Multiple Wednesday reports indicated West Virginia wing Tucker DeVries signed with Indiana.
Indiana was unable to confirm Wednesday DeVries has actually signed. He is seeking a hardship waiver from the NCAA. IU was also unable to confirm the status of that request.
The 6-foot-7 Tucker is the son of new IU head coach Darian DeVries.
In any case, Indiana is expected to add Tucker DeVries from the transfer portal. Perhaps it’s best to call him a commit at this point. He wore an IU sweatshirt to his father’s introductory press conference, and has a photo of him wearing an IU jersey on his Instagram page.
Tucker will play at IU with his former Drake teammate Conor Enright, who announced his commitment to the Hoosiers on Wednesday.
Indiana typically issues a statement when a player has formally signed. We’ll have more coverage of Tucker DeVries at that time.
For West Virginia in 2024-25, Tucker averaged 14.9 points, 4.9 rebounds and 2.8 assists before a season-ending shoulder injury eight games in. He shot 47.3% from three on 6.9 attempts per game. He is expected to be granted a medical hardship waiver to secure a fifth season of eligibility.
