mm67:
“ Is the transfer portal a more popular option for b-ball players than for f-ball players? The HC experience with the transfer portal in basketball has been disheartening for at least one observer.”
The answer is football players, except at Holy Cross.

Academically speaking it's easier for football players to figure the 5th year because they only really need one extra semester as a full time student where as a basketball player needs two. Based solely on HC, MM67 questioned whether basketball players are more likely to enter the portal than football players.
My gut instinct is that HC hoops is a statistical anomaly and we shouldn't assume that other schools are losing 50 percent of their incoming freshmen to the portal without a coaching change.
I can't remember my logic professor's name, but I'm pretty sure he'd say that % of HC hoops transfers > % of HC football transfers does not imply that % of NCAA hoops transfers > % of NCAA football transfers. A stats professor might even say it was not a representative sample

More football players enter the portal than basketball players. As pointed out that should be expected because a football team has about 8 times as many players as a basketball team. I don't think I've seen data that says which sport has a higher percentage of players in the portal

Are we really relying on raw numbers of transfers to try and make this point, and not considering that there are close to 4x more D1 football players than basketball players? 363 D1 basketball teams * 13 players per team = 4,719 basketball players 254 D1 football teams * 90 players per team = 22,860 football players

And so, I repeat:
Hopefully, everyone is "happy" now.

The only thing I care about on the transfer out issue is that HC football has had very few and HC basketball has had way too many.
