about 2,000 — Yes, 2,000! — Division I basketball players visited the Transfer Portal last offseason. With the massive move in and out of the country, of course there were bound to be some players left in difficult spots, but many of them fit right into their new homes and are producing at a high level.
David Cobb actually looks like a wizard when you look back His preseason transfer rankings — Produced by many of the big names at the top of the charts — But now, months into the season, we wanted to revisit the charts with an updated list. See where we started.
I tried to make a top 10 list, but there were too many players worth mentioning, so I put it in the top 20 (with some honorable mentions).
These rankings take into account points scored, rebounds, and assists generated (typical stats), but also the team’s success, the efficiency a player is producing, and the percentage of that player in each team’s grand plan. It also takes into account overall importance. So these rankings are 100% correct. If you disagree, tell yourself you’re wrong and keep scrolling.

Is not … The Council, averaging 17.9 points per game, is Arkansas’ guard-friendly system and serves as the first option for a team that lacks punch without Smith and Brazil. The team has some young pieces that can grow to complement the Council well as the season progresses, but he’s taken the opportunity to do just that, earning an All-SEC berth at the start of the season.

LSU transfer Brandon Murray was one of many reasons surrounding Georgetown’s program and a possible comeback this season. Despite quietly producing at a stellar level, the Hoyas remain the laughing stock of the Big East, now on a 32-game losing streak in regular-season conference games.

Shireman didn’t beat the world as people expected, and Clayton wasn’t in the Big East’s class as many thought during preseason.

I’m here. KU is 12-1 on the year and uses McCullough as a key rebounder, important for a team that doesn’t have enough size in the frontcourt. McCullar has always been a good defender, and that has continued during his tenure at KU, but his rebounding and his 3-point shooting have left him with KU as KU seeks a repeat as his champion in the NCAA Tournament. has become an even more valuable addition.
