transfer portal is growing rapidly. 2 more from the A-10: Rodney Chatman (Dayton) and Greg Calixte (GMU; who's left there? maybe their new coach brings some).

Also today Lawrence Foreman (PF; 6'9" 235 lbs.), a former Woodstock player who went to Rider and hardly played at all there in his just finished freshman season

Here's an update, although it might have changed since I started typing.
Davidson - 3
Dayton - 2
Duq - 2
Fordham - 1
GMU - 7
GW - 8
LaS - 5
UMass - 1 (+ Carl)
URI - 1
Richmond - 1
SLU - none
SJU - 1
SBU - 3
VCU - 1
An interesting name came into the portal today. Seth Pinkney from QPac. We offered him a few years ago. He went prep at Montverde and his recruiting slowed down. He backed up Marfo 2 years ago and became a starter this year. He's 7 feet and can block shots.

Does anyone know how long this transfer portal goes on? I would hate to think that someone could decide to enter it in say Sept. or Oct.

The transfer portal is on going at all times. Most guys enter it after the season is over however guys have stopped playing mid season and entered the portal. I believe a couple players (not at UMass) have entered the portal mid season and continued to play for their current team

Javohn Garcia will be back next year

Most of it is well educated speculation... he's pretty well tuned in.

Chris Baldwin is transferring. Don’t think he comes back to UMass but I think he’ll end up somewhere closer to home this time.

We have a hockey player doing that right now. He has Carvy's blessing.

The Grad Transfer rule made the 3 college thing possible, but even then it wasn't happening often. The pandemic is really the thing spurring it on, so assuming we're back to normal with the transfer rules next year, this won't continue at this level.

3 more years of this. Everyone who was in college this year has the option of a 5th season.

That's right, my mistake on the timing of the rule. With that said, it will phase out and the levels should go down.

GMU just lost their top scorer, Miller to the portal. Their top 4 scorers (all double figures) are now in the portal and 3 of them were their leading rebounders as well. They now have 8 transfers.
