Ranking the top players that entered the transfer portal on Wednesday
March 13 is the date players are able to enter the transfer portal without penalty. However, graduate transfers are able to transfer once their season is over. Monday was the first real day we saw some traction with the transfer portal picking up. While it felt like much more, in all, nine players actually submitted their names into the transfer portal on Monday, followed by seven on Tuesday, and ten on Wednesday.
To get ahead of things, I wanted to rank the top players who entered the transfer portal on Wednesday, March 8. It should be reiterated only graduate transfers entered the portal.
