The NCAA Transfer portal is open and busy. While there has been movement in the portal, it is surprising that some basketball teams do not have any transfer portal entries in 2025. Aside from discovering these teams, you may wonder what the reason behind this could be. Let’s dissect the details.
Why Some Teams Have Zero Transfer Portal Entries
There are several reasons why some teams have zero transfer portal entries:
- Player satisfaction: A positive team environment could result in zero portal entries. Players who are satisfied with the program will hardly leave their comfort zone.
- Coaching Stability: Another essential factor is the connection with the coach. Players do not want to leave when the coach is connected to the team, builds trust, and provides clear roles for players.
- Sufficient playing time: Regular players will not consider leaving the team.
- NIL: Since their present teams may provide the best NIL opportunities for these players, they might not see the need to move. Moving will only be reasonable if there is a better offer on the ground.
These are some reasons why some teams have had zero portal entries.
