Comings and Goings in the PORTAL: Big East

[Big Mick]

What happened to the Big East in the Portal:

 

[psconn]

Other than Dorka, and impact players? Hopefully in, not out.

 

[chrissaran]

Thirteen transferred in, and twenty-seven transferred out. Not good.

 

[Geew1992]

Did I miss something? Shouldn't Seton Hall be on the list?

 

[Sargassoc]

Thirteen transferred in, and twenty-seven transferred out. Not good.

Half of those are Syracuse.

[TRest]

Thirteen transferred in, and twenty-seven transferred out. Not good.

Not gonna count but a lot of seniors entered the portal because of the free year. Some of those would have ended their careers this year.

 

[ScottCT]

Half of those are Syracuse.

/s

Syracuse isn't in the Big East.

 

[Sargassoc]

Syracuse isn't in the Big East.

Please note the /s

Yes, a little misspelling: I had it as Seaton Hall

 

[UcMiami]

The fifth year is a big part of the portal because a lot of academic seniors are more interested in graduate school than their basketball 'careers'. Syracuse is a good example because almost half of their transfers had already graduated and had little future as basketball players.

Going to a different university for graduate school is pretty standard practice for all students and it is a very different choice being made by a much more mature woman than the choice being made at 17 by HS students.

Not clear that you can draw that conclusion.
If you are losing your top players to better schools then that's bad, but if you're losing your worst players, not so bad.
If I could get 1 transfer from UConn and lose 3 players to D2, I'd take that in an instant.

IN: 9 from P5, 5 from other
OUT: 5 to P5, 16 to other D1, 2 to JUCO

On net, seems like an upgrade in talent.
