Over the weekend the news broke 2024 quarterback Timothy Carpenter is no longer committed to play for Indiana. That means new head coach Curt Cignetti and his staff are on the hunt for a new signal caller in the high school senior class. And the Hoosiers have wasted no time offering 2024 quarterbacks, with two going out in the last few days. In both cases Cignetti’s Hoosiers have offered a quarterback who had previously committed elsewhere, and where there was some degree of familiarity between IU or its new staff and the prospect. For the second time Indiana has offered…

According to a source, consensus national top-15 prospect Joson Sanon will visit Indiana the weekend of Dec. 16 when IU hosts Kansas in Bloomington. While Sanon is currently in the class of 2025, according to the same source a reclassification to 2024 is “very much on the table.” All four major national recruiting outlets list Sanon as a top-15 prospect. Two (ESPN and Rivals) say he is a 5-star guard. The Massachusetts product attends Vermont Academy and plays AAU basketball for the BABC on the Nike EYBL Circuit. The 6-foot-5 Sanon is the No. 4 shooting guard in the 2025…
New IU football coach Curt Cignetti and his developing staff appear to be in the process of assessing Tom Allen’s 2024 recruiting class. At least one verbal commit in the class, 2024 tight end Brody Kosin announced he was re-offered and still committed to IU. After talking with the new coaching staff I’m blessed to be Re-Offered and still 1000% committed‼️‼️ let’s get to work @IndianaFootball @CCignettiIU @coachgrantcain @CoachShanahan_ pic.twitter.com/9PN6REKzlh — Brody Kosin (@brody_kosin) December 3, 2023 But others are making different announcements.

Indiana has lost its quarterback in the 2024 recruiting class. Timothy Carpenter announced on Saturday he has de-committed from IU. Carpenter announced the news on his X account. It’s best for me to decommit from Indiana University and re open my recruitment. Respect my decision, Thank you IU for everything. It’s in God hands. — Timothy Carpenter (@timcarpenterqb) December 3, 2023 The Trotwood, Ohio product is a consensus 3-star recruit. 247Sports says he’s the 23rd best quarterback in the 2024 class. That outlet had him as the highest graded player in IU’s class. This marks the second time in three…
Indiana’s season ended in heartbreak in South Bend. With the College Cup on the line, the Hoosiers and Notre Dame couldn’t break a 1-1 tie in regulation or two overtimes. The Irish got the best of IU 5-4 on penalty kicks and advanced to college soccer’s final four. Indiana’s first attempt in the penalty shootout hit the post, and Notre Dame made the Hoosiers pay, scoring all five of their shots. The Hoosiers fell behind in the first half after Notre Dame scored on a free kick from roughly 20 yards out in the 17th minute. Indiana midfielder Patrick McDonald…
It’s going to be quite a ride in the coming weeks as new IU football coach Curt Cignetti rebuilds the IU roster and staff. As we’ve already seen with his assistant coaches, it would be reasonable to expect some influence from Cignetti’s No. 24 ranked 11-1 James Madison team. JMU starting quarterback Jordan McCloud plans to enter the transfer portal, and he’s certainly someone Cignetti could try to bring with him to Bloomington. The 6-foot and 200-pound McCloud threw for 3,413 yards and 32 TDs in 2023. He completed 68.9% of his passes and threw nine interceptions. He also ran…
Down a starter, Indiana flashed its best 32 minutes this season at a good time — at the start of the Big Ten season. IU jumped on Maryland from the outset, and claimed a 16-4 lead with 13:51 left in the first half. The Terps would never lead and never get closer than seven, and IU went into the half with a 40-28 edge. A 10-0 early second half run by the Hoosiers was decisive. Indiana led 61-39 with 8:08 remaining but got sloppy down the stretch and Maryland was able to make the game look closer than it actually…
BLOOMINGTON — In their 2023-24 Big Ten opener, Indiana defeated Maryland on Friday evening by a final score of 65-53 at Simon Skjodt Assembly Hall.

Indiana starting point guard Xavier Johnson will not play against Maryland in Friday’s Big Ten opener for both teams. The sixth-year point guard emerged from the IU locker room in street clothes and a boot on his left foot. Johnson suffered an injury during Indiana’s win over Harvard on Sunday during the first half and did not return. In six games this season, Johnson is averaging 10.5 points, 2.3 assists and 2.2 rebounds over 24.5 minutes per contest. Johnson missed most of the 2022-23 season after breaking his right foot. He received a medical hardship waiver during the offseason that…

According to a report by Matt Zenitz of 247Sports, Indiana is expected to hire several key components Cignetti’s James Madison staff.
