Tracking every player in and out of Indiana during the basketball transfer portal.

Indiana Basketball is experiencing a major overhaul this offseason, replacing several players from last season’s roster. Here is a list of players who have transferred out and into the program.

Transferred Out:

Kaleb Banks: Still in the Portal

The sparingly used Kaleb Banks did see his minutes double in 2023-24 (five to ten minutes per game), but he never got going last season. With no direct route to more playing time and Indiana wanting to improve in the front court, Banks entered the portal on March 19th. He has not signed with another program yet.

CJ Gunn: To Dayton

Hopes were high for the Lawrence North High School product. However, Gunn was wildly inconsistent, struggling to shoot from the outside. He found himself in and out of the rotation. Gunn enrolled at the University of Dayton on March 29th.

Payton Sparks: To Ball State

Hopes were high for Ball State transfer Payton Sparks. He was a two-time All-MAC player in Muncie and was considered someone who could contribute. However, Sparks never cracked the Ware, Reneau, and Walker front-court rotation, so he transferred back to Ball State.

Incoming Transfers

Myles Rice: From Washington State

Rice gives Woodson and the Hoosiers a point guard for at least the next two years. The Washington State transfer was All-Pac 12, All-Pac 12 Freshman team, and Pac 12 Rookie of the Year. He needs to improve his shooting, but he can get to the basket and finish.

Oumar Ballo: From Arizona

Ballo, the top-rated transfer in the class gives Indiana a rebounder and rim protector. He is a more traditional center at 260 pounds. Ballo is a double-double machine who doesn’t need the basketball to influence the outcome of the game.
