You can add (transferring to D3):

Jonny Ingalls, Northern Michigan (D2) to Calvin (three years)

[nescac1]

Noah Cleveland, unsurprisingly, is quickly snagged by D1 Illinois State.

[nescac1]

Another big name off the board: Jalen Overway to Wisconsin-Green Bay (which had great success this year with D3 transfer Justin Allen, who was their third-leading scorer). 

At this point, the biggest names left to watch are Kye Robinson, Sam Grieger, and Dorian Glogovac, all of whom will almost surely end up in D1, and Jevon Yarbrough, who has explicitly left open the option of returning and may have a slightly tougher time just due to his size.

UPDATE:  There are 60 "eligible" All Region Players. Of the known players in the transfer portal, 16 of them are All Region. 4 are POY in their region (and AA as well), 11 are 1st team, 3 are 2nd team, and 2 are 3rd team.

Kye Robinson back to UMW, they'll have everyone back except for perhaps one player. Time to run it back!

[nescac1]

Wow, I'm stunned Kye is coming back.  He's a bit of an unorthodox player stylistically as stars go, but I still think he could have made a big impact in the right D1 situation.  I wonder if UMW found some NIL money for him?   Kye will likely be the only all-American from the top three D3hoops teams returning, so he will be the consensus preseason pick for national POTY. 

Also with that, UMW will certainly be the unanimous choice for preseason number one next year.  Conference rival Christopher Newport, which brings most of its roster back, may be the unanimous pre-season number two, those game should be very fun.  And my guess is Randolph Macon will be number three.  Another big year ahead for the state of Virginia, which (along with Trinity) has dominated D3 hoops over the past five years.

^^^ RMC will surely NOT be pre-season #3. They do not appear to have lost any underclassmen to the portal, but they graduated some very good players. If all underclassmen return they will surely be good, but there are no All-American type players to suggest they will be a top five pre-season pick.

[nescac1]

Whoops, I was thinking for some reason Pulley was a junior when I wrote that about RMC, so yeah, they do graduate more than I thought.  They do still return 6 of their top 10 from a rotation that went very deep, and seem to be able to year after year just replace guys and stay absolutely elite, but three is probably a bit high, so I retract that.  Maybe Roanoke is the pre-season fave in ODAC rather than them, or it's sort of a co-favorite situation?   

Three then actually seems wide open -- going through the top 15 from this year, Mary Washington and CNU, both loaded, but the rest have HUGE question marks:

Emory - lose two all-American guards; Trinity - lose their top three guys including two all-Americans and the conference DPOTY; Chicago - lose two all-Americans among other key players; St. Thomas - lose two of their top four players (but maybe a better bet for number three than RMC); Illinois Wesleyan - lose all-American big man to the portal, plus another key starter to graduation, but will be highly ranked nonetheless; Tufts - lose all-American forward and an elite center; Gustavus Adolphus - lose a few starters but assuming Barnette returns will be very highly ranked; LaCrosse - lose a ton and will drop heavily, assuming that Grieger gets picked up in the portal; Endicott - loses three starters including all-American Montagnino; Hood - all-American Yarbrough is in the portal, really depends on if he returns; WashU - just lost star Connor May to Yale along with a few solid players to graduation; Wesleyan - I think probably the pre-season favorite in NESCAC but do graduate their all-league PG as well as their starting center.

Article on ESPN that pretty much sounds like the NCAA is going to give 5 years of eligibility and it going to happen by June. But the coach's association wants a say on how it is going to happen.

Not sure I would want either group making this decision.

Going to make next year very interesting.

That's for Division I only.
