Hoosiers’ Coaching Staff Intensifies High School Recruiting Push

Coach Darian DeVries and his assistants target 2027‑2029 prospects during a pivotal weekend

A Busy Recruiting Weekend for the Hoosiers

Indiana basketball coach Darian DeVries and his staff are on the road this weekend, meeting with high school players and AAU coaches as the recruitment cycle moves into its next phase.

The focus is squarely on the 2027, 2028 and 2029 graduating classes, with the program aiming to bring in three or four new faces annually to keep the roster balanced and competitive.

Among the names drawing the most attention are guard Chase Branham of Logan‑Rogersville High School, who has already committed to Indiana, and forward King Gibson, alongside Gabe Nesmith, Malachi Jordan, Davion Thompson and a host of other standouts.

The weekend coincides with several national exposure events, including the adidas 3SSB in Mishawaka, the Nike EYBL in Memphis and the Under Armour Next showcase in Cincinnati, all of which will feature Indiana prospects.

DeVries has repeatedly stressed the importance of leveraging Indiana’s brand and resources to retain talent, noting that the university’s tradition and fan base provide a unique selling point for recruits.

With the staff’s presence felt across multiple venues, the Hoosiers hope to turn this busy stretch into a foundation for sustained success on the court.
