As we have done every year, the HoriZone Roundtable compiles a list of the players entering and existing their respective teams. Even though the transfer portal doesn’t officially open until the end of the NCAA Tournament, player will undoubtedly not wait that long to announce their intentions. So, as a result, when a player announces that they’ll be entering the portal, we’ll add their name to the Transfer Tracker. Naturally, should they change their mind before the portal officially opens (or anytime afterwards), we’ll remove them from this list.

Throughout the transfer portal era conference teams have benefitted from incoming players via the portal, and that trend continues in this past season, with the most notable transfers being Brody Robinson and Michael Houge from Oakland, Albert Vargas and Nikos Chitikoudis from Robert Morris, Kael Robinson and Donovan Oday from Northern Kentucky, and a majority of the rosters for Cleveland State, Youngstown State and IU Indy.

While Northern Illinois does not officially join the Horizon League until July 1st, its transfers in and out will be included on this tracker this year.

Here’s a look at each school’s commitments and departures in the transfer portal (Cumulative D1 career stats courtesy of Sports Reference CBB; non-D1 stats from school and other sources. juco stats not included):
