The college basketball transfer portal is open for business. Now that a national champion has been determined, it'll become the main focus for just about every team in the nation, too.
Let's take a look at the top players in the portal and transfer moves so far this offseason before the window closes on April 22:
April 13
Michigan State G Tre Holloman transfers to North Carolina State

Holloman committed to the Wolfpack for his senior season after three years with the Spartans. He started the first 16 games of this past season, before freshman Jace Richardson took his place. Still, Holloman was a key contributor to Michigan State's Elite Eight run. Even though Richardson declared for the NBA Draft, Holloman decided to go to NC State to help usher in the Will Wade era. Wade took the Wolfpack's head coaching position after two seasons at McNeese and has already constructed a quality backcourt of Holloman, Quadir Copeland, and Alyn Breed through the transfer portal.

Michigan State F Xavier Booker transfers to UCLA
Booker struggled to find the court on a deep Spartans team, but he should have a role for the Bruins, who just lost Aday Mara.

Heide played limited minutes in his two seasons at Purdue, but was crucial as a floor-spacer hitting 41.2% of his 3-point shots. He went 6-of-11 from deep in the Boilermakers' three NCAA Tournament games. He now brings that shooting touch to a Texas team that lacked big wings with an ability to shoot off the catch.
