Mizzou basketball coach Cuonzo Martin had a telling answer when asked recently what he thinks of this offseason’s transfer insanity.
“Today, I love it,” Martin said. “We feel like we hit the jackpot in the transfer portal. It’s been good to us.”
Translation: Martin believes he’s going to have a better team exiting the great migration than he did entering it.
Six Tigers have transferred out since the team lost to Oklahoma in the first round of the NCAA Tournament. Four newcomers have transferred in. One open scholarship remains, giving Martin some flexibility in case a desired target pops into the transfer portal later, a wise move considering the madness.
