Kansas State has 10 players in the portal. Georgia and South Carolina have 9 each. What did we have last year after our coaching change, maybe 5? People were acting like it was the end of our program.

We had 9 or 10 if I remember correctly, not counting walk ons.  TJD, Stewart, Geronimo, Durham, Hunter, Franklin, Brunk, Lander and Thompson if I remember correctly.  I don't recall if Phinisee was.  Galloway and Leal never entered the portal.  TJD, Stewart, Geronimo, Lander and Thompson all decided to leave the portal and come back.  Hunter, Franklin, Brunk, and Durham all left.

TJD never put his name  in the portal

Browsing through my SiriusXM channels, I came across Big 12 radio talking about the portal. Apparently, the NCAA released numbers for 20 and 21. The hosts said 60% of those who entered the portal in 21, either found new homes or went back to their old team. Another 8% became walk-ons. That left almost a third of portal entries without a home. I have not seen the report to verify

Even if true, it might largely be because the the extra COVID year- even with players having the extra year of eligibility a lot of teams might not have had space to keep players around for that extra year so the portal may have been their only option. Plus, I would think there were plenty of graduates from smaller schools that put their name in the portal to see if they might draw some interest from a bigger school, and we’re ok with being done with basketball if not

Coach Scott Davenport of Bellarmine stated on a program out of Louisville that D-1 programs are averaging 4.2 players per team entering the portal. That's crazy!

Latecomer to the portal, but a decent one.  6'2" shooting guard De'Vion Harmon of Oregon in the portal.  Spent his first two years at Oklahoma, starting 45 out of 56 games.  His sophomore year he averaged 12.9 points, 3.4 rebounds, and 2.1 assists.  Shot 48/33/73.  Last year at Oregon averaged 10.8 points, 2.6 rebounds, and 2.1 assists.  Shot 42/37/73.

Hunter and Brunk didn't enter or leave until after the others returned, IIRC.
