per RandBall:
Look: transfers are nothing new. Former Gophers coach Richard Pitino used transfers and ultimately the portal to add to his teams. New Gophers coach Ben Johnson himself transferred from Northwestern to Minnesota, playing two years at each school — with a year where he was ineligible in between.
What's undeniable is that I'm fascinated by the level of player movement that is now possible — particularly as it pertains to the Gophers and Johnson — and how easy it is to track.
You can find a good frequently updated list of men's college basketball players who have entered their names into the transfer portal on 247 sports, though you should note that they are organized by how many "stars" they received in high school recruiting and therefore the order might not give you a full picture of how good they are now.

The transfer portal: What is it — and why is it my new obsession?
The Gophers and new coach Ben Johnson figure to be major players in the transfer market. That's nothing new in the program, but it does seem to be intensifying.
