Indiana has added in-state forward Ian Stephens as a walk-on in the program. The 6-foot-6 Stephens averaged 15.2 points, and 7.9 rebounds while leading New Palestine H.S. (New Palestine, Ind.) to a school best 23 wins during his 2022-23 senior season. He was named Associated Press Honorable Mention All-State, All-Hoosier Heritage Conference and All-Hancock County First Team. Stephens is a good athlete and was very good player at New Palestine. When it comes to walk-ons, he looks to be in the mold of recently departed forward Nathan Childress, as perhaps the first walk-on off the bench and someone who could…

Class of 2024 5-star center Flory Bidunga is a priority target for Indiana. And with Kel’el Ware a good candidate to only spend one year in Bloomington, there is a strong opportunity for IU to present to Bidunga a good case for both a pipeline to the NBA, and immediate playing time. Bidunga caught up with multiple national reporters (Joe Tipton, On3, Travis Branham, 247) over the weekend at the Adidas 3SSB event in Texas.

A former IU 2024 target has come off the board and entered the in-state rivalry. Raleigh Burgess, a four-star power forward, has committed to Purdue. The 6-foot-11, 235-pound junior out of Cincinnati (Ohio) Sycamore chose the Boilermakers on Monday, citing the fit with the staff and proximity to home.

He’s the No. 19 power forward in the class. Cincinnati, Ohio State, Xavier and Virginia were some of the other…
Indiana football is no stranger to being on the wrong side of the college football record books. Last year the Hoosiers became the first program to reach 700 losses all-time. Until a few years ago they had the longest active streak without being ranked in the AP top-25. And while they’ve had plenty of chances lately, and have suffered some heartbreaking losses along the way, IU also has gone the longest of any Power Five program without a bowl win (1991). Of course we are only a couple seasons removed from Indiana being in the College Football Playoff conversation, so…
For the fourth straight year, IU Athletics can claim overall superiority over Purdue. Indiana holds a massive 11.5 to 4.5 edge over the Boilermakers in the annual Governor’s Cup competition with just four points left to be determined through the end of the 2022-23 academic year.

It originally was known as the Titan Series until 2004, when it was renamed the Crimson & Gold Cup. It became the Governor’s Cup in 2013. Points are awarded…
