Phil Martelli explains how Michigan will handle transfer portal, roster approach this offseason
The Wolverines now have some work to do this offseason.
Phil Martelli has been instrumental in helping Juwan Howard build his version of the Michigan Wolverines men’s basketball program. Now, he is a part of a group that is adjusting to a rapidly-changing landscape in college basketball.
The transfer portal has exploded in popularity over the last few years, but the COVID season and relaxed eligibility rules have put a record number of names on the move. Michigan has not been affected by it this offseason yet, but it is always worth keeping an eye on.
The Michigan assistant coach joined The Michigan Insider’s podcast to discuss what comes next for the Wolverines with the transfer portal looming over the sport.
Well, first and foremost, whatever anybody wants to think about free agency or not, basically what has happened is they’ve taken an ax and they’ve chopped off the bottom of the tree, and there’s no longer building a program. You’re literally building a team every year. What we are going to rely on is the culture and the personal relationship with each guy. To sit and talk with every guy, and to express to them, ‘how does this fit for you?’ There’s nothing magical. But because one of the foundations of this program is communication, that’s not going to change. We’re not gonna hide from a conversation. The young guys coming in, they’re part of it. And I don’t really have an answer other than each individual is going to be treated as an individual, and an honest conversation will take place.
I cannot understand why the NCAA moved forward with this free agency, knowing already that teams are going to be in flux with who was coming back and who wasn’t coming back. I just think it was a mistake. I really do. And I’ve been staring at one (transfer story) for the last 36 hours. A young man is transferring from Colorado to Tulsa. Guess what? Last year he transferred from Tulsa to Colorado. Seriously. ‘I bought a house last year. It’s really a nice house, but man I missed my old one. I’m going back.’ Well, that’s not the real world. I saw a quote yesterday from a parent saying, ‘well, you know what, he’s not dissatisfied at his school. He just wants to find out what his value is and what he’s worth.’ So, it just doesn’t make any sense. And here’s another little thing, Juwan Howard and Michigan are hotter than hot. So we could have spent as much time answering transfer questions as we did preparing for UCLA. That’s how prevalent it has become. I don’t know where we’re going, and I am saying in the sport. I don’t know where we’re going, but I do know that for our program here, it’ll all be based on individual communication and the continuing of relationship building.

Just sayin': Well, he has a good point; however, coaches can leave a program (before their contract is up), so why shouldn't the players be able to do it too.
Traveling man: Former CU Buffs grad transfer Jeriah Horne returning to Tulsa
Horne played huge role on 2020-21 NCAA Tournament team
Jeriah Horne should always be remembered fondly by Colorado men’s basketball fans for the bundles of big shots he hit during the 2020-21 NCAA Tournament season, his lone year in Boulder.
And this certainly can be said of Horne: Even in an era of loosened transfer rules and with an unprecedented extra season of eligibility for players to utilize, it might be a while before we see another collegiate career as wildly nomadic as Horne’s.
On Wednesday, the now-former Buffs player announced on social media his intention to return to Tulsa for his final year of eligibility. Horne arrived in Boulder last year from Tulsa as the first graduate transfer welcomed by coach Tad Boyle’s program. After a standout season with the Buffs, Horne has opted to return to Tulsa to use the extra season of eligibility granted this year by the NCAA in college basketball’s pandemic season.

Horne began his career at Nebraska, playing 29 games off the bench as a true freshman in 2016-17. He then transferred to Tulsa, redshirting during the 2017-18 season due to NCAA transfer rules before averaging 10.6 points and 5.0 rebounds in 63 games (23 starts) for the Golden Hurricanes over the next two seasons.
With Tulsa expecting a drop-off in 2020-21, and with Horne intrigued by the pursuit of an NCAA Tournament berth and the possibility of teaming with Buffs point guard McKinley Wright IV, Horne transferred to CU and fit in seamlessly.

Just sayin: Horne actually has transferred 3 times,
2016-2017: Corn
2017-2018: sit out at Tulsa
2018-019: Tulsa
2019-2020: Tulsa
2020-2021: Colorado
2021-2022: Tulsa
Not counting any JCs, I wonder what the record is for most transfers between Division I schools.
