Count Kentucky men's basketball head coach John Calipari among those unhappy with the transfer portal.
During a Tuesday appearance on SportsCenter, Calipari compared the transfer portal to players making the jump from college basketball to the NBA after just one season.
"It is one-and-done, too," Calipari said of the portal, according to ESPN's Myron Medcalf. "Everybody was mad about a young player coming in and only staying one year. Well, now we're doing it with older players. It's the same as one-and-done."
Calipari added that numerous players who entered the transfer portal in 2023 have been left without scholarships and that head coaches are holding onto scholarships just in case a highly sought-after transfer becomes available, which also leaves players without scholarships.
