olker then joins the guys to pull back the curtain on the busiest time of year for teams' roster management (27:15). Olker takes us inside what it's like to be simultaneously locking up recruits ahead of NSD, working the transfer portal, developing players, and more. On the topic of National Signing Day, Max and Sam help you get ready for Wednesday with a NSD primer (45:45).
