The Daily Hoosier spent the week down in The Bahamas in connection with IU basketball’s foreign tour and had several opportunities to see the team in action.  Since nothing was televised and not everything was public, we are going to go player-by-player in jersey number order to share our thoughts on what we saw and what to expect from Indiana’s 2021-22 roster. Miller Kopp was recruited out of the transfer portal to be a floor spacing 3-point shooter, and in 27 minutes of action in The Bahamas, he gave IU fans reason for optimism that he could be just that.…

We like ESPN staff writer Bill Connelly’s SP+ model because it is a data driven system using logical inputs — and thus unbiased. But biased Indiana fans likely won’t like what is says for the 2021 season. Connelly released his SP+ ratings recently for the coming season and Indiana comes in at No. 28 in the predictive analytical system. Connelly bases his preseason projection on three factors: 1.

Sometimes life’s inflection points come down to fairly black and white, binary decisions. In the case of Indiana offensive tackle Caleb Jones, the choice was this — his father’s ribs, or the NFL. Jones’ size has always been a topic of conversation since his arrival in Bloomington in 2017.  At 6-foot-8 he has always stood out above the crowd, even in football circles where almost everyone is above average size.  But Jones’ weight has been as much of the story, and for him it has been the aspect of his massive frame that has always been a challenge.  He has…

The Daily Hoosier is previewing each position group during the final days leading up to the opening kickoff of the 2021 Indiana football season on Sept. 4 against Iowa. Today we take a look at the safety and husky positions. As we shift from the cornerbacks to the safety and husky positions, one thing remains a constant — experience.  Indiana’s most impactful group in 2020 — the back-seven — returns almost in its entirety, and even welcomes back one of its most experienced and dynamic leaders.

One of the most common questions I have received in the last week is why Khristian Lander didn’t play more in The Bahamas. I will be the first to admit, I thought the second-year point guard from Evansville…
