## Resource

In this episode of The Assembly Call, we react to Indiana’s massive transfer portal haul and what it might mean for year two under Darian DeVries. After a disappointing season, the tone has shifted quickly—and the conversation wrestles with how much of this excitement is justified versus how much still needs to be proven on the court. Segment 1: Inside Indiana’s Portal Haul The discussion centers on just how dramatic this roster overhaul has been—and why it feels different from past offseasons. Why this group appears more balanced than recent Indiana teams How the pieces might actually fit together in a modern offense The significance of adding a true lead guard and legit size up front A surprise commitment during the show that adds another wrinkle Whether this is finally a roster without an obvious fatal flaw Segment 2: What It Means (and What’s Still Missing) The excitement is real—but so are the questions. How much of last year’s struggles were roster vs. coaching Why this offseason suggests the staff may have learned from year one The importance of continuity and multi-year players What positions still need to be addressed before the roster is complete The big unknown: how it all comes together once games actually start Bottoms line: There’s real momentum—and a real plan. But this episode makes it clear: April wins don’t mean much unless they translate to November.
