Mike Woodson is in for a rude awakening as the Indiana men’s basketball coach. The NBA to college path doesn’t work. A 63 year old with no college coaching experience can’t recruit. That’s what they all said anyway. One national commentator after another seemed all too eager to line up and take their shots after Indiana announced it had hired Woodson in late March. They may all prove to be right. But four weeks in, it doesn’t look that way. Not at all. USA Today’s Dan Wolken had to be shocked by the procession of New York Knicks players who…

Even an emerging program with by most accounts a great culture isn’t immune to the new era of roster turnover in college sports. Spring practice can bring clarity to the depth chart, and that may in part help explain a recent wave of IU football entries into the NCAA’s transfer portal over the last week. The latest to enter the portal is Miami, Fla. based wide receiver Gary Cooper. He follows a pair of defensive linemen, Jeramy Passmore and Damarjhe Lewis, who signaled their intent to find a new school earlier this week. Like Passmore and Lewis, Cooper is no…

No one knew what direction Indiana would go with much of anything when it was announced on March 15 that the school decided to part ways with Archie Miller. But for a handful of top in-state class of 2022 talents, it quickly became clear that irrespective of what happened, they were viewed as a priority by the transition team of Mike Roberts, Kenya Hunter and various administrative staff. For Westfield, Ind. point guard Braden Smith, that meant periodic conversations turned into daily contact. And with IU seemingly distracted by a regime change, that meant a lot to the Indiana junior…

The in-state class of 2023 isn’t particularly deep when it comes to high major college basketball prospects, but there are a few intriguing talents at the top with others likely to separate themselves this spring and summer. One of the more recent to emerge is Cathedral High School (Indianapolis, Ind.) forward Xavier Booker. The 6-foot-11 Booker has made a name for himself this spring playing for the George Hill All Indy AAU program. Booker has already had a conversation with new Indiana head coach Mike Woodson, and he appears to be a class of 2023 player on a trajectory to…
