College basketball’s ‘lawless, cesspool’ transfer portal must be fixed

John Fanta College Basketball Broadcaster and Reporter <!--> --> On Thursday, we got wind of the latest batch of transfer portal news in what has become a never-ending cycle. Memphis star and All-American guard PJ Haggerty entered the portal.

Combine that chaos with the April 22 deadline to enter the portal — you can expect some at-the-buzzer drama with what […]

John Fanta College Basketball Broadcaster and Reporter <!--> There is no offseason in college basketball. In fact, it's open season across the country, with bidding wars fully revved up and coaches trying to make big splashes to be in contention a year from now. As millions of dollars are being poured into programs from donors and then being spent on the big fish in the portal, it bears noting that, in the midst of chaos, this year's national championship game featured a Florida team that returned six of its top nine scorers from the previous season and a Houston program that has been notorious for roster continuity under Kelvin Sampson, having taken just one transfer in 2024. It's not to say home run portal additions don't exist, because Houston notched Milos Uzan and Florida reeled in Alijah Martin from the portal, […]
