Jonathan Powell’s breakout spring continued in Bloomington on Thursday with an offer from Indiana while he was in town for an unofficial visit. Powell posted the news on his Twitter page and included some photos from his visit. https://twitter.com/jonathanp0well1/status/1522274735895330818?s=20&t=QYDO9LbhW4_bOtXQv2tDwA Playing for Adidas sponsored Wildcats Select, Powell has made a big impression this spring with several high-level scoring performances including a 45-point game during the first live period. Indiana assistant coach Brian Walsh was there for that performance and began pushing for a visit right away. On Thursday it was the IU staff who made a strong impression on Powell. “What…

It won’t be Archie vs. Sean, but according to a report Indiana is a finalizing a deal to play Arizona in Las Vegas in December. CBS Sports’ Jon Rothstein is reporting via multiple sources the two schools are finalizing plans to play at the MGM Grand Garden Arena on Dec. 10. An IU spokesperson confirmed with The Daily Hoosier that discussions have taken place but nothing has been finalized at this time. The move is part of an effort by Indiana to improve the caliber of its non-conference schedule. Arizona finished 33-4 last season in its first year under head…
Gabe Cupps isn’t scheduled to arrive at Indiana for more than a year, but already his spring schedule has sent him to the Hoosier State on multiple occasions. Playing for the Midwest Basketball Club, Cupps has spent two weekends in Fort Wayne and another in Noblesville over the last month. The Centerville, Ohio point guard has been a vocal supporter of IU basketball since he committed to the program in November, and when he finds himself in Indiana, he has noticed that love is reciprocated. “It’s awesome,” Cupps said of the support he is receiving from IU fans while on…
With the WNBA Draft and transfer portal deadlines behind us, it seems like a good time to look forward in women’s college basketball, and ESPN did just that when it published a so-called “way-too-early” top-25 for the 2022-23 season this week. Author Charlie Creme thinks Indiana will continue its recent run of nationally relevant high-level play. He placed the Hoosiers in his top-25 at No. 11, and Creme believes despite some key losses, IU’s transfer portal additions might make them a more well-rounded team next season. “Losing Nicole Cardano-Hillary, Ali Patberg and Aleksa Gulbe won’t be easy, but the additions…
Wichita State transfer Dexter Dennis took an official visit to Indiana a few weeks ago, and went straight to Clemson from there. Since then his list of potential landing spots for his final season of college basketball has only seemingly grown. The 6-foot-5 Dennis announced a final-six on Wednesday that included Indiana and Clemson, along with Kansas State, Vanderbilt, Texas A&M and Georgia Tech. A return to Wichita State appears to be off the table. Dennis started in 27 of Wichita State’s 28 games and finished second on the team in minutes per game with 31.1. He averaged 8.4 points…
T.J. Power has had high major offers and interest for a while. But things went to another level during the first recruiting live period in early April. After a repeat performance two weeks later, a new wave of offers and interest has followed. Playing for Boston-based BABC on the Nike EYBL Circuit, the 6-foot-9 Power averaged 18.3 points on 44.3 percent shooting from three and added 8.3 rebounds, 4.5 assists, and 1.5 blocks per game in the northern Indianapolis suburbs two weeks ago. Indiana has had coaches watching Power play this spring, and they jumped into the fray on Wednesday…
Former Indiana head coach Archie Miller had never really gone in depth publicly on what went wrong during his four year stop in Bloomington. Until Wednesday. Now a first-year head coach at Rhode Island, Miller went one-on-one with inbound Indiana media school student Talia Goodman on the “Off the Carousel” series on the Field of 68. Goodman asked Miller if there was anything he would have done different during his time at IU. Here is his full response: (The full interview by Goodman with Miller is below) “We recruited good players, we recruited good kids. I was happy to watch…
His sixth grade teacher urged him to go in 1975 and ultimately footed the bill. A gracious young Mike Woodson left with a T-shirt and a promise. “I remember my sixth grade teacher, which I couldn’t afford at that time to go to Bob Knight’s camp, pay for me to come down and I ended up winning a three-on-three contest at Coach Knight’s camp with two other kids,” Woodson recalled. “Coach gave me a T-shirt and told me he would follow me my senior year in high school and that’s all I needed to hear. And I had a great…
We wrap up our position-by-position overviews with the quarterbacks. The group looks far different than it did in November, when injuries forced IU to go to the fifth quarterback on the depth chart and a walk-on started against Purdue. Coming out of spring practice, IU has several healthy alternatives to run new offensive coordinator Walt Bell’s system. The competition for the starting job is open going into fall camp in August, but the early favorite is Missouri transfer Connor Bazelak. Bazelak threw for 5,084 yards with 23 touchdowns, 17 interceptions, and a 66.4 completion percentage in 20 starts (24 games)…
There was no easing into high school basketball for Heritage Hills H.S. freshman Trent Sisley. The 6-foot-7 forward had offers from Indiana and Purdue before he played his first game, and with the talent to back those offers up, Sisley was the center of attention every night in Southern Indiana. Double-teams, physicality, you name it, they tried it. “You learn how to play through that stuff,” Sisley told The Daily Hoosier. The numbers Sisley produced tell the story. He did more than play through it — he thrived. As a high school freshman Sisley averaged 19.9 points, 9.2 rebounds, 1.6…
