After losing sophomore guard Phoenix Stotijn to the transfer portal, Indiana women’s basketball had two more departures Thursday. Sophomore forward Faith Wiseman and junior forward Jade Ondineme intend to enter the transfer portal, per On3 Sports’ Talia Goodman. 

The 6-foot-4 Wiseman made 26 combined appearances for the Hoosiers over her first two collegiate seasons. During the 2025-26 season, Wiseman averaged 6.5 minutes per game with six total points and 16 total rebounds. The Martinsville, Indiana, native averaged 3.5 minutes per contest in her freshman season.  

Ondineme spent just one season with the Hoosiers after transferring from Northwest Florida State College. The 6-foot-3 forward appeared in 18 games this season, averaging 8.3 minutes, 1.4 points and 2.2 rebounds. The Orleans, France, native averaged 4.3 points and 2.8 rebounds in her freshman season with the Raiders, and six points and 4.4 rebounds per game during her sophomore campaign.  

Both Wiseman and Ondineme provided depth for the Hoosiers in the post this season after sophomore forward Zania Socka-Nguemen was sidelined with lower leg injuries. Junior forward Edessa Noyan slotted into the starting lineup for Socka-Nguemen, but Wiseman and Ondineme played as backups off the bench.  

The Hoosiers likely finished their season with an 83-59 loss to Ohio State during the second round of the Big Ten Tournament on March 5. Their overall record stands at 18-14 with a 6-12 mark in the conference.  

Five players are set to depart from Indiana — three via the transfer portal and two due to graduation — but the Hoosiers are slated to bring in ESPN’s No. 8 recruiting class over the offseason. The class includes No. 28 wing Addison Nyemchek, No. 32 guard Gigi Battle, No. 64 guard Ashlinn James and four-star center Zoe Jackson.
