I think this fits both our men's and women's programs this year.

Indiana WR Jackson Wasserstrom is entering the transfer portal, he tells @chris_hummer. He will remain with the Hoosiers for the national championship game on Monday. The 5-foot-11, 175-pounder appeared in seven games this season, recording two catches for 17 yards

I see multiple posters worried about the O line next season and saw these announcements today. Know absolutely nothing about any of them and they could be 4th stringers for all I know, just saw they were O linemen entering the portal. Garrison Banks - UCLA - 4 years elig. https://www.on3.com/college/ucla-bruins/news/ucla-offensive-lineman-garrison-blank-enters-transfer-portal/ Melvin Siani - Wake Forest Jordan Seaton - Colorado Reported as All-Conference Jamal Meriweather - Georgia

247 reports Drew Adams will see Caleb Coolman today so will be surprised if he leaves Bloomington on Saturday without an IU offer.

Players names are on page 1 of the indictment https://www.scribd.com/document/981641066/Sports-Betting-Indictment-in-Philadelphia#content=query:buffalo,pageNum:22,indexOnPage:0,bestMatch:false

Investigators identified Western Michigan, Butler, St. John's, Tulane, East Carolina, McNeese State, Nicholls State, Saint Louis, Duquesne, La Salle, Fordham, Buffalo, Kent State, Ohio, Georgetown and DePaul as the schools affected by the alleged scheme. https://www.cbssports.com/college-basketball/news/college-basketball-players-point-shaving-fixing-games-fbi-scandal/

Alec Lasley - Michigan State transfer running back Makhi Frazier currently on his visit to Indiana. A name to keep an eye on.

SIAP from Rivals - Miami has 37 former blue-chip recruits, while Indiana has 6.

We bled to death!

66-31 win. She played 20 min. Landed awkwardly 2 min. into the 4th and did not return. Spent rest of game walking up and down behind the bench limping slightly.

I feel like our men's and women's teams too often seem like they're dying by a thousand cuts and we don't have enough bandages. Hopefully tonight we do.

It's truly official because Mel Kiper say's so. https://www.on3.com/pro/news/mel-kiper-jr-crowns-fernando-mendoza-top-prospect-in-2026-nfl-draft-no-question-about-it/?fbclid=IwY2xjawPU-wtleHRuA2FlbQIxMQBzcnRjBmFwcF9pZBAyMjIwMzkxNzg4MjAwODkyAAEenl_aKaXzOq3mDagKaJW00HhFfn1KzmK0cKr9G6mNFedQOP9x8NaIpgweVFw_aem_2BDyA_7mUsYAGeHoeVlLOg

I wasn't totally clear, is the above now an actual fact or does it still have to have a higher level of NCAA OK?

When Knight was head coach absolutely yes. But this was in the age long before any form of social media, podcasts, etc., and information was pretty much limited to whatever the Indpls. Star published. Hardly ever got any real indication of who Knight was recruiting until a commitment was announced.

'28 6'5" CG Caleb Coolman of Penn High School will be at this Saturday's Iowa game. Averaging 19.9 points, 9.4 rebounds, 5.8 assists, and 2.4 steals per game. Plays AAU for Indiana Elite. Coached by his dad at Penn HS.

Jacob Bushue added to Coach Yeagley's staff. https://iuhoosiers.com/news/2026/1/14/mens-soccer-bushue-returns-to-bloomington-as-soccer-assistant-coach

If this is such a big deal, why isn't Paul BaldTrollDumb@$$ and the other shills raising the roof over it solely to make IU look bad?

Grace Berger is set to bring proven pro experience and an accomplished college resume back to Athletes Unlimited Pro Basketball this winter in Nashville. https://auprosports.com/read/grace-berger-returns-for-2026-au-season/

14 games into her high school season. 12.1p, 6.0r, 3.6a, .9s, .9b, 2.2t 43% FG, 30% on 3s, 68% FT

14 games into her season: 25.3p, 9.5r, 2.1a, 2.4s, 2.1b, 2.6t 45% FG, 30% on 3s, 80% FT

Just won't seem the same without the Franimal roaming the Iowa bench. Hawkeyes (12-4) (2-3) and 0-3 in true road games so maybe that will continue on Saturday. Hawkeyes average 79 ppg with a +17 margin shooting 51% FG and 37% on 3s. They average 32 rpg with just a +3 margin which hopefully works to our advantage. They turn it over 10/game vs. their opponents 15/game. They have just one double digit scorer in Bennett Stirtz at 17.6 ppg. Cam Manyawu at 4.7, Tavion Bank at 4.6 and Alvaro Folgueiras at 4.1 are their leading rebounders. Folgueiras and Cooper Koch both at 42% are their leading 3-point shooters followed by Stirtz at 39% who is their highest volume 3-point shooter. Stirtz averages 35 min./game on the court. Next two highest on the team play 25 min./game. Trivia note - Cooper Koch at one time held an IU offer. A winnable game but will we? Radio Live Stats

For whatever reason, her game stats haven't been updated on MaxPreps since Dec. 18, so what I have since then is from random sources or games I've watched. 15-games averaging 21.2ppg. 12-game averages: 10.5r, 1.3a, .4s, 1.0b Her team is 10-6 on the season. It's reported she's a priority target and was on campus on Dec. 27. She's listed at 6'3" and there's simply no way you can politely describe a girl's physical build so I'll just say she's not a beanpole and she's not an Audie Crooks. Couple of things that stand out to me. First, don't throw her any passes that she has to reach down for. Second, she needs Burgess Meredith making her chase chickens in an alley to improve her lateral quickness and overall agility.
