Class of '66 Old Fart

Bucket game on Friday night Nov. 28, on NBC TV. Prime time for our Hoosiers. Homecoming Oct. 18, vs. Michigan State https://www.thedailyhoosier.com/indiana-football-the-2025-schedule-page/

Young Mr. Moody has put in more recruiting effort in his short time as a commit than ...... well you know who I'm talking about.

Apparently he has a longstanding relationship with Rod Clark from his time at Tennessee and DDV has been in direct contact with him as well so maybe there's been a lot more to this recruitment than I thought.

Indications are he's going to commit to Iowa and re-class to '25. PUke and Pork Chop have heavily recruited him.

Hadn't been hearing much about Cloer and I figured we were out of the picture but apparently we're not although I think we're a long shot to land him. https://www.on3.com/rivals/news/cole-cloer-down-to-8-schools-alabama-florida-indiana-louisville-nc-state-north-carolina-uconn-virginia/

3rd high school in 4 years. Started at Benet Academy and then to Lemont Academy both in Illinois and now headed west to Utah.

Brandon Jenkins - Davion Adkins, the No. 32 overall recruit in the national 2026 class, tells @247Sports he has scheduled fall official visits to #Rutgers & #TCU. Auburn, Houston, Indiana, Kansas, Kentucky, LSU, Texas, & UCLA will also be in play.

From what I've read he will remain a '26.

There will be no 3rd Senior Night for Anthony Leal https://247sports.com/college/indiana/article/ncaa-sources-indiana-guard-anthony-leals-appeal-for-an-extra-year-has-been-denied-251455436/

8-4 because we're not going to surprise teams and be overlooked.

Re-signs with Philly for his 18th NBA season. Pretty incredible accomplishment. https://www.thedailyhoosier.com/former-iu-star-eric-gordon-re-signs-with-philadelphia-for-18th-nba-season/?fbclid=IwY2xjawLR5ndleHRuA2FlbQIxMQBicmlkETFScnNSUXZOc0ZCZFFFdlc3AR6QRu9Fc2SinPYEUI6sU4OOQc4QR7dco0sxQiL3QciRfRi_O_-DAuUn-gYCzw_aem_iKoRAiQrufTiRSt1W_Vlvg
