Purdue lost.  Added 6 freshman, lost Edey and Gillis.

Nebraska I would say came out as a winner except they are losing Mast for the year due to injury.

Michigan is TBD in my opinion.  Everybody left.

For those of us who don’t have the time to do the digging ourselves, can someone post a team by team breakdown of the portal additions for each team?

But based on portal only, Pudroo only lost Gillis (and didn't add anyone). That's basically inactive.

Michigan? Holy crap they cleaned up: Lost a culture killer in McDaniels, and two talented "never-turned out" guys in Williams and Reed. Gained? A Final Four starting post in Goldin, a tourney-starter post in Wolf, a pretty good guard in Gayle, a high-potential three year P5 wing in Walters, and Auburn's sometimes starting point in Donaldson. That. Is. A. Haul.

Yep.  Agree on Michigan. Purdue is a development program and added some really good scouted talent among those incoming freshman.  Can’t count Painter out but I can’t wait to see an Edey-less Purdue.  He was so dominant.

Puredoo also some toughness with LJones and Gillis gone.

He is awful. If I remember correctly his AAU stats were really underwhelming, like 3-4 ppg. No Idea how we was a top 50ish recruit for most of high school. Made sense that Archie worshipped him though.

to stay on track... I am really surprised at what OSU lost. It was almost the opposite of what people expected. You figure they hire Diebler so they can keep the roster together, instead two of their best players leave. Not sure they came out ahead, but we will see.

Yeah, that's a win for them. I'll miss him, personally.

His AAU stats were terrible. Averaged 3 ppg and shot worse than 20% on Team Renaissance with RJ Davis and Jonathan Kuminga. He averaged 26 ppg in Pittsburgh and was the Pennsylvania POY his senior season. Guessing Pittsburgh HS basketball is extremely bad.

On3 does portal ratings where they compare players gained to players lost.  Average score would be 0:

IU 23

Michigan 22

Nebraska 21

Washington 13

Maryland 13

USC 9

Illinous 7

Notthwestern 7

Purdue -5

Rutgers -7

Penn State -7

Michigan St -7

Ohio St -8

Iowa -9

Wisconsin -14

Minnesota -17

will have to dig for Oregon and UCLA

Analysis on Penn State's offseason. I think they kept a core that will keep them competitive next year, and it will be interesting to see how the additions fit together with the returning core.
