Let’s go to the transfer portal to catch the latest updates in college basketball roster building … and reducing. That’s where we are, with more than 1,700 in the portal as of Thursday morning.

Missouri coach Cuonzo Martin spent most of his meeting with reporters this week discussing the portal and its effects. The Tigers have lost six players, gained three and aren’t finished recruiting there.

In this episode of The Star’s daily SportsBeat KC podcast, you’ll hear from Martin on the game’s transfer culture and other topics involving Mizzou basketball.
