We’re two weeks into the 45-day period for entering the transfer portal and the list of prospects who have mentioned contact or interest from Indiana continues to change.
As IU’s recruiting efforts continue to come into focus, we’ll publish new transfer portal watch lists. This list is a compilation of prospects who IU has reportedly been in contact with.
Of note: A dead period from recruiting begins Thursday, April 4 and runs through Thursday, April 11. Here is the definition of a dead period, per the NCAA: A dead period is that period of time when it is not permissible to make in-person recruiting contacts or evaluations on or off the member institution’s campus or to permit official or unofficial visits by prospective student-athletes to the institution’s campus.
