Video Highlights: IU basketball transfer center Dallas James

As it was announced today via a IU basketball release, Mike Woodson and the Hoosiers have added South Carolina State center Dallas James.

James, who is the son of of NBA veteran Jerome James, averaged 1.4 points and 1.7 rebounds to go along with 46 blocked shots with the Bulldogs while shooting 56.2% (41-of-73) from the floor during his four-year career. His father, Jerome, played 11 years in the NBA with the Sacramento Kings, the Seattle Supersonics, and the New York Knicks.

James graduated from South Carolina State with a 4.0 GPA with a major in electrical engineering technology. The Artesia, California native played his prep basketball at Inglewood High School while attending City Honors Prep Academy.

“Dallas is an incredibly intelligent young man that will provide us with some depth across our front line,” said IU basketball head coach Mike Woodson. “He is a tall kid with long arms that can contest and alter shots at the rim. He comes from an NBA background with his father spending a decade in the league and we are excited to bring the James family to Bloomington.”

With the addition of Dallas James, IU basketball has now used all 13 of their scholarships ahead of the 2024-25 college season.
