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.
This year's transfer window will run for 30 days and close on April 22.

Rankings as of March 24
1. Bryce Hopkins, 6-7, F, Sr., Providence
Hopkins hasn't played a full season since 2022-23 because of injuries, but he earned first-team All-Big East honors as a sophomore and has consistently shown that same ability when healthy. He averaged 15.5 points and 8.6 rebounds in 14 games before sustaining a knee injury in 2023-24.
