The program has been in offseason mode for a few weeks now with roster movement and a new assistant coaching hire, but the transfer portal opening up gives the Hoosiers the chance to rebuild the roster ahead of year two.

Now DeVries has a fully assembled staff of assistants and staffers to focus solely on roster construction.
