Darian DeVries and the Indiana Hoosiers have made some serious moves this week. DeVries has added six players through the transfer portal, and IU's portal class is currently ranked No. 1 in the country according to On3's College Basketball Team Transfer Portal Rankings.

There is still work to do, but Indiana's 2026-27 roster is in a much better place now than it was just a few days ago. DeVries had his work cut out for him, as the Hoosiers lost a graduating class of six players that accounted for the overwhelming majority of the minutes played and points scored this past season.

Why Indiana's transfer portal strategy is raising eyebrows across college basketball

Furthermore, only one eligible returner from last year's roster is slated to be back in Bloomington next season. That is risign sophomore Trent Sisley, who averaged 4.2 points playing 13.9 minutes per game as a true freshman.

As Indiana is adding a talented portal class, former Hoosiers in the portal are finding their new homes.

Former Hoosier Josh Harris commits to Florida Atlantic in the portal

On Thursday, former Indiana basketball player Josh Harris committed to Florida Atlantic via the transfer portal. It's Harris' second time transferring in as many years, as he moved from North Florida to Indiana following the 2024-25 season. He spent just one season in Bloomington, and missed the entire season due to injury.

Harris originally hails from Fort Lauderdale, so it's not too surprising to see him head back to a mid-major team in The Sunshine State.

During his time at North Florida, the 6'8" 225-pound forward started all 30 games for the Ospreys and played 22.5 minutes per game. He averaged 13.4 points and 7.1 rebounds per game while shooting 55.7% from the field.

Harris was one of two players from North Florida to transfer to Indiana prior to last season, joining shooting guard Jasai Miles. Like Harris, Miles is also now in the transfer portal looking for another opportunity.

Harris and Miles made up Indiana's 2025 transfer portal class that was ranked No. 10 in the country heading into DeVries' first season in Bloomington. Harris has found his way back to a mid-major program, while Miles is still searching for his new college basketball home.
