    IU Women's Soccer

    Pretty much total domination by the Spartans who get a 2-0 victory. We managed just 5 total shots, 4 on goal and 2 corners. MSU 11-6-2. IU women back home on Sunday at 1:00 to host Penn State.
  2. Our UNDEFEATED Indiana Hoosiers host the Spartans (3-3) (0-3) next Saturday afternoon.
  3. Great timing. Fresh off the huge upset road win over Oregon and just ahead of Homecoming. https://www.thedailyhoosier.com/breaking-iu-football-reaches-new-8-year-deal-with-curt-cignetti/ https://www.insidethehall.com/2025/10/16/iu-football-coach-curt-cignetti-agrees-to-new-eight-year-contract-worth-11-6-million-annually/ https://www.on3.com/teams/indiana-hoosiers/news/news-curt-cignetti-agrees-to-new-eight-year-contract-to-stay-at-indiana/ https://247sports.com/college/indiana/article/indiana-signs-football-coach-curt-cignetti-to-a-new-contract-116-million-annually-through-2033-257183926/ https://www.espn.com/college-football/story/_/id/46617941/indiana-announces-new-8-year-93m-contract-coach-cignetti https://www.heraldtimesonline.com/story/sports/college/iu/2025/10/16/curt-cignetti-indiana-football-agree-to-new-contract/86732086007/

    (2026) - Anthony Thompson

    Well then it will just be another stick up O$U's butt when AT commits to IU on the 21st.
  5. Please, your standing ovation is embarrassing. :-D
  6. It's never too early. Earlier in the week, The Daily Hoosier listed 4 prospect names in the '26 class and today, Dushawn London talks about Caleb Holt. Brayden Fogle (Lexington, Ohio) Tyran Stokes (Pittsburg, California) Caleb Holt (New Market, Alabama) Alex Constanza (Miami, Florida) https://247sports.com/college/basketball/recruiting/Article/Basketball-recruiting-Auburn-Alabama-Ole-Miss-Georgia-Caleb-Holt-190163708/

    2026 General Recruiting Thread (Bball)

    Agree. No school is going to pick up the tab for an OV if it's not a kid they truly want on the roster and they believe has genuine interest in the program. Just very strange how this is playing out.

    IU vs Marian (Exhibition) 10/17 7:30 B1G+

    DDV Zoom meeting with the media today - The following is from various X accounts. Nick Dorn (foot): Starting to work his way back in some action, not expected to play in Friday's exhibition, probably doubtful for Baylor exhibition, but is making good progress, per coach Darian DeVries. Says team is a lot more connected defensively since they played in Puerto Rico. Also says wants ball movement on offense. IU had 31 assists to 3 turnovers in a recent practice. Says Aleksa Ristic and Jason Drake will both be out when the season begins. This will likely keep the early rotation down to 7-8 players, will go up to 9-10 once they are back, DeVries says. DeVries says most of their offensive and defensive install is in, now it's a matter of tweaking things based on how they are guarded and adding new wrinkles. Darian DeVries said that he likes the lineup of Reed Bailey and Sam Alexis, but have been limited in using it in the summer due to lack of depth. Said he would love to use it this season when there is an opportunity to. Darian DeVries what he's seen & learned from Curt Cignetti: "We've used football as a reference for why they're good ... we want to be elite in not turning it over ... elite in our discipline ... elite in our toughness."

    (2026) - Anthony Thompson

    Top-100 prospect SF Jalyn Collingwood, announces his commitment at 5:30pm ET on the @CBSSportsCBB channel. O$U is one of his 3 finalists and I've read that should he pick the Bucknuts, that could be in our favor.

    High School Basketball Thread

    Pretty big news for Fishers HS yesterday. '26 Kai McGrew who previously attended Lawrence North was granted limited eligibility to play at Fishers this year by the IHSAA. His initial appeal to the IHSAA was also denied. However, on Tuesday, the Department of Education Case Review Panel overturned the decision, a source confirmed. McGrew will have full eligibility at the start of the season. McGrew, who averaged 14.5 points, 8.2 rebounds and 1.3 assists as a junior at Lawrence North, enrolled at Fishers on April 22, which was before the new IHSAA transfer rules went into effect, meaning his transfer process was under the previous transfer rules. The limited eligibility ruling limited McGrew to playing junior varsity games for 365 days from his last varsity game, which was in the Class 4A semistate on March 22 with Lawrence North.
