UConn, Kentucky among those with big changes through transfers in college basketball's portal window
Two-time reigning national champion UConn is among the teams that have dramatically changed their rosters with transfers during college basketball's open portal window
A few days after winning a second consecutive national championship, UConn coach Dan Hurley posted a photo of himself on social media, lying on the floor and covering his eyes.
The caption read “Day 1 in the portal ...”
Several weeks later, Hurley has added several key pieces as the portal window closes Wednesday, with the Huskies trying to become the first team to win three straight NCAA titles since UCLA's run of seven straight from 1967-73. And they're among numerous major programs shuffling their decks through portal work.
UConn, which could lose all five starters from this year’s title winner, has added former Michigan center Tarris Reed and former Saint Mary’s star guard Aidan Mahaney from the portal. The Huskies also landed top recruit Liam McNeeley, who decommitted from Indiana while the Hoosiers revamp their roster with transfers.
