The 6-foot-8…

Our transfer portal names to know series involves players with rumored interest or interesting connections with IU basketball. Jalen Haralson is a player who needs no introduction to most IU basketball fans. The Hoosiers were involved in Haralson’s recruitment as a high school prospect before he played his first game as a freshman, and IU ended up as one of three finalists before he chose Notre Dame. After one season with the Irish, Haralson is back on the market. And in his lone season in South Bend, Haralson lived up to the hype. In 23 starts and 27 games played, Haralson…

TCU head coach Sonny Dykes came across as bitter last week when discussing his now former quarterback Josh Hoover. During an interview with State of the Frogs, Dykes made comments about Hoover that went viral on social media. “I mean, I think you know that — look, numbers are numbers, and stats are stats. And I think you know, you look for us, and I think Josh started 31 games here as a quarterback, and we turned the ball over 40 — he turned the ball over 42 times in those 31 starts,” Dykes said. Those turnover numbers are accurate,…

One of IU football’s top first-year players is no longer listed on the roster. Just a couple practices into the spring, 4-star freshman edge rusher Kevontay Hugan is not listed on the team’s online roster. A product of Sarasota, Fla., Hugan originally committed to Louisville before flipping to Indiana last summer.  He arrived in Bloomington in January as a midyear enrollee. Hugan attended Booker H.S. in Sarasota. He was a 4-star according to the average of the national recruiting sites, and the second-highest rated recruit in IU’s 2026 class. Indiana has good depth at the edge position, meaning Hugan had…

After six departures were announced in recent weeks, IU women’s basketball was able to share some positive news Tuesday evening. Three key players from the 2025-26 team are returning, the program announced on its social media pages.

IU football can set new standards and end long streaks at this year’s NFL Draft. The program hasn’t had a No. 1 overall pick since Corby Davis in 1938, and it hasn’t had a first round pick since Thomas Lewis in 1994.  Those two runs appear certain to end. The most players Indiana has had drafted in a single year was seven in 1976 — during an era when there were a lot more rounds and a lot more players selected. Six IU players were drafted in 1944 and 1947. Will the record for most Hoosiers chosen in a draft…

Indiana All-American left tackle Carter Smith had offseason shoulder surgery and will miss the entirety of spring practice. Smith told the media Tuesday morning he had a procedure to repair a labral tear in his left shoulder.  The injury related to the 2025 season and the surgery was before the start of spring practice. The 6-foot-5 and 313-pound Smith says he should be able to return to weight lifting in a few weeks, and should be fully available for fall camp and the 2026 campaign. Named a first-team All-American by multiple outlets in 2025, Smith said part of his decision…
