2026-27 IU basketball roster tracker: Ristic is fourth transfer portal entry for Hoosiers

Season one of the Darian DeVries is complete and the roster for the 2026-27 season has only four confirmed players.

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 program’s last appearance in March Madness came in 2023 under Mike Woodson.

The transfer portal opened Tuesday and four of IU’s scholarship players from last season’s roster have already entered.

We are also tracking all Big Ten transfer portal entries at this link. The list is updated frequently.

Throughout the spring, we’ll track Indiana’s 2026-27 roster until it is complete. Here’s our latest version of the 2026-27 IU basketball roster tracker:

Out of eligibility and not returning

Six IU players from the 2025-26 season have exhausted their eligibility and will not return for the 2026-27 season.

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. Unless Nick Dorn comes back, Sisley will be IU’s leading returning scorer.

Entering the transfer portal

As of early April 8, four IU players have declared their intent to enter the transfer portal: Jason Drake, Jasai Miles, Josh Harris and Aleksa Ristic.

Drake announced his entry to the portal on Wednesday, April 1 and Miles and Harris both announced on Monday, April 6. Ristic announced his portal entry on Tuesday, April 7. The portal will close on Tuesday, April 21.

Eligible to return

Besides Drake, Harris, Miles, Ristic and Sisley – the five players who have made their intentions known for next season – two players on Indiana’s 2025-26 roster have eligibility remaining beyond this season.

The two players are Nick Dorn and Andrej Acimovic:

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.

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 on Tuesday, April 7 and will be open for 15 days. Visits – on or off campus – will not begin until Friday, April 10, because of an NCAA dead period for recruiting that runs through Thursday.
