IU is in the market for size.

The Indiana Hoosiers are diving into the transfer portal with a clear mission: add size to the roster. Their latest target is Oregon State's 6-foot-11 forward, Yaak Yaak, but they face stiff competition in a ten-school battle for his commitment.

Yaak, a product of the NBA Global Academy in Australia, brings an intriguing international pedigree. After a season at New Mexico State and a missed sophomore year, he averaged 6.6 points and 2.2 rebounds for the Beavers in the West Coast Conference last season. While his three-point attempts are limited, his career 82.9% free-throw percentage hints at a smooth shooting stroke that could be developed.

For a program like Indiana, landing a player of Yaak's height is always tempting—you can't teach size. However, making the jump to the physical Big Ten represents a significant step up in competition. His blend of raw tools and potential has clearly captured the attention of numerous coaching staffs, making this a fascinating recruitment to watch as the Hoosiers look to bolster their frontcourt.
