The top 25 men's players to enter the transfer portal on Day 1

More than 750 players entered the portal when it opened Monday. Here are the top available names.

"It didn't take long to see the effects of the NCAA's decision to push back the start date of the men's basketball transfer window by one week.

Last year, there were nearly 300 names in the portal on the first day. It was a record-setting number ... that got absolutely shattered by 2025's opening day.

More than 750 men's basketball student-athletes entered their names into the transfer portal when it opened Monday. Seven hundred and fifty. Combined with the 226 players who were already in the portal because of a coaching change or having status as a graduate transfer -- for which portal window rules don't apply -- and we ended the opening Monday hovering around 1,000 names in the transfer portal.

For context, last year's total when the portal closed was around 2,100."

Sophomore year was at a junior college--not quite the same as vcu's Bamisile or Clark 4 Div 1 teams in 5/6 years.

assuming he does transfer - it is still 4 programs in 4 years
regardless of level
how does one graduate from college with a degree with all that moving around?
and once your athletic eligibility is used up, how do you pay for college?

Not to be pedantic, but, up until the House settlement becomes "law", schools don't offer players NIL money. When it does become "law", money from the schools will be considered revenue share.

NIL money comes from business or collectives, typically. Due to the few restrictions that the NCAA currently has on NIL (pre-House settlement), anything more than a 1 season NIL agreement would not make sense (can't require them to actually go to a specific school). So, it is the unintended consequences of the NCAA restrictions, once again, that has created some (maybe most) of the churn we currently see.

Under House Settlement, I believe that multi-year agreements are feasible. I haven't seen anything that would preclude them. I am hopeful that we will start to see multi-year agreements.

I know OM and the Grove Collective have utilized some of these, specifically for QB's

Good point. As to your last point, I know that of a Green Coat Society/retired faculty member who earmarked their donation to cover tuition for those players in good academic standing who had used up their athletic eligibility.

it still could be. kids hop in the portal all the time and think they are going to get what they want and it fails. Dion Smith, LSU transfer wanted to go to OM. His credits were messed up, Ole Miss offered him a scholly, had to pull it because they couldn't get the credits to transfer. He ended up at Grambling or something but he's a 1st round talent receiver. These kids get bad advice all the time or just get greedy. Thats why so many end up not having a home

Not saying you’re wrong. But as close as he is with Bialkoski, and coming off a first-team all-A10 selection, I can’t believe he’d risk being left out in the street if the situation was so dire that he might not be able to get enrolled anywhere else.

Really the amount of tall guys and pure centers that Curran was following should have been a sign that Haynes was on his way.
