21. Indiana Hoosiers

Likely departures

  • Lamar Wilkerson (20.9 ppg and 2.4 apg)
  • Tucker DeVries (13.7 ppg and 5.3 rpg)
  • Tayton Conerway (9.5 ppg and 3.3 apg)
  • Sam Alexis (8.8 ppg and 4.8 rpg)
  • Reed Bailey (8.3 ppg and 3.4 rpg)
  • Nick Dorn (8.1 ppg and 2.3 rpg)
  • Conor Enright (4.6 ppg and 4.6 apg)

Likely returnees

  • Trent Sisley (4.2 ppg and 2.8 rpg)

Roster additions

  • Markus Burton (18.5 ppg and 3.7 apg at Notre Dame)
  • Bryce Lindsay (12.3 ppg and 2.1 apg at Villanova)
  • Jaeden Mustaf (10.4 ppg and 2.4 apg at Georgia Tech)
  • Darren Harris (3.3 ppg and 0.8 rpg)
  • Aiden Sherrell (11.1 ppg and 6.2 rpg at Alabama)
  • Samet Yigitoglu (10.7 ppg and 7.9 rpg)
  • Trevor Manhertz (4-star forward prospect)
  • Vaughn Karvala (4-star wing prospect)

For the first time in years, Coach Darian DeVries won’t have his son Tucker to lead his roster. In his place will be Burton, who has been one of the best players in the ACC at Notre Dame and a prolific scorer overall. Lindsay and Mustaf give them backcourt depth, while Sisley, the lone returning player, could be a breakout player to watch on the wings alongside former Duke wing Harris.

The Hoosiers hope for better frontcourt play, with Sherrell and Yigitoglu being an upgrade duo, especially on offense. The offense should be potent with these key projected rotation pieces, but will the defense hold up?
