TK Smith has entered his name into the transfer portal.
So far in the portal, it's TK Smith, Jakevan Leftridge, Duke Deen, and Desmond Williams.
If we can still hang on to Zay Williams, Odigie, Miles, Punter, and Eugene, then I'll be happy. That would make for a very athletic lineup with great size.

Why are all of these guys leaving? Do they think they're going to get on P5s? They don't want to do the work with HCSC anymore?

Add the fact that Nick and Khalyl are graduating, staff has a challenge to replace 4 players in the regular start/bench rotation. This smells.

On par for this "Participation Trophy" generation. Coach to mean? leave. Not playing? leave Not the big star? leave 2nd team and don't want to work to be 1st team? leave And the final decision...are you 4th team on the men's team? Don some lipstick, grow out your hair, change your name and dominate on the women's team.

Deen and Williams could wind up on another mid-major team. Smith and Leftridge though are going to have some trouble landing on a D1 team.
The portal is just too stacked with star talent this year.

Add the fact that Nick and Khalyl are graduating, staff has a challenge to replace 4 players in the regular start/bench rotation. This smells. I see what you mean... but I also know that Deen and Williams didn't have the combination of size/athleticism to really take the Scott Cross pick-and-roll scheme to another level.
Deen could shoot the 3, but he wasn't able to do much else. Deen had one of the worst 2-point shooting percentages on the team because his height really limited what he could do in and around the paint. Hard to be 5'8" and shoot over 6'8" and 6'10" players with a huge wingspan. He also never got rebounds unless the ball bounced deep off the rim.
Williams just didn't have the weight to be effective at getting through screens or driving through the big bodies in the paint. He got hammered a bunch of times this season on screens. He was the lightest weight starter in the Sun Belt.

There are 350 D1 BB teams. If 13 guys a team that comes to close to 4500 players and at this point 22% are in portal. I think BB players are so use to AAU and different teams that mentality carries over into their college teams. Not only NIL and playing time but simply reshuffling is just normal for these guys. Football is not quite as bad but this idea of going to school is just not that stressed in a good many of their lives as opposed to playing ball. So, shift to another team is just a very normal way of life for a good many. When some are picked up up by teams others will shuffle out as well. Football is still more like the players choosing a sit down restaurant while BB may well be more cafeteria style. That style is I am just passing through and grabbing a bite or two and then gone.
Yep hate it but it is what we have in college sports today.

May see a third of the players in portal when all is said and done. Can you imagine roster building and playing football with a third of your team leaving a year besides the added seniors??!! That would approach about 50% change a year!!
