Ranking the top players that entered the transfer portal on Tuesday
March 12 is the date players are able to enter the transfer portal without penalty. However, graduate transfers are able to transfer once their season is over. Monday was the first real day we saw some traction with the transfer portal picking up. While it felt like much more, in all, nine players actually submitted their names into the transfer portal.
To get ahead of things, I wanted to rank the top players who entered the transfer portal on Tuesday, March 7. It should be reiterated only graduate transfers entered the portal.
