College Basketball Transfer Portal Begins Tuesday

I think it is odd that the transfer portal  begins
in the middle  of March Madness however
college football  transfer begins during
college bowl  games too. College football  
will have another round in April  during teams
spring  practices.

Washington  Huskies  are looking into the
transfer portal  to  find six players that can
help their squad. The Huskies  have three
starters who are still on their roster. Zoom 
Diallo  is still expected to return as he recently 
signed a NIL.  Not sure of the other two. 

Recently  the WSU  Cougars  had Isaiah  Watts
and Nate Calmese  enter the transfer  portal. 
Having two other starters out of eligibility leaves
one left at this in LaJuan Watts who was the 
team's  leading rebounder. Not sure how many
players the Cougars will look into the transfer
portal themselves  they will have to replace at
least four guys at this time. Even with incoming
freshmen the portal  will  still needed  since
they will  be playing another season in the tough
West Coast Conference.  

This season  St.Mary's  and  Gonzaga were the
only team's to make the NCAA Men's Tournament 
from the WCC  and they both lost in the second
round so they will look to improve as well as the
other teams. This won't  be easy for the Cougars
even if Isaiah Watts and Nate Calmese were
coming back.

Sophomore  Dusty Stromer one of the top
reserves on the Gonzaga Bulldogs  announced
he is going into  the transfer portal on Tuesday.
He is one the Huskies and Cougars could
look at to transfer. Both teams want to get
better.  The Bulldogs  though have four 
starters that are graduating and no news about
Braden Huff who became a starter in the last
four games and Graham Ike who has another
year  of eligibility left. The Bulldogs  could
look at seven players transferring  in. 

We wish a lot to all three programs along
with the players staying and leaving. We
wish the best those whose college careers
are done and the future in basketball or
whatever they do.
