Arrival at Indiana University
Conor Enright, one of two players on the 2025-26 roster with prior experience under coach Darian DeVries, joins IU after a season at DePaul. Hailing from Mundelein, Illinois, the 6-foot-1 guard was part of DeVries’ recruiting class at Drake in 2021.
College Career Highlights
Enright redshirted his freshman year at Drake but made significant contributions in the following two years. In his redshirt freshman season, he was named to the MVC All-Freshman team, averaging 4.1 points, 2.2 rebounds, and 1.6 assists per game. His impact has always been more about making crucial plays than putting up eye-catching stats.
Coaching Insights
DeVries described Enright as a player who approaches every game with intensity, noting, “He plays incredibly hard. He loves to compete… Fans are going to enjoy the way he approaches the game.” Over his second year, Enright transitioned from a bench player to a starter, averaging 6.9 points and 3.2 assists for a strong 28-7 team.
Transfer to DePaul
After DeVries took the West Virginia position post-2023-24 season, Enright opted to transfer to DePaul to be closer to home. Unfortunately, a shoulder injury limited his season to 23 games, but he still managed to average 6.2 assists per game, ranking among the best nationally.
Reuniting at IU
As DeVries took the IU head coaching position in March, Enright entered the transfer portal, aiming for a successful final season. His prior connection to IU through his brother sparked his interest in the program. “I was a fan of Indiana… it was a perfect storm when coach DeVries got the job,” said Enright.
Looking Ahead
Fully recovered from shoulder surgery, Enright is anticipated to play a crucial role for IU. He has already started in exhibition games and is recognized for his strong facilitation skills and defensive tenacity. Regardless of whether he starts or comes off the bench, his focus remains on winning. As he stated, “Winning is the biggest thing.”
Conclusion: Enright’s work ethic and intensity are likely to make him a fan favorite. While his statistics may not be astounding, his energy and commitment to the game will resonate with IU supporters.
Quotable: “He didn’t score a point in the game, and he dominated the game… it’s an infectious way to play,” DeVries remarked about Enright’s impactful style.
