Keeping tabs on what's happening around the Big 12 Conference.
Andrew Corbett
The basketball offseason is upon us, which means the portal is open and players are entering at a record pace. As of May 14, there have been over 1,080 scholarship entrees, and 707 of them are already committed somewhere. Bench players are looking for more playing time, starters are jumping ship for more money, and mid-major standouts are looking to play at the next level. Sometimes that's hard to keep track of, so that's what these updates are for. Every week, we will be giving a snapshot of how the portal is treating all of the other Big 12 teams.
Listed will be all 15 – yes, 15 – other Big 12 programs, and whose been added and subtracted via the portal from each of them. Also included will be the players' 247Sports transfer ranking, if applicable, the school they came from and their points per game from last season. With this starting so early, expect a lot of departures, but not a lot of incoming transfers, for now. Any new names this week will be in bold!
