Indiana women’s basketball freshman Nevaeh Caffey is planning to enter the transfer portal, per a report from On3.
Caffey becomes the sixth IU player to hit the portal, along with Phoenix Stotijn, Faith Wiseman, Jade Ondineme, Chloe Spreen, and Edessa Noyan. But the Warrenton, Mo. native is — by far — the most significant of that group of six.
The point guard started all 32 games for the Hoosiers as a freshman, averaging 8.5 points, 2.5 assists, and 3.5 rebounds across 31.6 minutes per game. She displayed promising defensive potential from the beginning of the season, as well.
Caffey was named Miss Show-Me Basketball 2025 prior to arriving in Bloomington, and appeared a key piece for the future at Indiana. But now, the Hoosiers — barring something unforeseen — will see her leave for another program.
Teri Moren has eight scholarship players remaining for the 2026-27 season. IU has three returning starters left: Maya Makalusky, Lenée Beaumont, and Zania Socka-Nguemen.
The Hoosiers now have a glaring void at point guard. Incoming freshman Ashlinn James has a lot of potential to step into that role at some point, but it’s unclear if Moren would turn to the Louisville native immediately.
