2026 MBB Transfer Portal Tracker

I’m puzzled that we are celebrating securing a commitment from a player from a different college before the portal even opens and before the date coaches are technically supposed to be able to talk to players from other schools. Isn’t this the exact same thing that Burman and UW coaches were complaining about?!?!?

D2 schools have a 3 day dead period for recruiting. Last year it was November 10-12. Any other time coaches are allowed to contact players. D1 rules and D2 rules are VERY different. There's also no transfer portal window for D2. They can enter at any time.

Thanks for the explanation. Must be even more difficult for a D2 school to manage their roster.

Potentially but from what I can see there is far less roster turnover at D2 as a whole, more guys who are just getting their degrees and playing ball especially with the lack of NIL. Feels similar to how the portal did in 2021/22 before the schools started paying players directly.

This year for example, Lander retained all of their 24/25 scorers of over 5 PPG that didn't graduate/run out of eligibility, and Gannon lost 4 guys over 5 PPG out of 10 who managed it, two went D1 (Merrimack and Siena respectively). One guy transferred to Frostburg which is closer to his home (Alexandria, VA), and the last one just went to Chaminade, if Hawaii is on the table I guess. These are the national finalists despite Lander being .500 last year and Gannon didn't escape their regional. Hopefully we can get mid major college sports back to a point like this sooner than later where roster turnover is under 80% or whatever the hell it is now

The tallest player to ever play the game is going to get PAID. No way in hell he lands in Laramie.

There's a small chance, mostly due to big schools maybe not wanting to take a chance on him considering he can kinda move, is big, and can't really do any other basketball things. I see him landing in a conference like the A10, MW, Pac, WCC, or MVC. Would he stay if he performs? Likely not but that seems to me his best option to play and develop

Stymeman--I am with you. I lived for the Pokes, but not so much now. Turned in my 50 yd line tixs and cancelled any more $$$ to CJC--If I go to a game, I will just walk up an purchase tixs or go sit in the student section.
