When it comes to producing elite basketball talent, the state of Kentucky seems to be quickly improving. Already in the class of 2023 you’ve seen Indiana swing and miss on top-60 prospects from the Bluegrass State in forward Kaleb Glenn and guard Reed Sheppard, who are headed to Louisville and Kentucky, respectively.  This follows the state producing just one top-100 talent in the three prior classes and generally speaking lagging far behind the state of Indiana in that regard. The class of 2024 projects to be strong at the top in Kentucky as well, and two of the better prospects…

In most basketball programs, excessive turnovers might land a player on the bench, and they might get a few stern words from their head coach. Those are tactics that Indiana head coach Mike Woodson has no doubt used from time-to-time to get someone’s attention who keeps giving the ball away to the other team. But the long-time NBA and first year college coach has another trick up his sleeve.  If his team exceeds their turnover limit for a game they have to run.  That’s still pretty standard stuff, but what’s worse is that they have to watch their 63-year-old head…

Roster management projects to be a major challenge across college football in the coming weeks, and already at least a fifth IU player has made a decision before the season ended.  Wide receiver Jacolby Hewitt is in the transfer portal. The 6-foot-1 and 202 pound Hewitt played in ten games for IU this season.  He caught eight passes for 47 yards, and added one rush for six yards.  Hewitt also returned 10 kickoffs for 226 yards for the Hoosiers. Hewitt made his debut on the field for Indiana in 2020.  He caught five balls for 68 yards for the season…

There was a lid on the rim on one end, and a game of give-away taking place on the other. A strong defensive effort by Indiana helped them run out to a 37-14 halftime lead at Simon Skjodt Assembly Hall in Bloomington and cruise to a 76-44 victory.  The defense helped to mask a mistake-riddled effort by the Hoosiers on the other end, something they’ll need to clean up before a looming high-major gauntlet arrives. Let’s take a closer look at the win with this edition of the Report Card. IU (4-0) will host Jackson State at 7 p.m. Eastern…

The luxury Indiana was enjoying when it started its last two games with all 13 scholarship players available has quickly vanished. The Hoosiers will be down to just 10 available scholarship players when they face Louisiana on Sunday evening. As we previously reported, Trey Galloway is out after having surgery on a wrist injury.  Indiana has labeled him as out indefinitely, although social media posts by his family indicate a 4-6 week timeline. As we reported in our Report Card following the St. John’s game, point guard Rob Phinisee has a calf injury and he will not play tonight.  Indiana…
