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. WHO IS GONE Unlike the cornerbacks, there is one major headline loss in this…
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. 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…

A fan favorite event is scheduled to return in 2021. IU men’s and women’s basketball will host Hoosier Hysteria on Oct. 2 according to a release by the school.

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 cornerbacks. We’ll start our 2021 position previews with the group many feel is the program’s best going into the season. Not everyone is fortunate enough to have an All-Big Ten cornerback, and Indiana was the only team in the league to have two. Both of them are back along with a highly respected third piece of the puzzle and a lot of younger talent…

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. For the first time in his IU career, Rob Phinisee has serious competition at the point guard position. But even if the presence of Xavier Johnson means Phinisee is likely to see the floor less in 2021-22, he…
Indiana’s top big man on the board in the class of 2022 has cut his list down to four. South Carolina based forward Noah Clowney told Joe Tipton of On3 he will choose between Indiana, Florida, Alabama and Virginia Tech for his college destination. The 6-foot-10 Clowney is scheduled to take an official visit to Indiana on the last weekend of August. The Hoosiers were one of the first high majors to start recruiting him when they offered a scholarship in April. Since then Clowney has moved into the national rankings as a 4-star recruit and the No. 75 overall…
