I think this topic deserves to be separate from the Portal Transfer Needs thread. When does it end? It seems that there will be some period after the Final Four is concluded before the transfers are filed. For example, Ohio State’s season just ended and now three have entered the portal...

http://www.startribune.com/lindsay-whalen-s-first-season-as-gophers-coach-is-a-lesson-in-expectations-and-adjustments/505260032/ Michael Rand and Kent Youngblood discuss Whalen's first year so far. Concluding remarks: Youngblood: The Gophers will lose Bell after this season but have a highly...

The other interesting part of the Whalen hire will be impact on attendance. For reference: Non-Conference for 2016-17 was 21,292 with average of 2,662 per game. Conference was 30,072, average 3,759. Non-Conference 2017-18 was 18,169, average of 2,5956 (one less game) and Conference at...
