Hoosiers' 2026-27 roster in flux as Ristic becomes fourth transfer-portal entry

Indiana's 2026-27 basketball roster is taking shape under Darian DeVries, with only Trent Sisley confirmed back as the lone returnee. Six players from 2025-26 exhausted their eligibility, and four have entered the transfer portal as of April 8: Jason Drake, Jasai Miles, Josh Harris, and Aleksa Ristic (the latter is the latest portal entry). The transfer window runs through April 21. Indiana has not yet added a transfer, but has signed three freshmen—Prince-Alexander Moody, Vaughn Karvala, and Trevor Manhertz—and two players from last year (Nick Dorn and Andrej Acimovic) still have eligibility, potentially joining the portal or returning. The roster will continue to be tracked as the spring progresses.
