The transfer portal closed last Thursday (May 11)- only 5 Division I schools did not lose a single player to the portal-

Here is an interesting case. Ohio State forward Seth Towns entered the transfer portal just before it closed last Thursday. What is different, is that he is seeking an 8th year of eligibility! He was a highly rated recruit when he entered college back in 2016 as a freshman at Harvard. He was the Ivy League Player of the Year as a sophomore in 2018. He spent 4 seasons at Harvard, the last 2 of which were redshirt years that he missed due to injuries. He transferred as a grad-transfer to Ohio State in 2020. He has now been at Ohio State for 3 seasons, only one of which (2020-21) he actually played, due to more injury issues.
So after 7 years in college, he's only played in 3 of those years, is apparently seeking a 4th redshirt year, and hoping to transfer and play one more year. I've never heard of the NCAA being this generous with already 2 and maybe 3 extra redshirt years. If he does qualify for another year, he will be 26 years old before next season begins. This ESPN article claims he could still have 2 more years of eligibility if the NCAA grants redshirt years for all the seasons he's missed, because he would then still have his Covid year.

Scheyer said he was going to change the way Duke recruits after taking over from K and it's apparently working. Not only did Duke not lose any players to the transfer portal, but he also convinced Filipowski, Proctor and Mitchell not to enter the NBA draft and Roach to return for his senior season. They should easily rule the ACC this year.

Murray State's Rob Perry had put his name into the NBA Draft, though he did not enter the transfer portal.
He announced today that he has withdrawn from the Draft, as expected, and will return to Murray State for the 2023-24 season.

https://twitter.com/robin_perry01/status/1658916087700889626

That is a big boost to Murray State. He was their leading scorer with an average of 14.4 ppg last season. He has one more season of eligibility left.

I am sure just about every other university in the country. The same thing allegedly happened to Terrance Shannon, Jr. last year and he ended up at Illinois.

This tells some of the story: https://bleacherreport.com/articles/...deleted-tweets

The whole story allegedly is that Michigan wouldn't accept his credits so I couldn't just transfer in. Which is what led to Dickinson getting pissed because they wouldn't let him take summer classes to then be a grad student.
