While the Final Four teams prepare for Saturday’s semifinals, the other 358 NCAA Division I men’s basketball programs are fixating on the transfer portal.
Missouri made an early score with Colorado State transfer John Tonje. SLU is looking to add several players and start over. Illinois’ shopping list got longer Tuesday when freshman guard Jayden Epps announced his plan to leave.
Almost every program will lose or force players into the portal. Some are suffering massive losses — and St. Francis (Brooklyn) lost its entire program after the school dropped athletics.
