Class of '66 Old Fart

Now a fulltime staff member https://iuhoosiers.com/news/2024/7/3/mens-basketball-adam-howard-named-assistant-director-of-recruiting-and-operations

Just a quick clarification. It was an "open" practice, i.e., open to the media but not to the general public at least from what I've read.

Not from anything I've read. Expect him on the PR trip although don't anticipate a lot of minutes simply because he won't have had much practice time with the team.

First underclassman offer for our new head coach.

Might be questionable per 247. Has to get a visa and other stuff in order before he can travel to the U.S.

OV scheduled for the weekend of Sept. 20 - B1G football opener vs Illinois. Staff definitely have him as a 2027 priority target. https://247sports.com/college/indiana/article/indiana-basketball-recruiting-chase-branham-official-visit-logan-rogersville-mo-kc-run-gmc-252141273/

Jeff Rabjohns @JeffRabjohns Erin Thomas, the No. 22-ranked women’s basketball prospect in the 2028 class, has scheduled an Indiana visit for Thursday. Thomas (@erin__thomas1) is a 6-foot-1 guard from Princeton (OH).

He had a strong AAU season averaging 21.7 pts over 18 games shooting 47% FG; 38% on 3s; 79% FT; 4.8 reb; 3.6 asst; 1.2 stls; 2.4 to.

If you're 6'11" and weigh over 300 lbs you're fully entitled to refer to yourself as "The Big Show"

He gone. Committed to Florida State.

Offered by Woody but it's never gone any further than that.

I think some time back @Demo said we should go ahead and offer Allen.

Brandon Jenkins @BJenkins247 Top-25 national 2027 recruit Davion Thompson says he's been hearing consistently from Indiana, Michigan, Michigan State, Oklahoma, among others since coaches could officially reach out. NOTE: Thompson has a longstanding relationship with Rod Clark.

Made her final 7 after offering just 2 months ago.

Transferring to Eagle's Landing Christian Academy in McDonough, GA (southeast of Atlanta but a part of the Atlanta metropolitan area). It's X account indicates it has had 41 Final Four appearances, 24 times State Runner-Up, and 18 State Championships (across all sports).

Sounds like he's being recruited as a '26 by most all of the schools. https://247sports.com/college/basketball/recruiting/article/2027-basketball-recruiting-top-international-recruit-sayon-keita-schedules-official-visits-to-kansas-kentucky-north-carolina-duke-uconn-indiana-252116195/ https://www.insidethehall.com/2025/07/28/elite-class-of-2027-big-man-sayon-keita-to-take-iu-basketball-official-visit/ https://www.on3.com/teams/indiana-hoosiers/news/2027-international-center-sayon-keita-schedules-visit-to-indiana/?fbclid=IwY2xjawL03IFleHRuA2FlbQIxMQBicmlkETFXVXNNR2xORk52Y2Z2NTNQAR5u_ZVCbmkoPfI3F8SEazu1t1TknrmbIHlASOGzSzRSiv4iAoC_xXiToLG1oQ_aem_FQuOg7SyPd-Asi55nE8dWQ

Just as long as they can’t access the mods off-shore retirement accounts. Priorities you know.
