Indiana received its first addition from the transfer portal on Wednesday morning as Ball State transfer Payton Sparks announced his commitment to Indiana. Jerod and Coach Tonsoni break down Sparks' game, what this means for Indiana's overall roster, and what to expect from Sparks in the Big Ten. They also explain how their feelings about Sparks as a Hoosier have evolved since he was first mentioned as a possibility.

Also joining us is Evan Wilson, who plays at Akron, and has seen Sparks up close the last two seasons. He has some excellent insight into what Sparks brings to the table from a skills standpoint and, perhaps more importantly, from a mentality and culture standpoint.

If you want to really dive deep on who Sparks is as a player and what he'll bring to the table for IU, this episode is for you.

On Sunday, IU's season came to an end with an 85-69 loss to Miami. It was a game where the Hoosiers struggled at the start, came alive in the middle, and faded at the end. The season ends at 23-12 and as by far the best one the Hoosiers have had in seven years. The team will lose several key players to graduation including All-American center Trayce Jackson-Davis. It will be a very different roster in 2023-2024 but the first couple of years of the Mike Woodson era has seen strides that included returning Indiana to the NCAA Tournament after a long absence. Where the program goes from here remains to be seen.
