ORLANDO, Fla. — Even College of Charleston guard Dalton Bolon, a 24-year-old senior in his seventh year of college eligibility, is not a big fan of the unrestrainable, uncontainable transfer portal that now runs non-stop throughout college basketball.
And Bolon has actually benefited from the portal. He transferred from Division II West Liberty in West Virginia two seasons ago and was a key cog in helping 12th-seeded College of Charleston advance to the NCAA South Region where they lost, 63-57, Thursday to No. 5 San Diego State at Amway Center.
“I know this is going to sound a little contradictory,” Bolon says, “but I’m a big loyalty guy. I’m a big believer in persevering and battling through it when things get hard. Honestly, I never really wanted to go into the portal.”
