Transfer Portal Intel: Early schools to watch for players on the move

The NCAA Transfer Portal doesn't officially open until April 7th, but over 800 players have already signaled their intentions to move, and the market is moving fast. With the window lasting just 15 days this cycle, decisions will come quickly, and the programs that do their homework early will have a major advantage.

One name already off the board: Belmont sharpshooter Tyler Lundblade, who committed to Tennessee yesterday. The 6-foot-5 grad transfer averaged over 15 points per game this season and shot better than 40% from three, giving Rick Barnes a legitimate offensive weapon heading into next year.

But Lundblade is just the tip of the iceberg. On3's Joe Tipton has been working his sources across the country and has early intel on some of the most coveted players in this portal cycle, including a top-five center, an AAC All-First Teamer, and more. Hit the link below to see who's trending where.
