Message: [QUOTE="Dillon77, post: 4836868, member: 6620"] I didn't expect a separate thread on this, so I posted the article and a few bullet points on the Transfer Portal thread. Here are some highlights I noted: [B]HerHoopsStats Article Examine Transfers[/B] Some exec. bullet points from the attached article, written by Derek Willis: [LIST] [*]Nearly one in six players on NCAA rosters this season previously played at a different school, according to an analysis of roster data. [*]For Division I players, that rate is closer to one in three. [*]Just 13 D-I teams - not counting the Ivy League - do not have a transfer player on their rosters. [*]Although transfers occur at every level of college basketball, they mostly are a Division I event. More than 1,600 D-I players this season came from another school - more than 32 percent, almost twice as high as the percentage for D-II. [*]While the Sunbelt Conference has the most transfers -- 51.4% (yes, that's more than half) -- The Big 12, with 45.3%, is a standout among the Power 5 conferences; the others’ percentage of transfers range from between 27% (Big Ten) to 36% (SEC). And the Big Ten figure is boosted by Penn State, where three of four players on the roster [URL='https://wbb-rosters-eqvhg5jgga-ue.a.run.app/wbb_rosters/transfers24?_sort=rowid&team__exact=Penn+State']have experience at another school[/URL], the highest percentage of any P5 team. [*]Within the P5 conferences, switching schools in the same conference is a rare event, but that definitely doesn’t apply to the SEC. There are [URL='https://wbb-rosters-eqvhg5jgga-ue.a.run.app/wbb_rosters/transfers24?_sort=rowid&conference__exact=SEC&previous_school_conference__exact=SEC']18 current players[/URL] in that conference who previously played on another SEC team, three times the number of Big Ten players who have moved within the conference. [*]Willis believes, to no one's surprise on this board, that "...the additional eligibility provided by the NCAA during the COVID-19 pandemic has helped make the transfer portal a hotbed of activity."
