As we reported a couple weeks ago, class of 2024 4-star guard Jaeden Mustaf was planning to take a visit to Indiana in June. We now have definitive dates for the visit. Mustaf will be in Bloomington June 8-10 according to Joe Tipton of On3. The 6-foot-6 guard will also visit N.C. State on June 4 according to Tipton. Mustaf has previously taken an official visit to Florida State. Earlier this year, the Washington, D.C. metro area product named a top-five of Indiana, N.C.

A couple more tidbits pertaining to the 2023-24 IU basketball schedule were revealed on Monday afternoon via reports. College basketball reporter Rocco Miller says IU will host Wright State on Nov. 16 at Simon Skjodt Assembly Hall. Under head coach Scott Nagy, the Raiders were 18-15 this past season and ranked No. 197 nationally according to KenPom. Indiana has faced Dayton, Ohio based Wright State twice, once in the 1993 NCAA Tournament, and again in 2010. The Hoosiers won both meetings by wide margins. CBS’ Jon Rothstein also reported on Monday that the previously announced game against Harvard will be…
In recent years IU fans had to sweat it out when it came to NBA Draft stay-or-go decisions by team stars. There was the decision by Juwan Morgan prior to the 2018-19 season, and multiple springs when it wasn’t clear what Trayce Jackson-Davis would do. This spring Indiana fans are still nervous about the roster of course, but it isn’t because of NBA Draft decisions. Jackson-Davis and Jalen Hood-Schifino both have their names in, and both are locks to keep them in. Hood-Schifino should hear his name called in the first round of the June draft, and Jackson-Davis seems certain…
It’s hard to believe we are still knee deep in roster construction scenarios here in the second week of May. But that’s where things stand at the moment. For the optimists, there’s this — Indiana still has a chance to put together a Big Ten title contending, deep run in March kind of team. And for the pessimists, well, there’s still a chance the outlook won’t be anywhere near that rosy when the season tips in November. When it comes to completing the IU basketball roster for the 2023-24 season — that is now just six months away — here’s…

Indiana just didn’t get players like this. So when Jerimy Finch transferred from Florida following the 2007, it created a considerable buzz in and around the IU football program. Coming off a 7-6 season and Insight Bowl appearance, Indiana appeared to be a program on the rise, and the addition of Finch only added to the heightened expectations. It was a return of sorts by Finch to IU. He originally committed to Terry Hoeppner’s Hoosiers before flipping at the last minute to Florida. Finch, Sr. appeared in three games at linebacker for the defending national champion Gators in 2007 before…
Jordan Geronimo left Indiana after three seasons and two head coaches, but it won’t be long before he makes a return trip to Bloomington. The 6-foot-6 Geronimo announced a week ago he is staying in the Big Ten with Maryland, and the Terrapins will play at Simon Skjodt Assembly Hall during the 2023-24 campaign. During his time at IU, Geronimo saw many opponents come to Bloomington and contend with the challenging road environment. “As a player at Indiana I always wondered what it was like to be a player on the other side at Assembly Hall,” Geronimo said on Friday…
Indiana added a promising young defensive lineman on Wednesday evening. Arizona State transfer Robby Harrison announced on his Twitter page he is headed to Bloomington. The 6-foot-4 and 325 pound Harrison has four years of eligibility remaining. He was thought of as a high ceiling prospect and one of the strongest players in the Sun Devil program. Harrison enrolled at Arizona State in January, 2022. He is listed by ASU as having played in three games during the 2022 season. He did not register any stats. West Virginia, Kansas, SMU, Marshall, Coastal Carolina, Louisiana, USF, Memphis, and Cincinnati were among…
