UPDATED: We fixed the issue regarding individual SEC school totals. Our apologies on missing this section when updating from last year’s data. Unfortunately sometimes mistakes happen when managing this much data. We appreciate everyone letting us know.
As different as the women’s portal looks this year, the men’s version is even further off of last year.
Last year roster cuts created havoc for the portal. This year it is much more tame. That being said, we are showing about 15% of portal entrants are Designated Student Athletes still looking for a new home. We only have a handful of signings from the spring entrants so far, so we will keep our eyes on that. Remember, there is a difference between a commitment and a signing and the NCAA does not report commitments to the portal.
The biggest appearances on the men’s side this year are Cal Baptist, which is cutting their men’s program, and Youngstown State, where their head coach stepping down.
After all the major roster cuts last year, one stat that stands out is the overall SEC numbers. Where they went from 76 last years to just 13 right now.
