Yes they do.
No. They don't. This is what you said:
Transfer players count against a class just as much as a high school recruit
You can take no more than 25 high school players (with exception for back counting, blue, grey shirts etc)
If you are below the 85 player limit you can take as many portal players as you want.

Well yeah...
The transfer portal is a relatively new innovation plus players can immediately play at their new school now.
Again we disagree. it isn't new. he way it is being handled is new, yes. But transfers have been around forever, almost. We have just now started calling it a transfer portal and just now started allowing them to transfer immediately...but transfers have been here for a long time.
Now, when you said the "transfer portal is a new innovation"...if you mean it is more organized and wide open...then I think we agree, just going by each other by semantics.
ETA
Perhaps I am not understanding the signing limits as per the portal? I am pretty sure you can sign as many players from the portal as long as you do not go past the 85 scholarship player limit, though.

False.

As the rules are currently constructed, any incoming transfers count against the 25-man limit of a program's signing class.
That has forced some college coaches to choose between signing high school players, whom they can develop for the future, or transfers who can help on the field right away.

Players previously couldn't immediately play unless they were graduate transfers, now they get a free transfer and can immediately play.
That's absolutely true.
