The Hoosiers were lacking size in the frontcourt this past season. Here’s a few guys who could help fix that.

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.
Last year, DeVries was focused on assembling both a staff and roster with just a few staffers and one player following him from West Virginia. The resulting roster came with several flaws that ultimately helped keep the Hoosiers out of the NCAA Tournament. Now DeVries has a fully assembled staff of assistants and staffers to focus solely on roster construction.
With this in mind, we’re going to be taking a look at the transfer portal in the coming days to see which players Indiana could go after. With a near-total roster rebuild underway, the program won’t have a shortage of need. Potential Indiana transfer portal targets Guards Centers Wings (coming soon!

Obviously we need to see a bit more of what DeVries wants from the position at Indiana, or if there is a specific mold, because Tucker DeVries was his power forward for a long time there. There’s gonna be a separate list for wings, a position DeVries has prioritized with plenty on last year’s roster and two incoming as freshmen in the class of 2026.
