Indiana safety Louis Moore was granted a temporary restraining order Wednesday against the NCAA in connection with his pursuit to play for the Hoosiers in 2025. For now, he’s eligible. But this is not the final step in Moore’s battle against the NCAA. According to Dallas County court records, the case now proceeds to an Aug. 27 hearing. The purpose of the hearing will be to determine whether this temporary restraining order should be made a temporary injunction pending full trial on the merits. A temporary injunction would likely clear Moore to play for the full 2025 season. Moore was…

The Daily Hoosier spent the week in Puerto Rico to bring back an inside look at the 2025-26 edition of IU basketball — the first year of the Darian DeVries era. Below are some of our key big picture, team-wide takeaways from the trip. ONE WORD:  RESILIENCE I had the opportunity to watch Darian DeVries’ Drake team play an NCAA Tournament game on press row in 2023, and his West Virginia squad from the same courtside perspective in the Bahamas in 2024.  I remember noting in both cases how hard his teams played.  Effort was never in question. It’s only…

It will be very difficult for a true freshman to break through and see meaningful snaps at wide receiver for Indiana in 2025. The Hoosiers have five veterans with an impressive resume of proven production over their careers.  And as you know, that’s music to Curt Cignetti’s ears. Each has played at least the equivalent of two full college seasons at the FBS level, with some seeing more snaps at lower levels too: (FBS stats shown) Elijah Sarratt – 135 catches, 2,148 yards, 16 TDs (26 games) Jonathan Brady – 98 catches, 1,317 yards, 10 TDs (41 games) Makai Jackson…

Indiana has to replace two players currently at NFL training camps along the interior of the defensive line. They would be C.J. West and James Carpenter, who lined up inches from each other in 2024 but are currently on opposite ends of the country — San Francisco and Jacksonville, respectively. They also have to replace Lanell Carr, who played most of the snaps on the outside opposite Mikail Kamara a year ago. But the Hoosiers brought in multiple transfers during the offseason, and alongside Kamara, they are showing signs the defensive line could continue to be a strength of the…

Indiana plays a second game Monday (11 a.m. ET) against Serbian professional team Mega Superbet in Puerto Rico. Here is a bit more background on the squad IU defeated 93-71 on Saturday evening: Bogoljub Markovic:  A 6-foot-11, 20-year-old.  A 2025 NBA Draft second round selection of the Milwaukee Bucks.  Posted 14 points, 7 boards, 2.6 assists and 1.7 steals/blocks for Mega in 2024-25. Asim Djulovic:  A 6-foot-5, 19-year-old guard.  Placed name in 2025 NBA Draft before withdrawing.  Played this past season for OKK Beograd in the Basketball League of Serbia. In the most recent season, he averaged 18 points, 6…

SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico — Indiana guard Lamar Wilkerson did a double take when he was told the Hoosiers went on 70-19 run against Mega Superbet on Saturday evening. “That was the run?” Wilkerson said, shaking his head in disbelief.  “I didn’t think it was that bad.” That kind of run was inconceivable as IU fell behind 44-21 in the first half to the Serbian professional team at the Coliseo Roberto Clemente. Mega looked like the more physical team, and the more aggressive team.  Indiana was on their heels. “At first they were punking us, they were being more physical,”…

Indiana appears to have a major eligibility question in their defensive backfield. ESPN’s Heather Dinich is reporting safety Louis Moore is suing the NCAA in order to be eligible to play the 2025 season.  The Daily Hoosier can confirm the report via a source. “Louis Moore, a 24-year-old safety who has started games at both Ole Miss and Indiana, is suing the NCAA for another year of eligibility so he can finish his playing career with the Hoosiers, arguing that his time at Navarro Junior college in Texas should not count against him,” Dinich wrote.  He cited the potential losses…

Class of 2026 center Ethan Taylor will take an official visit to Indiana the weekend of Sept. 19 according to a report by Joe Tipton of On3. A Kansas product, Taylor is also down to a final six that includes Indiana, Kansas, Kentucky, Michigan State, Oklahoma, and Oregon.  He plans to visit all six schools. Taylor’s IU visit lines up with Indiana’s highly anticipated football game against Illinois. Based on the average of the national outlets, Taylor is a 4-star prospect, the No. 24 overall player in the 2026 class, and the No. 2 center. Playing for Mokan Elite, Taylor…
