With Kanaan Carlyle’s entrance into the portal, Bryson Tucker and Dallas James are the only Hoosiers players with experience who remains on the roster. Luke Goode also could possibly return in 2025-26 if his injury waiver is approved from his sophomore season at Illinois in 2022-23 where he played 13 games in the season.
Carlyle transferred to Indiana from Stanford, he averaged 11.5 points, 2.7 rebounds, 1.2 steals and 2.7 assists in the 2023-24 season. Carlyle was honorable mention on the Pac-12 All-Freshman Team that same season.
The sophomore guard averaged 4.0 points, 1.6 rebounds and 1.2 assists per game in his lone season with the Hoosiers, making 25 appearances and starting in six games this season. He struggled offensively all season, shooting only 24.3 percent from the three point line and 33.8 percent from the field while attempting only 14 free throws all season.
Carlyle is the sixth scholarship player from the 2024-25 Hoosiers men's basketball team to enter the transfer portal. He follows Myles Rice, Gabe Cupps, Malik Reneau, Mackenzie Mgbako and Jakai Newton who have all left the team after coach Darian DeVries was hired last week.
Carlyle has two seasons of eligibility remaining.
