Motivation psychology

Seems like a lot of hired final year transfers are doing blah.

I assume they got an agreed upon cash commitment with no performance requirement.  They only have 1 yr to go so no reason to try hard since not trying to get hired again.  
 

Having been paid money, and a fair bit of it, it seems like their mindset is changed.  No longer motivated by simply trying to be the best.  Instead motivated by money, in new environment, away from friends they wouldn’t otherwise want to let down.  Result … blah.

Fair?  Curious to hear others thoughts.

Going to guess that the demand for final year guys is going to be greatly diminished.

I was actually thinking about starting a topic and asking opinions about which portal transfer was making the most positive impact for their team thus far. 

My vote is Rocky Elam for Iowa State.  That was a big get for the Cyclones and he seems really happy with his new team.

That may happen in some cases, but 30% of last year’s champions were “hired final year transfers”
