Part of learning basketball at Indiana is learning how to recruit. Second through ninth grade students are at the Mike Woodson Basketball Camp this week in Bloomington, and they started serenading class of 2024 wing Tyler Betsey on Wednesday at Simon Skjodt Assembly Hall. “We want Tyler,” the campers chanted, encouraged by Woodson, who said “I can’t hear you” as they did their part to pitch in on Betsey’s recruitment. “They know their basketball here in the state of Indiana,” Woodson said approvingly of the kids. Betsey is on campus as part of an official visit. https://twitter.com/nwflhoosier/status/1669330700082769922?s=20 The Daily Hoosier –“Where…
But can he recruit? That was the question when Indiana hired Mike Woodson 28 months ago. And it seemed to at least be a reasonable thought. After all, the man spent his entire adult life in the NBA. What did he know about college basketball recruiting? Woodson heard variations of that question on repeat throughout the first year of his tenure. But they’ve stopped — and with good reason.

Despite not having a cash cow for a football program, IU Athletics seems to be doing okay. Better than okay, really. At least in 2022.

The department raked in a record $166.8 million of revenue according to a USA Today report released on Monday.

After landing the program’s best ever high school recruiting class in 2022, the rankings say IU football experienced a major drop off in 2023. In fact, IU’s 2023 high school recruiting class ranks last in the Big Ten according to the major national recruiting outlets. But a college football program’s incoming talent is no longer measured by high school players alone. And in fact, since freshmen typically don’t produce in meaningful ways in year one, a program’s transfers should probably be given more weight when evaluating the potential impact of new players. ESPN attempted to measure the aggregate incoming talent…
