2024 Transfer Portal news

[bradleyfan124]

They would have had to enter the portal before May 1 (the last date the portal was open) if they wanted to transfer. If they did not enter the portal by May 1, their only college option if they withdrew from the draft is to return to the same school they played for.

Though they would be ineligible for the NBA draft if they withdraw, they could still sign as a free agent with an NBA team, or a NBA Summer League deal, or G-League deal if they didn't want to return to college.

Ok Thanks. Interesting to know

Here is an interesting case.... 6'0" sophomore walk-on guard J.Z. Zaher of Bowling Green put his name into the NBA Draft, and tonight announces he is staying in the draft. - https://x.com/JonRothstein/status/1795934620321452436

J.Z. Zaher averaged only 4.4 points his senior year in high school and received no college offers. He spent his freshman season as a walk-on at Eastern Michigan (2022-23) and played one minute each in 2 games. He played the final minute in Eastern Michigan's game at Bradley when BU clobbered EMU 89-61 and EMU emptied their bench for the final minute.
Box score- https://bradleybraves.com/sports/men...boxscore/21306
He did not score in either game he played in that season.
He transferred to Bowling Green this past season (2023-24), and played in 7 games as a walk-on. He averaged 4 minutes per game, and he totaled 5 points for the season on 1-8 (12.5%) shooting and 2-5 (40%) on free throws.

Final transfer portal numbers 2024

of the 2,035 DI players entering the portal, 22% still have not found a school to enroll & play at

of 1,020 D2 players entering the portal, 61% are left hanging- no landing spot.

Options for them still include waiting it out for a DI offer, or DII, DIII, NAIA or one of the other smaller association schools( ACCA, NCCAA), or juco if eligible. I have seen posts & releases by smaller schools that still have openings or need players, but many do not offer full scholarships.

overall
3,550 entered, 1,990 transferred & enrolled -
35% still uncommitted

This is interesting. I would also like the percentage of athletes that finished obtaining their degree ( even if took 5-6 years) before and after the NIL money took place

These are the latest numbers cited by NCAA

The NCAA Division I Council has voted to shorten the transfer portal windows for FBS and FCS football as well as men's and women's basketball, the NCAA announced on Tuesday. - https://www.espn.com/college-sports/...ansfer-windows

Will these changes will have any effect, or will they will generate more lawsuits against the NCAA?
