Holt, 19, is being let go for “demonstrating exceptionally poor judgment” when he and Bryant were cited for illegal alcohol possession in the early morning hours of Aug. 21. Indiana also cited a prior mishap from Holt last year when he was driving a vehicle that accidentally struck teammate Devin Davis, which “should have motivated him to make better decisions.”
Holt averaged 3.6 points and 3 rebounds per game last season.
Bryant, 18, is a top recruit out of Rochester, N.Y.
