You can either fight the transfer portal (and lose) or embrace it. Groce has landed LCJ, Cheese, Banks, Riak, Xeyrius, Castaneda, and now Hankerson. He did lose Ali and Utomi. Overall I'd say under Groce Akron has been a net winner in the transfer portal. That's what you need to be in order to be consistently successful as a mid-major. The days of relying on building your team with high school recruits who barely see the court until their 2nd or 3rd year are over.
