The men's basketball transfer window opened more than three months ago and closed more than six weeks ago -- but we're finally nearing the end of the portal season. Following Coleman Hawkins' commitment to Kansas State, just one player in the top 100 of ESPN's transfer rankings remains uncommitted. All eyes are on Arthur Kaluma.

It was the busiest transfer window we've seen since the portal was introduced, with more than 2,000 players entering with the intent to switch schools. According to EvanMiya.com's transfer database, three teams -- Louisville, USC and DePaul -- signed at least 11 transfers, while 16 programs saw at least 10 players enter the portal.

While there are still uncommitted players and recruiting classes won't be 100% complete until deep into the summer, there's now more than enough data to determine which programs came out of this transfer season with an improved roster, and which programs saw an exodus of talent leave via the portal.

We've broken more than 50 transfer classes into four categories: big winners, programs that faced total rebuilds, teams that needed just one or two pieces to complete their rosters, and the teams that lost more talent than it gained via the portal.

Big winners

Kansas Jayhawks: Bill Self didn't lose anyone to the portal yet reloaded in a dramatic way via the transfer market. He landed top-five transfer AJ Storr (Wisconsin) and two more top-25 transfers in Rylan Griffen (Alabama) and Zeke Mayo (South Dakota State). Mississippi State transfer Shakeel Moore is also a proven high-major rotation player.
