Long story short, might be trying to enter the transfer portal after this semester or possibly after the spring season. How does this work? Can I communicate with coaches before officially entering or must all contact have to wait until I'm in the portal? In your experience will coaches find you through the portal or do you have to do all the reaching out yourself if you're not necessarily a famous runner? Would I have to do anything different if I was to drop from D1 to D2, NAIA, or D3? Just assessing my options at this point, nothing is set in stone yet. Any other advice would be appreciated, it would be a bit weird asking for advice from my school's compliance department lol.
Thanks
