Indiana men's basketball roster developments

Overview

Indiana men’s basketball is preparing for the 2026-2027 season amid roster restructuring and preseason projections. An unofficial media poll projects the team to finish ninth in the Big Ten conference.

During Big Ten Media Days in Rosemont, Illinois, Coach Darian DeVries discussed the program’s transition to a more versatile roster following the departure of top scorer Lamar Wilkerson. DeVries highlighted increased depth, specifically within the frontcourt, bolstered by the addition of Alabama transfer Aiden Sherrell and SMU transfer Samet Yigitoglu.

The roster includes 11 new players, seven of whom are transfers. Additionally, the program secured a significant recruiting commitment from five-star center Darius Wabbington for the class of 2027.
