Syracuse basketball, so far this off-season, has seen multiple players transfer out of the program, as well as several transfer in, part of the sport’s free-agency explosion resulting from the NCAA’s new transfer policy.

According to an abundance of media reports, more than 1,000 college basketball players have entered into the transfer portal, brought on at least in part by the NCAA allowing student-athletes in all sports to transfer once while still retaining immediate eligibility.

It’s a seismic shift for college basketball, and one that isn’t likely to go away.
