the transfer portal continues to shake up college basketball, and one of the most intriguing names on the market—miami’s 4-star transfer—is narrowing down his options. the talented guard, who entered the portal earlier this offseason after a strong showing with the hurricanes, has listed the indiana hoosiers among his top five transfer destinations.
the 6-foot-4 guard averaged 9.8 points, 3.2 rebounds, and 2.6 assists per game last season, flashing elite athleticism and a knack for scoring in transition. his ability to guard multiple positions and create his own shot has drawn attention from several top-tier programs across the country.
joining indiana in his final five are kansas, alabama, usc, and texas. the hoosiers are banking on their recent recruiting momentum and a clear backcourt need to lure the guard to bloomington. with the departures of key contributors from last season, indiana head coach mike woodson has emphasized the portal as a crucial avenue to rebuild the roster.
“i’m looking for a program that’s committed to development and winning,” the guard said in a recent interview. “indiana’s history, the fanbase, and the opportunity to make an immediate impact definitely caught my eye.”
this news comes at a pivotal time for indiana, which is seeking to bounce back after a middling season in the big ten. a commitment from a high-level transfer like this would go a long way toward restoring competitiveness and adding firepower to a backcourt that lacked consistency.
recruiting analysts have suggested that indiana’s chances are strong, especially given their style of play and emphasis on guard freedom under woodson’s system. “he’d be an instant starter at indiana,” one analyst noted. “they’ve made him a priority from the beginning.”
the guard is expected to make his final decision in the coming weeks after completing official visits. indiana is set to host him soon, with fans already buzzing about what his addition could mean for the team’s chances next season.
if the hoosiers can land him, it would mark one of their biggest portal wins in recent memory—another sign that indiana remains a powerful name in college basketball’s ever-evolving landscape.
