Calipari said hundreds of players who entered the transfer portal this year were left without scholarships. He also said head coaches are holding on to extra scholarships just in case a transfer might be available, which means "300-500" high school players won't get scholarships, either.

Calipari also said that the transfer portal has created age gaps between teams.

"We've got 26- and 27-year-olds playing 18-year-olds," he said.

I mean he isn't wrong but the amount of players that play under his teams and head off to the NBA immediately is also a ridiculous number.

Sort of like Saben's complaining. His concern is probably more that his players who are not one-and-done can more easily transfer to somewhere where they can start versus staying with him to provide depth.
