The transfer portal is more prevalent than ever in college sports. Who’s in and who’s out for the upcoming season of Big 12 basketball?

Perhaps no roster in college basketball has had as much turnover as the Kansas Jayhawks. Hall of Fame head coach Bill Self has taken advantage of the transfer portal, bringing in four players from it while also losing eight.

There will be plenty of unfamiliar faces when the Jayhawks begin conference play. Some schools have brought in four, five, and six transfers over the course of the offseason.

Four Big 12 schools were included in 247 Sports’ transfer portal team rankings, with Kansas being ranked as No. 1. There will be plenty of fierce conference in the conference, especially with the addition of four new schools.

Let’s take a look at how other Big 12 basketball schools have fared in the transfer portal.
