A look at who is coming and going in the Big Ten for the 2023-24 season

  • Mar 27, 2023 in

The offseason is here for the Big Ten and Inside the Hall will once again keep the most comprehensive list of Big Ten roster movement entering the 2023-24 season.

This post will be updated frequently this offseason due to all of the player movement, but here’s a current look at Big Ten rosters for the 2023-24 season.

Editor’s notes:

– All players listed under NBA draft/professional route/out of eligibility will not return to school.

– We are listing players who went through senior night but have the option to return under “eligibility remaining” unless the player has explicitly stated they will not return to school. 

– Walk-ons are not included unless they have played significant minutes.

– Please contact us via email if any omissions or errors are spotted.
