Bosnian center Andrej Acimovic has entered the transfer portal after one season with IU basketball. The 6-foot-10 Acimovic never played for Indiana.  He arrived in the late summer of 2025 and missed the Puerto Rico summer tour as well. He’ll be a redshirt freshman at his next step. His departure leaves Trent Sisley as the only returning scholarship player from the 2025-26 team. Prior to coming to Bloomington, Acimovic averaged 17.5 points and 7.5 rebounds per game in the U19 ABA League, the top league in the Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, Montenegro, North Macedonia, Serbia, and Slovenia region.

Georgia Tech transfer Jaeden Mustaf recently completed a visit to Indiana, and the Hoosiers are expected to be strong contenders for the 6-foot-6 and 210-pound wing. We previously covered Mustaf as a name to know this transfer portal cycle.  Now let’s take a closer look at his game. Mustaf is not a heavy usage player.  His 19.8 usage rate was seventh on Georgia Tech this past season.  And at 19.4, he’s not taking an outsized percentage of the team’s shots when on the floor either. He’s best thought of as a third option, someone who can get to the paint…

Sherrell’s shooting splits were 53.8% overall, 33.3% from three (on 78 attempts), and 71.4% at the free throw line. Sherrell has two…

Indiana coach Curt Cignetti likes to say he wins everywhere he goes, but like the Hoosiers, he had never won at Penn State. Not as a player.  Not as an assistant coach. His Hall of Fame coaching father Frank didn’t break through in Happy Valley either. But that all changed in Cignetti’s first trip Beaver Stadium as a head coach. And it took a drive for the ages led by an unflappable quarterback. After more than 50 years of the family losing at Penn State, Cignetti was on the verge of tears after Fernando Mendoza threw perfect pass after perfect…

Our transfer portal names to know series involves players with confirmed/rumored interest and/or interesting connections with IU basketball. UConn center Eric Reibe entered the transfer portal following his team’s run to the national title game.  He’s a name to know for Indiana. As has been the case on multiple occasions this cycle, Reibe is likely a familiar name as a former IU recruiting target by the prior staff.  He took an official visit to IU in 2024. The 7-foot-1 and 260-pound Reibe, a native of Hanover, Germany, has three years of eligibility remaining. He was projected to move into a…

It appears Indiana will miss out on Jalen Haralson for a second time. The Notre Dame transfer guard is down to Tennessee, North Carolina and Ohio State according to CBS’ Jon Rothstein. Haralson attended Fishers H.S. in suburban Indianapolis and picked Notre Dame over IU and others out of high school as part of the class of 2024. Transfer portal activity is moving at a rapid pace.  Haralson is not the first target Indiana has missed on this cycle. Tennessee forward/center JP Estrella is headed to Michigan. And Belmont forward Sam Orme is headed to Nebraska. There were also some…

Khobie Martin’s redshirt freshman season stats are a reflection of both his and the team’s dominance in 2025. The Fishers, Ind. product entered the season as IU’s fourth-string back and spent most of it in a third-string mop-up role after Lee Beebe, Jr. was injured. Despite limited action, Martin’s 505 rushing yards in 2025 would have led the IU team in several seasons:  2023, 2010, 2006, 1984, 1983, 1981, and several years before that.  He produced the most rushing yards by an Indiana freshman since Stevie Scott III in 2018 — and that was on just 78 carries (6.5 yards…
