Class of '66 Old Fart

CTM used the portal last year and expectations are she will again this year so I've started a new thread devoted to the women's program. Lafayette’s Makayla Andrews (5'10" G) has entered the transfer portal, per source. This season the senior averaged 13.2 ppg and 5 rpg this season. 42% FG; 22% on 3s; 78% FT. Over her 102 game career: 11.5p; 5.2r. 42% FG; 24% on 3s; 79% FT. Talia Goodman @goodmansport also does a good job of keeping up with women's portal news.

Happy now?

Not particularly surprising since she was just named MaxPreps Missouri POY Missouri Basketball Coaches Association

Bjorn is a 6'1" combo guard from Park Hill South HS in Riverside, MO. Riverside is a part of the Kansas City metropolitan area. Top Spot Basketball ranks her #7 in the '26 class.

Enright's visit starts on Tuesday. I would expect to have at least 1 or 2 staff members officially announced and in place for his visit.

Weekend Update. We will play a doubleheader tomorrow (3/28) starting at 2:00 p.m. ET. The second game is set to begin around 6:00 p.m. ET. The final game of the series will be Saturday at (3/29) at 12:00 p.m. ET.

Hoosiers (14-11) (5-4) host USC (14-10) (4-5) for a 3-game weekend series. Friday weather looks favorable but Mama Nature may have other ideas for Saturday and Sunday. USC team batting average .274 and they've only hit 23 HR and average just over 5 runs/game. We're batting .308 with 42 HR and average 9 runs/game. USC team ERA is 4.30; IU 5.48 (ouch) Radio Live Stats Friday @ 6:00 on B1G+ Saturday @ 2:00 on B1G+ Sunday @ Noon on BTN

Jamie Shaw - Brock Harding commits to TCU.

On the heels of receiving an offer from Maryland we jumped in with an offer of our own. Haralson attends Fishers HS in Fishers, IN and played AAU for Team Teague. Considering he's just a high school freshman, there's not much out there about him other than a general consensus that he's really good at basketball.

Zagoria - Kent State coach Rob Senderoff is expected to the next head coach at Fordham, per sources

Georgia guard Silas Demary Jr. will enter the transfer portal, source told @On3sports. The 6-5 sophomore from Raleigh, NC averaged 13.5 points, 3.9 rebounds, and 3.1 assists per game this season. 37% on 3s.

Committed to Arizona.

One man's opinion but interesting nonetheless.

Holy cow. You'd think it was an IU based podcast as highly as they spoke of DDV.

The only point I was making is that as these players are announcing that they are going into the portal and a list of schools that have shown interest is published, IU has not been listed on any of them. I guess I'm just not used to that. I honestly don't care when we get players signed if they are the right ones. I mean, Woodson was all over every portal announcement, and that got us nowhere, so I agree that I'll need to show some patience.... DDV's first days were spent notifying most of the current team and staff their services were no longer required. Also no doubt spent time lining up his staff and doing interviews and podcasts. Patience young grasshopper. This is only day #4 the portal has been officially open.

TBT is returning to Hinkle Fieldhouse for an INDIANAPOLIS REGIONAL, hosted by All Good Dawgs (Butler Alumni) and Assembly Ball (Indiana Alumni), July 18-23!

More positive and uplifting press for Michigan. lol

Jeez. I'm old. How am I expected to keep up with all this stuff? 8, 16,143,

Still got 8 teams playing in the Big Dance. How many more names will enter next Monday? Forget the number 8. Still got a bunch of teams playing. Gotta keep @Dave from Dayton happy.

Taking your word for it, I hid my original post.

Hoosiers (22-8) (2-3) are on the road for a Sat-Mon series with #18 O$U (27-6-1) (4-1). Saturday and Sunday games televised on B1G+. Monday's game on BTN. As a team, the Buckeyes are hitting .362 and average over 9 runs/game. For comparison, we average .390 and over 8 runs/game. Don't look for any pitching duels. Preview Saturday @ 2:00 Sunday @ 1:00 Monday @ 7:00

Purely FWIW - Kid from southern Indiana. Wouldn't expect any IU interest. Vanderbilt’s Alex Hemenway has entered the transfer portal, as a grad transfer. The 6’4” guard never suited up for the Commodores. Previously played at Clemson where he battled injuries and only appeared in 25 games from 2022-24. Hemenway is a 43% career 3 point shooter
