How the NCAA s new transfer rules are changing recruiting and creating chaos in college basketball

There is havoc in men’s college basketball, a diaspora of players leaving programs that shows no sign of ending soon.
Roughly one out of every three players who donned a uniform this past season has entered the NCAA’s transfer portal. That’s over 1,600 players, enough to field about 120 teams, and some believe that number could still swell to double the total from a year ago when the portal had over 1,000 entrants for the first time.
The reasons are clear: the NCAA’s decision in October to grant an extra year of eligibility to all current student-athletes, coupled with a more recent ruling that allows players to transfer one time without penalty. While the rule changes were meant to benefit student-athletes, they have created chaos.

For the second time in two days, Seton Hall added a key transfer, this time with the addition of former South Florida forward Alexis Yetna.
The 6-foot-8 Yetna is a 23-year-old French native who averaged 9.5 points and 7.3 rebounds last season for the Bulls. He committed to Seton Hall over Oregon, Arkansas and Miami on Wednesday, one day after NJ Advance Media broke the news that the Pirates were adding former Syracuse point guard Kadary Richmond. Seton Hall also added former American University and Patrick School guard Jamir Harris via transfer two weeks ago.
