Indiana landed Oumar Ballo and Myles Rice this week, making the Hoosiers the only program in America to reel in a pair of top-20 transfers so far.

A name as hot as any in college basketball's transfer portal made it official on Tuesday afternoon, tweeting 'Hoosier nation, c'est parti,' which translates to 'here we go,' and sending Indiana fans into a frenzy. Oumar Ballo, a top-tier transfer who shot 64% from the field during his three seasons at Arizona, announced he's taking his talents to Bloomington to play for fourth-year head coach Mike Woodson and the Hoosiers next season.

The addition of Ballo is the second portal splash made by the Hoosiers, who received a commitment from reigning Pac-12 Freshman of the Year and Washington State transfer Myles Rice this past Saturday. Rice, who overcame a battle with Hodgkin's Lymphoma and returned to the court this past year, was tremendous in leading the Cougars to the NCAA Tournament, averaging 14.8 points, 3.1 rebounds and 3.8 assists per game.
