Tom Allen says he never had to ask Jaylin Lucas if he got offers from other schools after his All-American freshman season. “I knew he did,” Allen said on Thursday. “I was born at night but not last night. The tampering, it’s going on, and it’s bad.” For years after seasons came to an end, one of the first things Allen did was hop on planes to make recruiting visits. But following the 2022 campaign, Allen took a re-recruiting trip. Tabbed a first-team All-America kick returner by CBS Sports, Pro Football Focus, Walter Camp and USA Today, Lucas likely could…

What a difference a year makes. In late July of 2022, IU basketball had two commits in the rising senior class, and all of their major targets had for the most part wrapped up their official visits. Fast forward to today, and Indiana has no class of 2024 commits, and almost all of their main targets are either in the midst of their visits, or just getting started. No one IU is after seriously right now seems to be close to a relatively near term (i.e. – next month) college decision. The Hoosiers are one of just four Big Ten…
