122: 🎙️ College Soccer Transfer Portal SPECIAL with #SRUSA's Andre Luciano! (Part 1)

The transfer portal has changed college soccer - and knowing when and how to use it can make a significant difference in where a player ends up.

In Part 1 of this special two-part episode, Don Williams sits down with Andre Luciano - SRUSA Senior Soccer Consultant and College Placement Expert with 30 years of experience across NCAA, NAIA, NJCAA, USL and youth soccer - to break down the transfer process from start to finish.

When is the right time to enter the portal? Is the fall or spring window the better option? How should a player approach the conversation with their current coach - and with potential new coaches? What should players understand before making the decision to transfer at all?

Don and Andre also discuss graduate students and the transfer portal, including how the new 5-in-5 eligibility model affects graduate players who are considering their next move.

With three decades of coaching and recruiting experience, Andre brings practical, honest insight into the decisions players face and the mistakes they need to avoid.

Whether you are a current college player considering a transfer, a graduate student exploring your options or a parent trying to understand the process - this is an episode worth your time.
