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 DeVries
The team's potential defensive identity with aggressive ball pressure rather than traditional rim protection
Reasonable expectations for the upcoming season in a competitive Big Ten
The contrasting styles of DeVries vs. Woodson, particularly the shift to a more face-up, perimeter-oriented offense
The possibility of Luke Goode and Anthony Leal returning with additional eligibility waivers
We 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 Morris
