This time of year, there are winners and losers virtually every day in college basketball's volatile transfer market.
Old Dominion took one in the loss column Tuesday night, when forward Trey Porter, the Monarchs' top inside player this past season, announced plans to transfer.
The loss of the 6-foot-10, 230-pound Porter, who averaged 13.2 points and 6.2 rebounds, dims the 2018-19 outlook for a team that went 25-7 this year and was slated to return a core of three seniors: point guard Ahmad Caver, guard/forward B.J. Stith and Porter.
Porter made huge strides in 2017-18 and was expected to be the hub of the offense inside, as well as a formidable defensive presence.
