A lot more than this and a lot more to come.
Thanks to the NCAA.
How many won't be playing next year?

Partial list of the transfer boys.....
- Thread starter TwinDegrees2
- Start date
I think this will self limit in the future. I'm sure the extra free year and Covid are playing a role this year in addition to the novelty of the situation. Remember that as the rule stands now you get one free pass and then would have to sit out a year for each subsequent transfer. After some of these players get less than warm responses for their services the portal may not seem as attractive going forward.
I think this also sets the stage for more NCAA upsets in the next few years.
There are many players who will move forward with their transfers.
There's a TON of talent backlogged on CBB teams.
All that glitters...
Let’s take a look at player A. High school star. Rests on his laurels in college and is not happy with his playing time. “I‘m a five star, and Mr.. BB, I should start and play 30 minutes”. Unless he moves down in competition, his second school may give him the same outcome, unhappily riding the bench.
Player B is really good, but on a bad team. He transfers to a good team and enjoys the improvement. His team attracts talented kids from all over, so maybe Player B doesn’t get as many minutes as he would like. “I used to be the star, now I can’t get traction to even play 10 minutes”.
I suspect there will be disappointments out there, but at least kids can get away from the snake oil salesmen and get to a place they enjoy.

Fatts Russell (Rhode Island) and Kellan Grady (Davidson) are going to be big, big pickups for someone. Very surprised Grady is leaving Davidson.
I like CMPs idea of 1 “free” transfer after your sophomore year. He really thought it through. Fell on deaf ears though.
Me too. I was too busy reading the list, and not finishing this thread (or you could've saved me several minutes going back over the list thinking I had just missed it somehow the first time through).
That's a big pick-up for Michigan State....PG play was a huge hole in their offense for most of the season.
Agreed. And I have ZERO issue with this type of transfer taking place. He was a 3 star who went to a lower level conference and didn't have any big programs recruiting him. Now he gets to show what he can do at a top program.
I'm too lazy to look up what goes along with the school's scholarship requirements, but I'm fairly certain a coach could make it pretty clear they have no place on the team in the future, should they put their name in the transfer portal.
Not sure a player would want to return to that type of situation.
Yes and now Rocket Watts is leaving. No Rocket Mortgage sponsoring Rocket Watts at M$U.
Sounds like there is chatter that he was unhappy - even his post about entering the portal was weird "after negotiating a difficult decision".
What does that even mean?
Izzo seemed unhappy with Watts and Loyer (although he was hurt). That is odd wording. Negotiating a difficult decision with Izzo? Not even trying to hide the possible money exchange.
Haha.
Izzo/MSU released a statement - sounds like they wanted Rocket to run the point and because of COVID they didn't have as much time to work him into the roll which probably lead to the frustrations.
Well it has to be difficult for a young man to make a decision while in the company of an old white guy blubbering with tears rolling down his cheeks.
Who was the MSU big man who got into a screaming match at the end of the half against UCLA? Is he sticking around, or is that just how the coach and players deal with each other in that family?
Thanks. As soon as I read this I remembered "Brown" on the back of his jersey.
I believe he meant, "...after navigating a difficult decision...".
A driver can "negotiate turns", a person in sales can "navigate negotiations", and I would wager that pilots could also "negotiate navigations", if they wanted that assignment.
He probably confused you by using a word with more than two syllables.
It all started when Izzo said " I thought the said 'Brown Delivers'. Why aren't you?"
