Season one of the Darian DeVries is complete and the roster for the 2026-27 season is a work in progress.
The Hoosiers finished year one of the DeVries era 18-14 overall and 9-11 in the Big Ten. IU was picked to finish 10th in the Big Ten and finished 10th. IU basketball missed the NCAA tournament for a third consecutive season.
The transfer portal opened today and three IU players have already announced that they will enter.
We are tracking all Big Ten transfer portal entries at this link. The list is updated daily.
Throughout the spring, we’ll track Indiana’s 2026-27 roster until it is complete. Here’s our fourth version of the 2026-27 IU basketball roster tracker:
Out of eligibility and not returning
Six IU players from the 2025-26 season are out of eligibility and will not be on the 2026-27 roster.
Tucker DeVries, Lamar Wilkerson, Tayton Conerway, Conor Enright, Reed Bailey and Sam Alexis were six of IU’s top seven scorers from last season and will not be on IU’s roster next season.
Confirmed to return for the 2026-27 season
Trent Sisley, who averaged 4.2 points and 2.8 rebounds in 13.1 minutes per game in the 2025-26 season as a freshman, will return to Bloomington for his sophomore season.
He is the only confirmed returnee for IU basketball for the 2026-27 season.
Entering the transfer portal
As of early April 7, three IU players have declared their intent to enter the transfer portal: Jason Drake, Jasai Miles and Josh Harris. Drake announced that he will enter last Wednesday, April 1 and Miles and Harris both announced on Monday, April 6.
The portal will close on Tuesday, April 21.
Eligible to return
Besides Drake, Harris, Miles and Sisley – the four players who have made their intentions known for next season – three players on Indiana’s 2025-26 roster have eligibility remaining beyond this season. Only one of those three players played regularly for IU last season.
Here’s a quick rundown of the three:
Nick Dorn: A starter for most of the second half of the season, Dorn has one season of eligibility remaining after playing two seasons at Elon and one at Indiana. He shot 60-for-158 on 3-pointers last season, good for 38 percent.
Aleksa Ristic: The Serbian guard played sparingly for the Hoosiers this season and has three seasons of eligibility remaining.
Andrej Acimovic: The Bosnian center redshirted the 2025-26 season and has four seasons of eligibility remaining.
Roster additions from high school
Indiana currently has three freshmen committed to join the 2026-27 roster.
The Hoosiers signed guard Prince-Alexander Moody and wing Vaughn Karvala last fall and landed a commitment from wing Trevor Manhertz in late January. The program has officially announced the signings of Moody and Karvala and is expected to announce Manhertz this spring, as he committed in late January.
IU’s 2026 recruiting class is currently ranked among the top 20 classes nationally.
Roster additions from the transfer portal
Indiana has not yet added a player from the transfer portal.
The portal officially opened today, Tuesday, April 7 and will be open for 15 days. Campus visits will not begin until Friday, April 10.
