DIII, NAIA & JUCO paths are rare + underreported.
If you’re starting at DIII, NAIA, or JUCO, your odds of a successful transfer are likely even smaller than DII’s 38%.
@AlysssaMoreno@_coachrachel No, there’s not. There’s 1 portal- the NCAA portal. You’re really not helping the case for bringing credibility to the NAIA.
D1 players frequently trickle down to the NAIA because the level is good. But to say that NAIA players frequently jump up to D1 is ignorance.
@_coachrachel@AlysssaMoreno She still missed the whole point by saying “they definitely enter.” NAIA players enter what??
No, they don’t enter any portal. NAIA doesn’t have one. So she’s saying NAIA players enter the NCAA portal?
I had a great day yesterday at Lake City! I went 7-8 with a ground out and 2 hbp and 2 walks! I didn't strike out once this weekend and I had some good plays in OF! It was a great first tournament for my team. @FREEDOMSBFL@CoastRecruits@ExtraInningSB@recruitmeSB@SBRRetweets
