The French native played two seasons at Northwest Florida State College, where she helped lead the Lady Raiders to the 2025 National Junior College Athletic Association championship.
Ondineme averaged 6 points and 4.5 rebounds last season and started 29 of 35 games. Northwest Florida State’s 32-win season in 2025 is the most on record in program history, according to the school’s website.
Before attending Northwest Florida State College, Jade played for Toulouse Métropole Basket, a professional team based in France.
Ondineme joins Edessa Noyan, Zania Socka-Nguemen, Jerni Kiaku, Phoenix Stotijn, and Chloe Spreen as the incoming transfers for a completely new overhauled roster for 2025-26.
The newest transfers are set to join a roster that also includes guards Shay Ciezki, Lenee Beaumont and Kadlecova as well as forwards Faith Wiseman and Sydney Fenn. The 2025-26 roster will also be adding freshman Maya Makalusky and Nevaeh Caffey.
Teri Moren and Indiana women's basketball lost a lot this off-season including Lexus Bargesser (Colorado State), Henna Sandvik (Wyoming), Julianna LaMendola (Grand Canyon), leading scorer Yarden Garzon (Maryland), Sharnecce Currie-Jelks (Murray State) and Lilly Meister (Kansas).
Ondineme will likely have four years remaining at Indiana, pending on her junior college years by the NCAA ruling.
Indiana finished last season with a 20-13 overall record and 10-8 in Big Ten conference play. The Hoosiers made a sixth-straight NCAA Tournament appearance as a No. 9 seed and defeated No. 8 Utah in the Round of 64. Indiana's season ended against No. 1 South Carolina in the Round of 32 in Columbia.
