This edition of The Assembly Call dives into Indiana's complete roster overhaul and what fans might expect heading into the 2025-26 season.After inconsistent results under previous regimes, Indiana basketball is embracing a paradigm shift toward a more modern, movement-oriented system. The conversation highlights DeVries' business-like approach to program building and the significant shift in roster construction.Key discussion points include:The new-look roster featuring primarily mid-major transfers like Lamar Wilkerson and Tucker DeVriesThe team's potential defensive identity with aggressive ball pressure rather than traditional rim protectionReasonable expectations for the upcoming season in a competitive Big TenThe contrasting styles of DeVries vs. Woodson, particularly the shift to a more face-up, perimeter-oriented offenseThe possibility of Luke Goode and Anthony Leal returning with additional eligibility waiversWe speculate about where this roster might fall in the Big Ten pecking order and why Indiana's apparent change in approach and culture is a welcome development.Plus, as always, plenty of basketball analysis, listener questions, and a candid discussion about maintaining realistic expectations while embracing the positive changes within the program. That's all in this edition of The Assembly Call.On the mics: Coach Brian Tonsoni, Ryan Phillips, Bob Moats, and Jerod MorrisSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

We got a staff, and we got a squad... now what do we make of them?? Rather than figure it out ourselves, let's turn to the one and only Jeff Rabjohns, publisher of Peegs.com, to break down each new player and assistant coach added to the IU program in Darian DeVries first 7 whirlwind weeks as the Hoosiers head honcho.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

College basketball coaches say player agents "have the juice" and the power right now. #IUBB has a roster built to run and defend. On3's national recruiting analyst Jamie Shaw on what Darian DeVries' has going. Purdue atop many early looks at the top 25. Let's get ready for the Kentucky Derby! Plenty more.

It's been kind of quiet on the IUBB front which usually means all-hell is about to break loose, and it has with 2 new IUBB commits. IUFB has the luxury of 'cherry-picking' players of need from the portal. With an entire roster to fill IUBB has not had that, but Darian DeVries is still being very selective thus far. NFL Draft results, more. 

Steve Wiltfong, On3's VP of FB recruiting & transfer portal, joins to talk #IUFB, #B1G, #Boilerup. Coach Griff agrees that Indiana football should see no drop-off, Darian DeVries loading up on #IUBB shooters, Pacers take a 2-0 lead to Milwaukee, lots more.

When one portal closes another one opens, or something like that. #IUFB continues making recruiting inroads, #BoilerUp lands a big one too. #IUBB chatting 'em up, #CBB portal closes today, will we see a late rush?

Indiana's troubling downward spiral hit a new low as the Hoosiers were blitzed early, falling behind 26-4 in the opening minutes en route to a 76-64 loss at Wisconsin. The final 12-point margin masked what was effectively a 20-point defeat, as Indiana only made it close with late points against Wisconsin's reserves. While freshman Bryson Tucker provided a rare bright spot with improved three-point shooting, the team's continued defensive lapses and stagnant offensive execution painted a grim picture with just eight regular season games remaining.Topics Analyzed:A devastating start that saw Indiana fall behind by 22 points in just six minutes, raising serious questions about preparation and effortMike Woodson's halftime lineup change moving away from the two-big lineup showed some promise but proved too lateConcerning body language and competitive response when trailing, continuing a worrying trendBryson Tucker's development, including hitting two three-pointers after making just one all season priorWisconsin exploiting Indiana's perimeter defense to shoot 12-29 (41.4%) from three-point rangeGrowing questions about the program's direction amid a sixth loss in seven gamesPlus, as always, the Banner Moment, Meaningful Moments You Might Have Missed, Inside the Numbers, and our Game Balls, Hustle Award, and Lingering Questions.

Indiana put together one of its better performances of the season but ultimately came up short in an 81-76 loss at #10 Purdue. The Hoosiers led by as many as seven points in the first half and showed tremendous resilience in the second half, responding to a Purdue run with a 12-0 spurt of their own to retake the lead. However, the Boilermakers made enough plays down the stretch to secure the victory -- and Indiana made enough mistakes to ensure defeat.Mackenzie Mgbako led IU with 25 points in perhaps his best game as a Hoosier, while Trey Galloway added 16 points and sparked the second-half comeback. The five-man group of Mgbako, Galloway, Luke Goode, Anthony Leal and Umar Ballo played nearly the entire second half and showed tremendous fight, though fatigue may have been a factor late.Key Talking Points:Strong defensive effort limiting Purdue to 2-13 from three-point range20 turnovers prove costly, leading to 26 Purdue pointsBench contributes 28 points behind Galloway and GoodeLittle production from starters Myles Rice (0 points) and Malik Reneau (3 points)Final possession execution costs IU chance at potential game-tying shotPlus, as always, the Banner Moment, Meaningful Moments You Might Have Missed, Inside the Numbers, and our Game Balls, Hustle Award, and Lingering Questions.
