There are 15 NCAA Division I volleyball matches left this season as the NCAA Tournament heads into Thursday’s round of 16.
And already coaches are telling us that they are dealing with players in the portal ready to leave their current teams and transfer for next year.
Yes, the transfer portal is working overtime.
In this notebook we list all the transfers on the remaining NCAA Tournament teams, give some ESPN info, note some coaching openings, update the NIVC and congratulate West Texas A&M for winning the NCAA Division II national title.
Transfers
Transfers were a huge part of the 2022 season and especially the first two rounds of the NCAA Tournament.
As best as our researcher Dalton Franck could come up with, just 14 of the 64 teams had no transfers and that included just two of the final 16, Stanford and Ohio State.
The others were Rice, Western Kentucky, Washington, Bowling Green, Wright State, Loyola Chicago, Ball State South Dakota, Yale, Samford, Colgate and UMBC.
