And the group arriving this month looks a little different than who you may have grown accustomed to seeing come to check out Bloomington. IU is 14-7 over the last two seasons, and the Hoosiers are expected to enter their 2021 campaign as a top-20 program. All of that momentum has helped Tom Allen and his staff schedule a highly talented group of class of 2022 visitors in June.
