Transfers/Seniors with Remaining Eligibility

[Greek Tragedy]

Regarding Will Bartoszek. For what it's worth, this article states, "after his final season at HSU..." That obviously makes me think he's not returning. No idea about grad programs, if they offer them.

Huge pickup for Calvin's MBB. Parker Swartz, who will be a third-gen Knight, will transfer in after spending his freshman season at D2 Ohio Dominican. Coach Bill Sall heavily recruited Parker during his days at GR Northview. He's an athletic 6-7 and he'll arrive at the campus where his grandfather Ed Wiers was all All-MIAA basketball player in the late 1960s and early 1970s, as was his mother Stephanie Wiers in the mid-1990s on the Calvin women's squad. Parker will be a sophomore with three years of eligibility remaining.

Latest updates included.  Some big winners so far, when you look at 5th years returning plus transfers of consequence coming in, include Trine, Calvin, Case Western, Platteville, Stevens Point, CNU, and Mount Union.

On the other hand, John Hopkins, Worcester State, Conn College, Catholic, Carnegie Mellon, UT-Dallas, Whitewater and WPI have all suffered big losses to the portal (either losing multiple players of note, or losing guys with multiple years of eligibility remaining). Hartford wins the most chaotic award for, it seems likely, a slew of players coming in and going out. 

NYU and Case Western are the schools to watch as I expect both to potentially pick up more players in the portal.  Plenty of big name players have yet to announce a destination, including Brody Fox, Octavio Brito, Jai Deshpande, Justin Allen, and Davidson Hubbard, all of whom seem like D1 transfer possibilities.

I believe that The Citadel is the first D1 school to ever take two high-profile D3 transfers in one year - John Adams and Brody Fox.  Both guys have a similar profile, D3 all-Americans who clearly have D1 size, strength, and athletic ability, but who need work on their perimeter game.  If they focus in the off-season on improving their outside shooting (only 16 combined 3 point makes for their careers, and neither is a great foul shooter for their position), they can make a big impact at that level. 

[Stretch4]

6'6" forward Logan Scott has transferred from Vassar to Stevens as a grad student. Likely not a major scoring impact, but brings plenty of physicality, rebounding and defense. Quality player who adds depth to the Stevens front court with an opportunity to play alongside one of D3's top big men.

Great stuff, nescac1. We all appreciate the work you do.

[nescac1]

Thanks Greek, appreciate that!

Mercyhurst, which just moved to D1, has signed two former Catholic players - Jesse Hafemeister and Tommy Kelly.

Dorian Davis from Mary Washington, who averaged 10.7 points in 26 games, transferring to Shenandoah (D3).

[FCGrizzliesGrad]

Kendall Cave from Earlham headed to UNC-Wilmington (D1). Started 17 games as a freshman for the Quakers and averaged 11.3 points and 5.8 rebounds a game

Luke Ogle from Mary Baldwin going to Southwest Baptist (D2). Started 27 games as a sophomore averaging 9.6 points and 6.6 rebounds a game.

Jojo Anderson from Whitworth is headed to Idaho (D1). Started 23 games as a junior averaging 17.7 points a game.

[nescac1]

Thanks.  I've added these as well as a few others I've dug up over the past week.  We are up to at least 21 D3-to-D1 transfers now (likely more given what is not known).  Of those, I'd say at least 12, and as many as 17, are scholarship players.  Although many of these are COVID transfers, eight are guys who would have eligibility (usually multiple years) left even without COVID, and this is going to be a new normal I suspect going forward, with how the portal now dominates college basketball recruiting.  D3 coaches at the highest levels are going to have to spend a lot of time recruiting their own young superstar players to stick with the program when scholarship teams come calling, which was never a real concern before the last few seasons.
