Thought it would be worth doing a reset of where things stand at the official "mid-April" mark:

Committed
Tucker DeVries, Conor Enright, Trent Sisley, Reed Bailey

Visited and "Commit Watch"
  • Lamar Wilkerson - 1 year left - Sam Houston - choosing between IU and UK, commitment expected within the next day or two
  • Tayton Conerway - 1 year left - Troy - choosing between Vanderbilt, Mississippi State and IU after recent visits
Others to Know
  • Jasai Miles - 6'6" wing - 2 years left - North Florida - visiting IU on April 15
  • Kevin Overton - 6'5" wing - 2 years left - Texas Tech - recently entered portal, played for DeVries at Drake in 2023-2024
  • Emeka Opurum - 7'0" C - 4 years left - Butler Community College - IU has been in contact, Opurum just visited Auburn
  • Duke Brennan - 6'10" C - 1 year left - Grand Canyon - IU has been in contact.
  • Ante Brzovic - 6'10" C - no eligibility unless granted waiver - Charleston - contacted by roughly 100 schools (barely exaggerating)
  • Yohandry Ortiz - 6'5" guard - 4 years left - Miles College (JUCO) - IU has contacted him, might not be a hard pursuit
  • Elyjah Freeman - 6'8" wing - 3 years left - Lincoln Memorial (DII) - has visited IU and several others including Auburn
  • Kimani Hamilton - 6'7" forward - 1 year left - High Point - IU contacted him but we do not know if it will go anywhere
  • Duke Miles - 6'2" guard - Oklahoma - 1 year left - Oklahoma - IU has reached out to him but he's already visiting schools and IU is not listed as getting a visit
  • Adam Miller - 6'3" guard - 1 year left - Arizona State - from Illinois and IU has reached out
  • Jevin Muniz - 6'6" wing - 1 year left - FGCU - IU is one of several schools that have reached out
  • Tayshawn Comer - 6'1" guard - 1 year left - Evansville - IU has contacted him but there is a likelihood the Hoosiers are much more focused elsewhere
  • Bryce Lindsay - 6'2" guard - James Madison - 3 years left - IU is one of the schools interested but it's likely he goes to Maryland
  • Dylan Darling - 6'2" guard - 2 years left - Idaho State - MVP of the Big Sky has been in contact with IU. If IU misses on Wilkerson and Conerway, the pursuit of Darling will ramp up considerably
  • Tyrell Ward - 6'6" wing - 2 years left - LSU - Ward is originally from DC so Kenny Johnson would be connected to him. He sat out last season and is down to WVU, Maryland, NC State, UVA, VCU and IU.
Monitor
  • Malik Mack - 6'2" guard - 2 years left - Georgetown - Malik Mack has not entered the portal but there are a whole lot of rumors that he is strongly considering it. If he did, IU will have a choice to get involved. Mack was awesome as a freshman at Harvard but was inefficient last season for Georgetown. He still has a high ceiling but has struggled defensively. Kenny Johnson would make IU a serious contender for Mack if he entered the portal and if DeVries wanted to pursue.
  • Nyk Lewis - guard - 4 years left - Xavier decommit is from the DMV area and Kenny Johnson could get IU in the door with him.
  • Acaden Lewis - guard - 4 years left - Kentucky decommit - IU is rumored to not be one of the primary options for Lewis after decommitting from the Wildcats.
Hopefully this is a helpful summary of where things are at currently with "portal kombat". The only assistant coach name I have heard as a possible addition is Oklahoma State assistant Mike Ekanem.
