Kyler D’Augustino Enters the Transfer Portal After Breakout Season
IU Indy is an NCAA Division I men’s basketball team in the Horizon League, which includes Wright State, Robert Morris, and Oakland. However, they ranked as the worst team in the Horizon League with a conference record of 3-17 and an overall record of 7-25.
Despite their poor record, junior guard D’Augustino was a star. In 30 games played with the team, he averaged 18.5 points, 3.4 assists, 3.2 rebounds, and 1.3 steals per game.
He also shot the ball extremely well from the field (53.1%) and 3-point range (39.4%), earning Third-Team All-Horizon League honors.
Prior to his time at IU Indy, D’Augustino spent two seasons at West Liberty, a school in the Mountain East Conference (MEC) that includes Fairmont State, Wheeling, and Charleston.

In this age of the transfer portal, not only does D’Augustino have the potential to land with a premier college basketball team, but he could also receive a significant payday through NIL.
His name might not be known by most at the moment, but he’ll have the opportunity to make a huge jump next college basketball season.
