Seven former IU football players made 53-man NFL rosters to open the 2022 season, an eighth was added following the first weekend, a ninth was promoted from the practice squad for week two, and a tenth was promoted for week four. Take a look at how they all did with our fourth quick weekly recap of the Hoosiers in the NFL. Dan Feeney (OL) – New York Jets Feeney has played in all four games this year, but continued in his reserve role in week four.  The former IU All-American saw four special teams snaps in a win over Pittsburgh.  That’s…

Mike Woodson was asked earlier this week in a podcast about the potential for resuming Indiana’s series with Kentucky, and honestly, his answer sounded too generic to warrant an article. “That can possibly happen in the future,” Woodson said on the podcast with Jon Rothstein. “I just think that (Kentucky coach John) Cal(ipari) and I and the ADs and the administration, we have to just come to some common ground and see what happens. I know that our fans would love to see it and I’m sure Kentucky fans would love to see it as well.” That seemed like the…

Indiana is returning five of its top-six scorers from a year ago, and Mike Woodson was asked which of those five will take the biggest jump in 2022-23. But Woodson’s mind immediately went to his seventh leading returning player in terms of point production from last season. Who’s going to make the biggest jump? “I like to think Tamar Bates, he’s been a guy we targeted when we first brought him to do some special things for us,” Woodson told Jon Rothstein on the College Hoops Today podcast.  “But as a freshman he had some ups and downs.  Summer work…

Midweek 9:15 p.m. tips aren’t always conducive to visits by high school athletes, but Indiana will no doubt try its best to leverage a marquee matchup against North Carolina on Nov. 30 for that purpose. Previously we told you in-state class of 2025 products Jalen Haralson and Trent Sisley will be guests of IU at the game. Over the weekend, 247Sports national analyst Adam Finklestein reported another elite 2025 prospect will be an attendee – Pennsylvania based guard Meleek Thomas.  Indiana offered Thomas a couple weeks ago. Finkelstein wrote Thomas was the “most impressive underclassman” over the weekend at the…

In total, eight former IU basketball players are in training camps as the NBA begins its 77th regular season on Tuesday, Oct. 18.  And when one hits the hardwood, he’ll set a new standard. Camps opened on Sept. 27, and preseason action began on Sept. 30. Here are the eight Hoosiers vying for roster spots. OG Anunoby, Toronto Raptors Put Anunoby in the category of a lock to make the Raptors roster as he continues to climb the NBA ladder.  He begins his sixth year…

Two significant recurring themes emerged from Indiana’s first four games of the season, and there is a link between them. Earlier this week we discussed how IU’s slow starts are making life difficult.  That phenomenon isn’t exclusive to the offensive line, but it seems fair to say Indiana’s five in the trenches have been a net negative through the first quarter of the 2022 campaign. It’s no surprise the line is one of the team’s weaknesses.  Tom Allen wasn’t afraid to say that was a group he was most concerned about coming into the season, and two major injuries have…

Indiana became bowl eligible with a late October win in Lincoln three years ago. Today they likely need an early October win there if they are to reach the coveted six-win mark in 2022. The Cornhuskers are in a complete state of flux as they go through a coaching change, but they’ve had an extra week to get organized. Indiana, on the other hand, is trying rebound from its first loss of the season, and hope that once again, a sold-out Memorial Stadium in Lincoln is their elixir. Here’s everything you need to know about IU’s fifth game of the season.…
