May 1: A Portal Update on a Significant Date
May 1 is a significant transfer portal date for three sports: football, men's basketball, and women's basketball. Here's an update on where things are at today.
The college sports calendars are coming to a head with the Spring Transfer Portal Period, as Wednesday, May 1 arrives. College football players needed to submit their names into the portal by Tuesday night (April 30), and both men’s and women’s basketball players needed to enter their names by Wednesday night (May 1). After entry, players can commit to transfer at any point, with their schools’ enrollment dates serving as deadlines. For players involved in the NBA Draft process, they need to decide on their return by the night of May 29.
Long story short, barring any trickling news (paperwork processing, announcement process, silent departures, etc.) – which will continue to happen throughout the week – the rosters are locked in the morning of May 2 and will solely incur additions.
Let’s take a look at who each program has added and what is left to add.
