  • Destination of 2019 NCAA Division I Men's Basketball Transfers
    DESTINATION OF 2019 NCAA DIVISION I MEN’S BASKETBALL TRANSFERS January 2020 Summary of Findings Although the Division I Transfer Portal opened in October 2018, there was no substantial change in the number of transfers in Division I men’s basketball from 2018 to 2019. Consistent with the past four years of transfer data, about half of men’s basketball transfers remain in Division I, while a quarter transfer to Division II and a quarter transfer out of the NCAA (NAIA, NJCAA, etc.). Fewer than 1 in 10 are “up transfers” (transferring to a more prestigious program), while about 30% are “lateral transfers” and 60% are “down transfers.” This pattern has remained consistent over time. Of those men’s basketball transfers remaining in Division I, nearly one third are so-called “graduate transfers.” This percentage has remained relatively consistent over the past four years. Graduate transfers are more likely to “up transfer” than undergraduate transfers in men’s basketball. Identifying 2019 Transfers in Division I Men’s Basketball Transfers were identified by merging the 2019 Division I Basketball Transfers list from the Verbal Commits website (downloaded Sept. 15, 2019) with all Division I men’s basketball student-athletes listed in the 2018-19 Transfer Portal. List destination accuracy was determined primarily through: The “matriculated” institution listed in the student’s status field in the Transfer Portal. 2019-20 men’s basketball roster of destination institution and/or student-athlete bio. Secondary sources: • NJCAA National Letter of Intent Signee Database. • Official press releases from either/both institution(s). • Transfer student-athletes’ Twitter feed or other social media footprint (Facebook, LinkedIn, etc.).

It’s our sixth year of operation and it looks like our theme for the year will be growth. In March, the Pentagon hosted 59 postseason college basketball games. Among those were three national championships – the fi rst ever combined NCAA Division II men’s and women’s Elite Eight, as well as the NAIA Division II men’s championship. The NAIA then honored the Sanford Sports Complex with its annual Best NAIA Championship Venue Award. The award is a testament to the facility and our incredible sta that make it come to life. This spring ushered in several big announcements about new additions coming to the Complex. The Summit League announced the relocation of its headquarters to Sioux Falls, a more centralized location within the organization’s footprint. We are proud to welcome them to Sioux Falls. Will’s Training Table is undergoing an extensive remodel this year. When it reopens in February the destination restaurant and bar will have more than doubled in size. The Complex is a hub of activity, and that will only continue with the addition of a 180,000-square-foot Mills Fleet Farm store and Great Shots, a new golf entertainment facility.
