Indiana men's basketball is making serious moves in the transfer portal, securing a commitment from Duke guard Darren Harris. The rising junior announced his decision to join the Hoosiers via social media, marking the program's second major pickup of the day and signaling a significant boost for Coach Darian DeVries' roster.
Harris spent his first two collegiate seasons providing depth off the bench for a stacked Blue Devils program, contributing to two deep NCAA Tournament runs. While minutes were limited behind elite talent, he showcased a reliable shooting touch. As a sophomore, he averaged 3.3 points in just under 10 minutes per game.
His potential, however, has always been clear. Coming out of Paul VI Catholic High School in Virginia, Harris was a coveted 4-star prospect, ranked as the 11th-best small forward in the 2024 class. His reputation as a sharpshooter preceded him, and that skill set is precisely what Indiana needs.
This transfer represents a fantastic opportunity for Harris to step into a larger role. In Bloomington, he won't face the same logjam of elite wings he did at Duke. Coach DeVries' offensive system is known for creating spacing and shooting opportunities, making Harris a perfect schematic fit who should see his playing time and production skyrocket in the Big Ten.
