The door to the NCAA transfer portal is, for now, closed. Student-athletes who wanted to play next season had until May 1 to enter.

And while plenty of players are still making decisions on where to go, the bulk of transfers have taken place. At this point, it feels safe to declare the biggest additions and subtractions for each team in the Big Ten.

Yesterday, we focused on the biggest pickups each team made from the transfer portal. But the door swings both ways. Today, we look at the most impactful transfer portal losses for each team.

Certainly, not all of them are created equal. This list runs the gamut from grad transfers to up-and-coming stars to quality bench contributors looking for bigger roles.

Minnesota: RB Mar’Keise Irving (Oregon)​

The good news for the Gophers is that Mohamed Ibrahim and Trey Potts will be back next season. The bad news is that left very little room for Irving and Ky Thomas barring injuries, and the latter 2 backs decided to move on.

Irving is already the real deal, breaking the 100-yard mark 3 times in his freshman season. PJ Fleck will certainly wish he was still around in 2023, but from Irving’s perspective, it’s an understandable move.

 


Yeah this one stings. It’s so hard to trust players coming off major injuries as well. Thankfully I think RB is just such an easy position to replace as long as the men up front are moving people.

He was fun to watch and a good back, but it was plug and play last year. We had 5 different guys that were at least adequate when given the opportunity.
