The transfer market was formerly just that odd time of year when people could be bought and sold like goods in European soccer leagues. Need some scoring? Splash the cash on Fernando Torres. Need an American yet to fully live up to his billing? Buy... well, any of them. The transfer window is a time where reason leaves the area and clubs buy and sell people in the hopes of making their team better.
That has now come to college basketball here in the states. With the transfer portal now a thing and a free transfer year in place, players are switching teams at the highest rate ever.
