Indiana men's basketball is set to host Darren Harris, a rising junior guard who is transferring from Duke, for an official visit this weekend. Harris was a 4-star recruit out of Paul VI Catholic High School in Fairfax, Virginia in the class of 2024, ranking as the 11th highest rated small forward and 39th highest rated prospect overall in the class. He saw limited playing time in his two seasons at Duke, averaging 3.3 points, 0.8 rebounds and 0.4 assists while shooting 36.3% from the field and 33.3% from 3-point range in just 9.7 minutes per game this past season.

Why it matters

Indiana is looking to bolster its backcourt through the transfer portal, and Harris could provide a boost in 3-point shooting and perimeter depth if he chooses to join the Hoosiers. As a 4-star recruit, Harris has shown promise, and a change of scenery could unlock more of his potential.

The details

After his visit to Indiana, Harris has another scheduled at Virginia. He was known for his strong 3-point shooting as a high school prospect, and Indiana head coach Darian DeVries will be hoping to get more production out of Harris if he decides to transfer to Bloomington.

  • Harris will be in Bloomington for an official visit starting on Saturday, April 12, 2026.
  • He has a visit scheduled at Virginia after his trip to Indiana.
