Two former IU players in the transfer portal have recently selected their next college home.

After Mike Woodson left the IU program at the end of the 2024-25 season, Darian DeVries was hired on March 18 and seven IU players entered the transfer portal.

Until this week, four of those seven players – Gabe Cupps, Malik Reneau, Jakai Newton, and Myles Rice – had selected new destinations to continue their college careers.

The two additional Hoosiers committed this week: Mackenzie Mgbako and Bryson Tucker.

Mgbako, a two-year starter at IU and a former McDonald’s All-American, announced for Texas A&M on Thursday night.

Over 65 career games for the Hoosiers, Mgbako averaged 12.2 points, 4.3 rebounds and 1.2 assists per game. He is a career 32.8 percent 3-point shooter.

Tucker, a 2024 McDonald’s All-American, committed to Washington on Friday night.

The 6-foot-7 wing averaged 5.4 points and 2.9 rebounds in 16.6 minutes per game. He shot 37.8 percent from the field and 15 percent on 3-pointers.

One from last season’s roster remains in the transfer portal: Kanaan Carlyle.
