Darian DeVries’ lost out on a primary transfer portal target to his former mentor.
Iowa transfer guard Josh Dix is headed to Creighton where he’ll play for Greg McDermott. DeVries was an assistant coach at Creighton under McDermott for several years.
Dix visited IU earlier in the week. DeVries had a prior connection with Dix after recruiting him as a high school prospect. The Hoosiers were competing against Creighton, Illinois, Iowa and Kansas for Dix.
The Hoosiers also missed earlier this week on Ryan Conwell, who is headed to Louisville.
DeVries has several roster openings to fill in his first year as the IU head coach.
The only IU player possibly returning from the 2024-25 team is Luke Goode, but he needs a hardship waiver approved by the NCAA before he can come back for a fifth season.
DeVries’ son Tucker will be on the 2025-26 IU team, along with DePaul transfer guard Conor Enright and incoming freshman Trent Sisley.
