On Sunday, the Indiana Hoosiers made a key addition to their 2025-2026 basketball roster, securing a commitment from Reed Bailey, a talented forward transferring from Davidson. Standing at 6-foot-8, Bailey brings a versatile skill set that will bolster the Hoosiers’ frontcourt next season.
Bailey, who spent the last few seasons at Davidson, earned a reputation for his strong defensive presence and ability to stretch the floor with his shooting. During his time with the Wildcats, he was known for his consistent rebounding and his ability to guard multiple positions, making him a valuable asset to Indiana’s defensive schemes.
“I’m excited to join the Indiana basketball program and play in front of one of the best fan bases in the country,” said Bailey in a statement following his commitment. “The coaching staff, the tradition, and the opportunity to compete in the Big Ten were all factors that played a big role in my decision.”
Head coach Mike Woodson expressed enthusiasm about adding Bailey to the roster, stating, “Reed is a player who will bring both versatility and experience to our team. His ability to impact the game on both ends of the floor will be crucial as we prepare for another competitive season.”
Bailey’s decision to join the Hoosiers adds depth to a talented roster that is looking to make a push in the Big Ten next year. With his mix of size, athleticism, and defensive ability, the former Wildcat is poised to make an immediate impact in Bloomington.
Fans of the Hoosiers are eagerly awaiting to see how Bailey will fit into the team’s lineup, with his all-around game potentially making him a key contributor in the 2025-2026 season.
