The Louisville men’s basketball program avoided major NCAA penalties for its role in both the 2017 federal investigation into corruption in college recruiting under former coach Rick Pitino, and for additional violations that occurred under his successor Chris Mack. But former IU assistant coach Kenny Johnson, and by extension former Hoosiers head coach Archie Miller, weren’t as fortunate. Johnson, who Miller hired to be an assistant coach at Rhode Island in April, was handed a two-year show-cause that includes language prohibiting him from some recruiting activity. Johnson will be allowed to remain on staff as an assistant coach, but he…

It sounds like there is still a chance Indiana starting linebacker Cam Jones will see the field before his eligibility runs out at the end of the month. But it won’t happen on Saturday when the Hoosiers face Penn State. Jones suffered a foot injury during the Nebraska game and hasn’t played since. On his radio show Wednesday evening, IU head coach Tom Allen said that while he doesn’t expect the Memphis, Tenn. product to return this Saturday, the outlook has improved. “He’s still working through it, but don’t expect him this week,” Allen said. “But he is getting closer,…
Seven former IU football players made 53-man NFL rosters to open the 2022 season, and now 11 have been on an active roster at some point during the season. Take a look at how they all did with our week eight recap of the Hoosiers in the NFL. Dan Feeney (OL) – New York Jets Feeney has played in all eight games this year, but continued in his reserve role in week eight. The former IU All-American saw four special teams snaps in a loss to New England. That’s been his role throughout the season thus far. He has played on…
If you see a familiar face with a familiar name on Thursday evening, yes, he’s who you think he is. Indiana hosts St. Francis in its second of two preseason exhibition games, and for the second straight contest there will be noteworthy IU connections on the opposing side. On Saturday, Marian Athletics Director and IU hall of fame member Steve Downing returned to Bloomington. Tomorrow, St. Francis junior guard Brayton Bailey will play in Bloomington — in the building where his father Damon produced his own IU hall of fame career. “It’s great, it’s going to be a great experience,…
Race Thompson made six 3-pointers on 28 attempts through his first three seasons in an IU uniform, good for just 21.4 percent from behind the arc. For some, there was enough history there, along with countless hours behind the scenes at practices for conclusions to be drawn. And when Mike Woodson took the job 19 months ago, those conclusions were shared with the new head coach. Woodson has said often he was told Thompson couldn’t make threes and couldn’t handle the basketball when he took the job, and his initial response to those observations was blunt. “I’m like ‘well hell,…
Indiana opened the season with mystery at quarterback, and the result was the Hoosiers biggest win of the year, a triumph over Illinois capped off by a late-scoring drive led by Connor Bazelak. But now on a five-game losing streak, IU finds itself desperately trying to reclaim that week one magic. Perhaps a new round of quarterback uncertainty will do the trick? Going into the bye week, IU coach Tom Allen said the performance level at every position would be evaluated, including quarterback. Bazelak has started each of Indiana’s first eight games this season. He is normally part of the…
Indiana’s leading wide receiver Cam Camper has suffered a season-ending injury coach Tom Allen announced on Monday. “Unfortunately Cam Camper has torn his ACL, and he’ll be out for the rest of the season,” Allen said. “He’ll have surgery in the near future. He did that in the first half against Rutgers. Obviously we feel terrible for him. He’s a huge part of our team. He’ll be beginning that long road to recovery and our staff will do a great job of getting him ready for the fall.” Camper leads IU with 46 receptions for 569 yards. He ranks 32nd…
Indiana still has no frontcourt players in its 2023 recruiting class, and they need a couple with Trayce Jackson-Davis and Race Thompson both moving on after this season. With options dwindling in the high school senior class, they’d gladly welcome an elite 2024 prospect who was looking to move up a year. It appears two, maybe three of IU’s 2024 center prospects are at least considering doing just that. Rivals national analyst Travis Graf says there is reclassification chatter involving 2024 centers Flory Bidunga and Somto Cyril. A third Indiana 2024 big man target, Montverde Academy’s Derik Queen, has also…
