I haven’t done comparative years, but I’m guessing you are right.Is this a result of covid extra year? If not then NCAA will probably step in to slow it down. I read in the paper there are over 1500 in the MBB portal. Must be driving coaches crazy.
I doubt there is anything available to support or refute this, but I would not be surprised to learn that David Didenko was encouraged to transfer. Maybe even pushed in that direction. We are not above using the rules as others are using them, even when that doesn't absolutely serve the SA's needs 100%.@Buzzbomb @g0lftime IMHO, some of this is players figuring out the portal, some of it is coaches pointing players to the portal (“you’ll find playing time elsewhere, not here”), and some is players looking for a new home after being locked down for COVID.
The way the NCAA seems to work, the second factor is going to grow; programs have a lot more protection than players do, and changes for the player’s benefit seem to convert to benefits for the programs
