Men’s and Women’s basketball building through the portal

C. (Photo by John Byrum/Icon Sportswire via Getty Images) | Icon Sportswire via Getty Images The transfer portal in basketball is just as nuts as it is in football. Perhaps even more since there are less roster spots demanding a bigger piece of the pie.

Hell, it’s been reported that the Louisville men just paid two guys almost $10 million combined to come there. I am not sure if the Ole Miss men and women basketball teams even have $10 million combined between the two of them, but that’s not stopping them from going portal shopping. Coach Yo has been aggressive early bringing in players who may not wow you on paper, but she knows what she wants and needs.

The men’s portal is just a big bidding war, so the Rebels won’t be in a hurry to overspend.
