Easy for him to say he's been at Uconn for 100 years. What about all the coaches that bolt more often, it's pretty much the same thing.

It would really suck if they allowed players to transfer mid-year and play for multiple teams in the same season.

He's not wrong.

I've come to really like Geno.

Skunberg to Illinois State and Sam Hastreiter to Minnesota State - Moorhead

Found this on reddit regarding the MVC. Looking similar to RahRahRabbits' list for the Summit. For reference, 3 coaches were fired and 2 moved on to better positions (which perhaps explains some of the yellow).
Yellow is in portal and gray is no eligibility left

Kendall Holmes in the portal.

Morgan confirmed to be in the portal. Going to be rebuilding time at both ND schools.

Morgan commits to Nebraska. Thought he would go with the home state Gophers.

Unfortunate for NDSU WBB, Elle Evans is in the portal.

Unfortunate for the Summit League as a whole too. NDSU women's basketball has made such positive strides, which was great for the league. I sure hope they can hold the team and the remarkable improvements together in the absence of Elle.

Former Bison, Grant Nelson absolutely took over the game for Alabama in the closing minutes. Knocked off #1 UNC to advance to the elite eight. He scored 12 of the teams final 14 points, and was a monster on defense during several key plays. Happy for these Summit guys to find some success, but obviously concerned for the ideas it will continue to give the rest of the conferences top talent year in and year out. Scheierman playing late tomorrow night to try to punch his ticket too.

I haven't followed him closely, but it seems like Grant had pretty modest stats throughout the season (a few breakout games here and there), and very quiet first 2 1/2 games of the tourney... but sure as heck had a breakout half to finish the game. Good for him...

Potentially interesting observation....19 of the 35 guys that played in the two late games tonight were transfers from other programs, including 12 of the 20 starters. There was plenty of youth around in the non-transfer players, as only 4 of the 16 guys had been with their team more than 2 years. Not sure what to think of it, besides more evidence of the sad state of college athletics... but I guess it is what it is at this point.

I see Iowa State is listed - they already got a commit yesterday from a 6'10 post from the portal.Have to wonder what a kid like JT Rock is thinking after passing up his senior year to get ready to play, and seeing the Cyclones going after all kinds of post players.

JT Rock will be a Jackrabbit at some point...
