On a recent scholarship math post I did some light digging into the number of games and minutes played by each returning player. Turns out Missouri has three players over 2800 minutes played and over 125 games played. Truly a remarkable number, as we’re nearing the end of the COVID bonus era of college basketball.
Looking at Missouri’s experience going into the season inspired me to expand my search a bit. Since the Tigers aren’t the only team leaning into the transfer portal, clearly everyone is doing it.
With the league expanding to 16 teams, there are 15 other teams who are actively using the transfer portal.
