Based on Indiana’s current roster, the Hoosiers will once again have a major reconstruction project ahead of them to prepare for the 2025-26 season. As of this writing, IU will have at least six scholarships available as Trey Galloway, Anthony Leal, Oumar Ballo and Luke Goode are all expected to be out of eligibility.
Building the 2025-26 team might follow a different course, as the Indiana staff is a strong contender for a number of prospects in the class of 2025. That includes one of the better in-state classes in several years.
As the focus pivots this spring and summer from the transfer portal to the high school class of 2025, who are the main players IU will be pursuing?
