INDIANAPOLIS - IU Indianapolis head basketball coach Paul Corsaro has announced seven transfers as he begins constructing his roster for the 2024-2025 campaign. Four of the seven transfers join him from his UIndy squad and all seven have deep Midwest ties. The group marks the first announced signees since Corsaro took over the Jaguar program in late March.
"We want to draw a circle of about a 6-hour radius around Indianapolis and that's our recruiting base," Corsaro said. "If you look at the connecting states and then add in maybe Nashville and Saint Louis - that's where we want to be recruiting our kids from. This group represents that.
"Obviously, a lot of familiarity with the guys coming with me from UIndy. They're going to help set the tone and establish the identity of the program. They know what it takes to be successful and they're going to continue to be successful here at IU Indianapolis. Overall, this is a foundational group for us. These are young men that I really trust and am going to really enjoy coaching. I know they're excited to get going and I'm excited to get them to campus."
