Big Ten Daily: Comings & Goings From the Transfer Portal Around the League

As the NCAA transfer portal continues to expand, here's a look at the inside the Big Ten Conference ahead of the 2021-22 college basketball season.

BLOOMINGTON, Ind. — After the firing of Archie Miller at Indiana, seven Hoosiers have joined a record number of athletes inside the transfer portal. The most recent roster casualty came when redshirt senior center Joey Brunk said he would not return to the program for the 2021-22 season. 

New Indiana coach Mike Woodson will head into next season without guards Al Durham and Armaan Franklin, who contributed heavily to the team's backcourt, but he managed to retain other key players. Namely, coveted freshman Khristian Lander will return to the program after appearing in 26 games for the Hoosiers off the bench. 

Indiana also will have forwards Race Thompson and Jordan Geronimo to compliment Trayce Jackson-Davis in the front court. Thompson led the Hoosiers with 28 steals last season and was second on the team with 167 total rebounds. Geronimo played in 21 games as a freshman. 

UT-Martin transfer guard Parker Stewart announced he would also come back to the Hoosiers. 

Here's a look across the Big Ten Conference noting who might find themselves with a new program next season.
