Players to know from Day 1 of the College Basketball Transfer Portal — including 2 McDonald's All-Americans – 247Sports
The College Basketball Transfer Portal officially opened Monday and to the surprise of exactly nobody, players entered in droves. Thanks to firings that allowed players to enter before the official opening and several programs declining postseason bids to get a jump start on portal season, the portal already has already seen 400 players enter, including a first-day record 291 Monday.
The race to go portaling isn’t going to end soon and the only thing keeping it from being more out-of-control thus far is the players on the 68 teams still set to play in the NCAA Tournament and those playing in the NIT and other postseason events (with the exception, so far, of an NC State reserve).
With those caveats, opening day still produced two former McDonald’s All-Americans – Brandon Garrison of Oklahoma State and Andrej Stojakovic of Stanford — and literally hundreds of others deciding they need a new home.
There’s still much more to come, but no matter how you want to slice it the first 24 hours of the portal provided plenty of fireworks and to start the day off we want to look at some of the biggest storylines, scoop and notes from the first official day of transfer action.
