Despite the perception that way more players headed to the Portal this year, actually the number
currently stands at a bit fewer than either of the past two seasons, with fully half the players in the portal yet
to find a landing spot.

Yes, prior to 2023, the transfer portal stayed open continuously. But, this year, the NCAA changed the transfer portal rules and imposed strict dates that differ for Fall, Winter, and Spring sports.
For basketball (and all winter sports), the start date was set as the day after the NCAA Tournament selections for each sport. Thus the portal for basketball opened Monday, March 13, and closes tomorrow, May 11.

For football- The transfer portal has a 45-day window in the fall beginning the day after bowl selections are made. There is also a spring portal for football from April 15 to April 30.

Alden Applewhite from Portland to Murray State
Click to expand...

Alden Applewhite is a 6'7" forward who played one season at Mississippi State (2021-22), but played in only 2 games and redshirted. He transferred to Portland and played this past season there (2022-23) as a redshirt-freshman, mostly as a reserve. He averaged 7.7 ppg. He would have 3 seasons of eligibility left at Murray State. However, because this is not his first transfer, he will need a waiver to avoid sitting out next season.

Here are his stats at Mississippi State and Portland-

Here is more about Jarrett Hensley, who just entered the transfer portal yesterday...
He is from U. of Cincinnati. He is a 6'8" junior forward originally from Leavenworth High School (Kansas), and he did a prep year at Link Prep in Branson, MO, where he was rated as a top 150 recruit. He spent one season at North Carolina-Greensboro where he didn't play much and averaged only 1.8 ppg. He transferred to Cincinnati when his coach at UNCG, Wes Miller, took the Cincinnati coaching job, and played the last 2 seasons there, averaging 1.5 ppg in 2021-22 and 2.0 ppg in 2022-23. His 3-point percentage in his 3 college seasons has never been better than 18%. He would only have 1 more season of eligibility left.
