Hoosiers in Motion: NBA Summer League Deals, Peru Tour, and Rankings

Former players sign new contracts, the basketball team eyes a strong season, and IU prepares for international competition.

Several former Indiana University standouts are set to showcase their talents in the NBA Summer League, with Sam Alexis, Reed Bailey, Tucker DeVries, Luke Goode and Lamar Wilkerson all earning spots on summer rosters and securing professional contracts.

Veteran big man Thomas Bryant will return to the Cleveland Cavaliers, while fellow alum Trayce Jackson‑Davis continues his professional journey with the Toronto Raptors, adding depth to both clubs ahead of the regular season.

The Hoosiers’ rising sophomore Trent Sisley is already being counted on as a key piece for next year’s squad, a hope reflected in the team’s No. 27 ranking by Bart Torvik and a similar nod from ESPN, underscoring a promising preseason outlook.

International Challenge Ahead

Beyond the hardwood, Indiana is gearing up for an international swing, heading to Peru to compete in the FISU America Games and scheduling an exhibition match against Collège Jean‑de‑Brébeuf on July 15, a move that will test the team’s chemistry in a new environment.

Athletic director Scott Dolson recently sat down with the Big Ten Network to discuss the broader state of IU athletics, hinting at strategic investments and the ambition to elevate the program’s national profile.

Inside the Hall’s podcast “On the Brink” featured Zach Osterman, who explored a new book chronicling the rise of IU football and offered insights from recent open practices that have gotten fans excited.

The university also announced recent professional transitions, including baseball staff member Denton Sagerman signing a pro contract, the naming of volleyball captains for the upcoming fall season, and a softball player earning a spot on the TC Colorado College All‑Star Team.
