The Horizon League’s season ended on Monday (March 20th) with Milwaukee’s 76-65 loss to Charlotte in the College Basketball Invitational, and preparations for 2023-24 are officially underway for all 11 Horizon League schools.
In recent years, the transfer portal has become a huge difference-maker. Tristan Enaruna became a First Team All-Horizon League performer in his first season in the league after spending his first three seasons playing in the Big 12. Youngstown State won its first ever Horizon League Regular Season Championship, thanks largely to the impact of three newcomers acquired through the portal and First Team All-League guard Dwayne Cohill, a portal addition from a season prior.
Here’s a look at each school’s commitments and departures in the transfer portal:
