In response to Doktore K
B137-- are the numbers you listed for the last 3 years the count of the student-athletes who have actually transferred from one Division 1 school to any other level?
Or is it a count of the D1 athletes who have entered the transfer portal??
Can you clarify? It seems like a high number for just men's basketball.
It is NCAA stats of the actual number of transfers from D1 schools to any other school (D1, D2, D3, NAIA, Juco, etc). It does seem high - but that is just the reality of college basketball. I think there are a few issues: (a) most D1 scholarship players were HS and AAU stars and aren't happy not getting a lot of playing time at the next level; (2) a lot of guys struggle with the academics; (3) a lot of players
based their college decision solely on the coaches and the basketball program; and (4) too many disciplinary problems.
Here are some additional stats from that NCAA study, which was published in January 2020:
- Number of teams that had no transfers: 58 in 2019, 59 in 2018.
- Number of teams with one: 93, 94.
- Number of teams with two: 90, 78.
- Number of teams with three: 58, 55.
- Number of teams with four: 29, 43.
- Number of teams with five: 23, 22.
The above adds up to 351 schools. If you do the math, based on the above, you get the following numbers of transfers:
58 schools x 0 transfers = 0
93 x 1 = 93
90 x 2 = 180
58 x 3 = 174
29 x 4 = 116
23 x 5 = 115
TOTAL = 678 (for 351 schools)
This gets you close to the 694 figure that they say was the total for 2019 - but comes up slightly short. However there are 353 D1 schools, and the above only gives numbers for 351. So if the two missing ones had a total of 16 transfers, then we'd hit their number right on the nose.
