Indiana women’s basketball had landed a commitment from Duquesne transfer guard Jerni Kiaku. Kiaku is now the fifth addition Teri Moren and the Hoosiers have made this offseason via the transfer portal.

A 5-foot-7 guard, Kiaku started all 33 games at Duquesne during the 2024-25 season. She averaged 13.2 points, 3.4 and 1.7 assists per game this past season. Kiaku shot 47.1% from the field, 26.7% from 3-point range and 71.4% from the charity stripe.

Kiaku finished in double-figures in 28 games a season ago, including four 20-point performances. Perhaps Kiaku’s best performance of the season came in November, when she posted 24 points and five assists on 10-of-12 shooting from the field.

In her first season at Duquesne, during the 2023-24 campaign, Kiaku played in 34 games. She averaged 6.6 points and 2.7 rebounds in just under 20 minutes a contest.

A native of Garner, North Carolina, Kiaku initially began her collegiate career at North Carolina Central, where she spent just one season. In that lone campaign, Kiaku averaged 10.7 points, 2.9 rebounds and 2.1 assists per game as a freshman.

Kiaku joins Alabama transfer Chloe Spreen, Arkansas transfer Phoenix Stotijn, UCLA transfer Zania Socka-Nguemen and Virginia transfer Edessa Noyan has newcomers to the Hoosiers this offseason. Kiaku has one year of eligibility remaining.
