Portal trivia --

1,508 players have tested the market since the start of the season, 31 have withdrawn and 455 have now found a new landing spot.

296 of the transfers on the transfer list have transferred at least once before. 123 of those qualify as grad transfers.

Of the roughly 1,000 players still available in the transfer portal, 529 of those averaged less than 3.0 PPG or did not register any statistics this past season.

The truth is that I am sure that quite a few of those 529 that averaged less than 3 ppg -- especially those that did not register any stats -- would be deciding to simply give up basketball as a pursuit or were basically being told that they weren't going to really have a spot on the team next year, especially those at the lower D1 level.   By putting their name into the portal, they may find that they are wanted elsewhere, but if they aren't, they haven't lost anything.....because their plan was to move on from basketball anyway.

Quite a few of the lower end guys in the portal are walkons.  IMO, if you weren't a scholarship player you shouldn't have to put your name in the portal to move on to somewhere else.

EDIT:  SI article below -- says that about 1/3 of all players in the football and basketball transfer portal are walkons.

Anyone else hearing anything about Max Christie being interested in transferring to IU because he is dating Sydney Parrish? Supposedly MSU boards are talking about it.

If that would be the case, Sydney Parrish will be, hands down, the best men's/women's comprehensive IU basketball recruit ever.

FYI: There is a MSU Premium board post from 10:07 last night titled "Max Christie will not be entering the portal - NBA or MSU for him"

He would have to decide by this weekend right? May 1st has to be in the portal to be eligible. Lots of chatter on Peegs about it but I haven't heard it from anyone reliable which means he could be true. :-)

There was a screen shot that said "less than 15% chance he's back at MSU"... idk what the odds were of him going pro. Not sure if that meant 85% going pro..  or what

Portal entry has to happen by May 1st. Portal transfer can take place without sitting after May 1st, as long as the player is in the portal by May1st. NBA declaration is by mid/late June I believe.

She must have something special going for them if true. I know it's been a lot of years, but when I was in college there always seemed to be a lot of fish in the sea.

Or as one of my fraternity brothers called it, bringing a sack lunch to an all-you-can-eat buffet.

She dated Luke Goode (Illinois) in high school and her and Leal regularly comment on each others instagram posts

Just to be clear, I never said that girls can't play the same game that guys do. I have daughters and granddaughters so I know a little about how this works. I never knew if I was supposed to protect the girls from the guys or the guys from the girls.
