Despite the Final Four still ahead, this college basketball offseason has already proven to be a transfer frenzy.
There are over 1,000 players college basketball players are currently in the transfer portal, looking to find better opportunities next season. With seniors having extra eligibility and the clocks being paused on all other athletes, it makes sense for players to test the waters and see what they can find.
Maryland men’s basketball had its first portal attrition Wednesday with 7-foot-2 center Chol Marial announcing he plans to transfer, which was expected. This move leaves the Terps with two open scholarship spots for next season, even with two freshmen coming in and the options for Darryl Morsell and Galin Smith to return — Reese Mona has already announced that he won’t be coming back.
