Class of 2022 top-70 wing Tyler Nickel had heard that Indiana was watching him play on live streams at various events during the late summer and early fall, but he hadn’t heard directly from the staff. Apparently IU liked what they saw. And when they made their first call to Nickel earlier this week, Indiana wanted to make that clear with the Virginia product. “They had been evaluating me but didn’t really contact me until they offered,” Nickel told The Daily Hoosier. “I was contacted first by (assistant) Coach Kenya Hunter, and then the next day I got a call…
Big Ten football finally returns this weekend after a more than 10 month absence of league play. Indiana opens the 2020 season at home against Penn State on Saturday. Penn State head coach James Franklin talked about Indiana at his weekly press conference on Monday. Here is what he had to say about the Hoosiers. You can watch the full video below. “Got a lot of respect for Tom Allen, I think he does a great job. And I have a lot of respect for Tom as a man, I think I think he’s done a great job for that…
The Daily Hoosier is previewing each position group during the final days leading up to the opening kickoff of the 2020 Indiana University football season on October 24 against Penn State in Bloomington. Today we take a look at the running backs. Once again Indiana finds itself with a talented stable of running backs in 2020. Still young but experienced, IU has a bruising 1-2 punch in junior Stevie Scott and sophomore Sampson James. But the Hoosiers finished No. 106 nationally in 2019 in rushing offense. With the attention focused on quarterback Michael Penix, Indiana will need more explosive plays…
At times Marcelino Ball’s fiery edge has gotten the best of him. Amped up for Indiana’s 2019 season opener against Ball State, Ball committed two 15-yard penalties, including an unsportsmanlike penalty after the whistle. “I don’t get it. To me it’s just stupid,” IU head coach Tom Allen memorably said after the game. What wasn’t stupid — Ball’s team leading 10 tackles against the Cardinals in an IU win. It has just been that way with the 6-foot, 220 pound husky from Roswell Georgia. Highs and lows. The highs are the elite playmaking skills of a football player with NFL…
The Daily Hoosier is teaming up with The Hoosier Experience podcast to bring you interviews with IU players, coaches and recruits. Top-40 2023 in-state forward and IU basketball recruiting target Jalen Hooks answered a wide range of questions with host Aidan Kunst.

The Daily Hoosier is previewing each position group during the final days leading up to the opening kickoff of the 2020 Indiana University football season on October 24 against Penn State in Bloomington. Today we take a look at the wide receivers. Indiana returns one of its top playmakers from the 2019 season along with a solid supporting cast at wide receiver. The group appears primed to give quarterback Michael Penix plenty of strong options as the offense looks to build on a breakout 2019 campaign, but the Hoosiers will need a couple players to step up and assume bigger…
Six weeks of the 2020 NFL season are now complete for 11 former IU stars with teams in the league. Take a look at how they did with our quick weekly recap of the Hoosiers in the NFL. Tevin Coleman (RB) – San Francisco 49ers Coleman did not play on Sunday despite being eligible to return from injured reserve. Coleman is unlikely to return in week seven as he continues to recover from a knee sprain. For the season Coleman has 18 rushes for 30 yards. He has added 3 catches for 34 yards in two games. Dan Feeney (OL) – Los…

Kaufman averaged 25.8 points, 9.6 rebounds, 2.9 assists, 1.6 blocks and 1.1 steals per contest for Silver Creek High School. Kaufman helped lead the Dragons to a 25-2 mark before the season was interrupted. He shot 64 percent from the floor overall, including 40 percent…
