There will no final season homecoming for Iowa’s Tony Perkins.
The Indianapolis native announced on Monday he will play his final season of college basketball at Missouri.
IU was thought to be a strong contender for Perkins before recent developments.
The news comes just a couple days after Indiana landed Washington State point guard Myles Rice out of the transfer portal.
Indiana is also a favorite to land Stanford transfer guard Kanaan Carlyle, a strong contender for Bradley’s Connor Hickman, and they already have Trey Galloway and Gabe Cupps returning with experience as primary ball handlers.
Rice, and Carlyle if they land him, should give Indiana some semblance of class balance. Both have three years of eligibility remaining, Galloway and Hickman are both entering their final seasons.
Perkins chose Missouri over IU, Oregon, Arkansas, Oklahoma and Ole Miss. He’ll join former IU guard Tamar Bates at Missouri.
