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 completed 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 and will be the leading returning scorer for the Hoosiers.

The portal will close on Tuesday, April 21.

Besides Dorn, Drake, Harris, Miles, Ristic and Sisley – the six players who have made their intentions known for next season – one player from IU’s 2025-26 roster has eligibility remaining beyond this season.
Andrej Acimovic, a center from Bosnia who joined the program in late July of 2025 as the final addition to the 2025-26 roster, redshirted this past season.
Acimovic has not announced his plans for next season.

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.
