I have talked to several folks from fans to parents of players, coaches, and administrators on the topic of the Transfer Portal.
I have read a few articles that range from”
The pros and cons for young athletes when it comes to the college transfer portal
Is the Transfer Portal Helping or Hurting College Athletic Programs?
I have drawn my conclusions, but this is less about what I think about the subject and more about what the Army fans here on GBK have to say about the transfer portal. And not only what it means or how you feel relative Army West Point athletics, but the sphere of college athletics as a whole.
It is obvious that when Jeff Monken hires members to his coaching staff, he is looking for the best qualified and that has been demonstrated throughout this time at West Point as Head Coach Monken.

So far hats off to the coaching staff for the great recruiting for the 2025 class. It is a solid class. Now let’s get started with the new class the 2026 class. I am looking forward to see a lot of big-time prospects making the commit to the brotherhood. Let’s get started!!!!!
For me, I will just say this "Is there any other real team in America that represents college football better than the Army Black Knights of West Point?"
As you know, GBK is always attempting to come up with ideas to ensure that during this offseason, but honestly, all the time ... the 12th Knight message board is active, engaging, and interactive.
That being said and again, here we are in June and one thread that we want to start is called "Best Non-Army Football Sports Thing I Saw Today!".
Needless to say there are so many sports-related topics, so this is not a matter of BEST topic per se, but more so what caught your eye and others can talk about it or add their own Best Non-Army Football Sports Thing I Saw Today.
There are a couple of topics that caught my attention from yesterday’s sports activities, but I am going to allow the fans here to chime in first …
On behalf of the GBK Team, I am reaching out to all the Army fans here on GoBlackKnights.com and there are tons.

I'm not saying other frosh aren't putting in the work because we know they are. But man, this is probably one of the reasons why young Mr. Smith was the plebe highlighted by GBK in the "Post-Spring Stock Watch: Army Defensive Frosh who made most of spring camp" article.
