New Indiana coach Mike Woodson continues to round out his staff. On Monday the program announced the addition of team and recruitment analyst Mike Stump, who hails from central Indiana and attended Cathedral High School. Stump was most recently with the Fort Wayne Mad Ants organization.

IU fans will have to look the other way on Stump’s alma mater. He was a manager for the Kentucky men’s basketball program during his time as a student in Lexington. There…
The Daily Hoosier was at the Bill Hensley Memorial Run ‘n Slam in Fort Wayne this weekend, watching and talking to IU recruiting prospects.

We will continue to dig deeper into the class of 2023 and beyond as the spring and summer rolls on. Here are some of our key notes from the weekend. Leland Walker is a class of 2022 Indianapolis based guard who has been on the IU radar for well over a…

Indiana has been recruiting the 6-foot-4 DeMatha High School product since assistant coach Kenya Hunter joined the staff in August.

Indiana has secured its first official visit since the NCAA decided to reopen in-person recruiting effective June 1. The Hoosiers offered a scholarship to 6-foot-6 small class of 2022 small forward/wing Justin Taylor back in August, and after his first video conference with head coach Mike Woodson, he is ready to make the journey to Bloomington in June for one of his five official visits he tells The Daily Hoosier.

Indiana doesn’t have any available scholarships at this moment, but that hasn’t stopped the staff from reaching out to potential additions to the 2021-22 roster. The latest name connected to IU is a very intriguing big man from an atypical pathway to high major college basketball. ESPN’s Jonathan Givony reported that Indiana is in contact with Shawnee State forward EJ Onu. According to Givony’s report, Onu has very attractive measurables at 6-foot-11, 240 pounds and a 7-foot-6 wingspan — and he combines those physical attributes with a highly versatile skillset. Onu is athletic, mobile, can run the floor, and he…
If they don’t bring in a point guard in the class of 2022, that position will spring to the top of the priority list for Indiana after the upcoming season. Indiana’s only class of 2023 offer thus far has been to a point guard, and that belongs to Lafayette, Ind. product Dra Gibbs-Lawhorn. Quickly rising up the charts is another Midwest floor general — Illinois native Jeremy Fears. 247Sports national writer Travis Branham reported earlier this week that Indiana is “highly interested” in the rapidly emerging Fears. The previous IU staff had some limited involvement, but now that has apparently…
