Perhaps early but with the portal open today:

If their message board is correct, Toledo currently has only three players who HAVEN'T put their names in the portal.

I don't blame the players, might as well see if there are any buyers out there for your services. Toledo - MAC schools may have to go the Drake route, find some D2 players. There are some good bball players in the lower ranks just to have to dig for them.
 
I really think IU made the worst hire of any of the power conference schools. I think even Iowa & Minnesota ended up with better coaches.
 
Harlan Obioha, a towering 7-foot center from UNC Wilmington, has committed to play basketball for West Virginia University (WVU). This move marks the first recruitment by WVU's new head coach, Ross Hodge. Last season, Obioha averaged 9.0 points and 6.2 rebounds per game, showcasing his high basketball IQ, impressive passing skills, and energetic play style. His commitment to WVU was confirmed by his agents and reported across various sports news outlets.
 
Nick Boyd, a transfer guard from San Diego State, has committed to the University of Wisconsin's basketball team. Boyd, who previously played at Florida Atlantic University and was part of their 2023 Final Four team, brings significant experience with an average of 13.4 points, 3.9 rebounds, and 3.9 assists per game from his last season at San Diego State. His choice to join Wisconsin was influenced by the team's offensive strategy and the coaching staff's reputation. This transfer is part of Wisconsin's broader strategy to strengthen their guard position, having also added players like Andrew Rohde from Virginia. The move has been met with enthusiasm, with many noting Boyd's potential to enhance the Badgers' performance in upcoming seasons.
 
A lesson learned from this year's tournament I guess, strong guards will carry you. Nearly the rest of the team can be role players but that guard better be a star and better be able to go 40 minutes.

Purdue being tauted as favorite next year. Lost their entire wing to the portal, have no one to keep a team like those in the final 8, off the boards, and outlets are still calling them the favorites. Renn supposedly this year demanded minutes and scoring opportunities or he was going to draft or portal. Kid can be a head case for sure (as can Smith and Loyer) so getting in quality strong forwards willing to play second fiddle is going to be a con-man's game.

I like Florida again. That coach designs against the opponent. Puts a chameleon on the floor, you're not sure who you're going to get. Painter simply says, this is our best, beat it.

Kaleb Glenn Transfers to Michigan State Basketball

Kaleb Glenn, a 6'7" forward who previously played for Florida Atlantic University and hails from Louisville, has transferred to Michigan State University's basketball team. Last season, Glenn averaged 12.6 points and 4.8 rebounds per game, showcasing his athleticism, shooting efficiency with a 41% three-point range, and versatility on the court. His move to the Spartans is expected to significantly enhance their lineup, bringing both his skills and experience playing with some current MSU players.
 
Acaden Lewis Decommits from Kentucky

Acaden Lewis, a top-25 basketball recruit and four-star point guard, has decommitted from the University of Kentucky. Lewis, who had initially committed to Kentucky, decided to explore other opportunities, stating the decision was made in the best interest of his future. Lewis had previously considered other top programs like Duke, North Carolina, UConn, and Michigan.
 
Baylor loses every player on this year's roster.

The college basketball transfer portal officially opened on March 24 and will not close until April 22. According to a report by Front Office Sports, over 2,000 NCAA Division I men's basketball players have entered their names into the portal, which equates to about 35% of all players.


While this has impacted teams differently across the country, few teams have felt it more than the Baylor Bears. Following the decision by starting center Josh Ojianwuna to enter his name into the portal, the Bears will not have a single returning player from the 2024-25 roster, as revealed by 247Sports' Foster Nicholas.
