Message: [QUOTE="huskymedic, post: 3243905, member: 549"] Some more info from D1 on G5 programs: >>...[URL='https://d1baseball.com/stories/inside-the-ncaas-transfer-portal-group-of-five/']the Sun Belt leads the charge with 42 transfers, followed by the American with 40, Conference USA with 36, Mid-American with 19 and the Mountain West with 16.[/URL] [B][SIZE=4]PORTAL NOTES:[/SIZE][/B] • Any player not on athletic aid may now transfer without sitting out. That change occurred when the NCAA Transfer Working Group amended bylaw 14.5.5.2. While the term used for those players is “walk-on”, it’s worth noting that players who are receiving need-based aid (but not athletic aid) may also now transfer without sitting out. It’s a rule change that’s gaining steam in discussions around college baseball. • The team/portal figures below include any players who entered the portal from Fall 2018 thru Summer 2019. With classes beginning in a couple of weeks for most, there’s a chance some players drop off the list and choose to return to those programs, while other programs might actually add to their tallies. The portal only includes players leaving programs. • It’s worth noting the tallies below include graduate transfers, which can skew a program’s transfer total. The portal can also include anyone who tried out for a team in the fall, or who was a walk-on during the fall (no matter the amount of days practiced). • One last note: There have been some occurrences where players who have attended one-day tryouts have been entered into the portal as walk-ons at a particular program. We’ve been monitoring and skimming through those names to ensure accuracy. • The portal includes 1,099 names at the Division I level with 153 hailing from one of the five Group of Five conferences.<< [B][SIZE=4]AMERICAN[/SIZE][/B] Wichita State — 10 Tulane — 6 UCF — 6 Cincinnati — 4 [COLOR=rgb(255, 0, 0)]Connecticut — 4[/COLOR] Houston — 4 East Carolina — 3 Memphis — 2 South Florida — 1 TOTAL: 40 • It’s certainly worth noting that the Shockers had turnover in the offseason with the departure of head coach Todd Butler and the addition of Eric Wedge. Coaching changes can often tilt someone’s transfer total to a higher direction. • One of UCF’s transfers, electric outfielder Ray Alejo, was a graduate transfer and is headed to Texas A&M this fall. Again, as we mention above, grad transfers can often skew totals a little bit. UCF also lost Dallas Beaver to South Carolina.<< [/QUOTE]
