The latest announcements came from (#4) Clarence Rupert, (#14) AJ Ferguson, (#2) Scottie Ebube, (#32) Jarrett Hensley and (#21) Cade Hornecker.
They join (#0) Troy D'Amico and (#30) Kennard Davis, who had previously announced they were entering the portal.
For those players whose teams are not competing in postseason play, like the Salukis, the the 45-day transfer portal officially opened today (Monday).
