Georgetown freshman Denver Anglin to enter transfer portal

Georgetown freshman Denver Anglin plans to enter the NCAA transfer portal, he told On3.

The 6-foot-1, 185-pound guard originally from Montclair, N.J. did not see much playing time this year for the Hoyas, averaging only 7.1 minutes per game and scoring 1.4 points per outing.

According to the On3 Industry Ranking, Anglin was rated as a four-star recruit and ranked No. 107 overall in the class of 2022. He was also the No. 16 overall combo guard and the No. 3 recruit in the state of New Jersey.

Coming out of high school, Anglin received offers from Northwestern, Providence, Stanford, Brown, UConn, Miami, Seton Hall, Penn State, and others to go along with Georgetown.

Anglin’s statement

“I want to thank my family and everyone who has supported me throughout this process. I also want to thank Georgetown for the opportunity provided to me to experience higher education at a prestigious university and in an awesome city.
After much consideration I am planning to enter the transfer portal to explore additional opportunities to continue to further my basketball career.
As athletes we put in a lot of work and commitment. This is more than just a game, it’s life. I wish all my teammates continued success.”

Transfer portal background information

The NCAA Transfer Portal, which covers every NCAA sport at the Division I, II and III levels, is a private database with names of student-athletes who wish to transfer. It is not accessible to the public.

The process of entering the portal is done through a school’s compliance office. Once a player provides written notification of an intent to transfer, the office enters the player’s name in the database and everything is off and running. The compliance office has 48 hours to comply with the player’s request and that request cannot be refused.

Once a player’s name shows up in the portal, other schools can contact the player. Players can change their minds at any point and withdraw from the portal. However, once a player enters the portal, the current scholarship no longer has to be honored. In other words, if a player enters the portal but decides to stay, the school is not obligated to provide a scholarship anymore.

The database is a normal database, sortable by a variety of topics, including (of course) sport and name. A player’s individual entry includes basic details such as contact info, whether the player was on scholarship and whether the player is transferring as a graduate student.

A player can ask that a “do not contact” tag be placed on the report. In those instances, the players don’t want to be contacted by schools unless they’ve initiated the communication.

The portal has been around since Oct. 15, 2018 and the new calendar cycle within the portal begins each August. For example, the 2021-22 cycle started Aug. 1. During the 2020-21 cycle, 2,626 FBS football players entered the transfer portal (including walk-ons). That comes after 1,681 entered during the 2019-20 cycle and 1,709 during the abbreviated 2018-19 cycle. In comparison, 1,833 Division I basketball players entered the portal during the 2020-21 cycle after totals of 1,020 in 2019-20 and 1,063 in 2018-19.
