Are we seeing the transfer portal starting to show a benefit towards mid-majors/ non power schools? Look at who is currently still in the tournament. That’s teams have benefitted from the transfer portal also have players who are older and more experienced. SDSU has 4 guys who are 5th year players. Gonzaga is another one. I also think the extra Covid year has benefitted teams outside of the blue bloods because they are still recruiting the 5 star HS kids who are still 19yr olds. Already starting to see people complain about the blue bloods not being in it right now and how the tournament is diluted right now. Could see this year being a focal point for them starting their own tournament. Also what a golden opportunity for who is still in it… no number one seeds left in the elite 8, makes it a legit shot to make it to the title game.
