Tom Allen said that he wanted to keep the same offense, and Indiana is promoting from within for its next play caller. Former tight ends and quarterbacks coach Nick Sheridan will take over the reigns from Kalen DeBoer according to multiple reports. John Brice was the first to report the news, and Bruce Feldman of Fox Sports also reported via Twitter. Feldman reported that receivers coach Grant Heard was also being promoted to Co-offensive coordinator. The 31 year old Sheridan has spent the last three seasons at Indiana, and 2019 was his first as the tight ends coach. He oversaw…

A four year starter at left tackle may be looking elsewhere for a potential fifth year of college football. Coy Cronk has entered his name into the transfer portal based on several reports. Matt Hladik was the first to report the news on Twitter. https://twitter.com/MattHladik919/status/1215013751549779968?s=20 Cronk suffered a season ending lower leg injury on Sept. 21 against Connecticut. Because he did not play in more than four games the senior from Lafayette is eligible for a fifth season under the college football redshirt rules. Widely viewed as a player that would play professionally after the 2019 season before the injury,…

With Indiana fans currently obsessing over how long it should take to turn around a college basketball program, Northwestern presents a different question — what does that even mean? If you had asked any Wildcat fan whether head coach Chris Collins had turned around the NU program in 2017, the answer would have been an unwavering yes. That was after the Wildcats had made their first ever NCAA Tournament and advanced to the second round. Since then, Northwestern has produced a losing record each year and the trend signs are pointing down. The turnaround is only step one. As the…

Saturday at Maryland, Indiana had things going in reverse. On an individual level for a point guard, a longstanding benchmark for the assist to turnover ratio has been 2-to-1. Teams rarely reach that standard as a group. Notre Dame leads the country right now at 1.96. The top 50 teams nationally are all above 1.2. There were several things on the offensive end of the floor that were problematic for the Hoosiers against the Terrapins, but compiling a season low 7 assists against 14 turnovers was one statistical measure that jumped off the table. 14 turnovers in a tough road…
Citing unfinished business, one of IU’s most valuable players will be back for his senior season. After briefly considering the NFL Draft, Tampa, Fla. native Whop Philyor has announced that he will be back for his last year of eligibility with Indiana. Philyor made the announcement on his Twitter account Monday evening: https://twitter.com/SuperstarWhop/status/1214376143119409152?s=20 Before a concussion against Penn State caused him to miss more than a half against the Nittany Lions plus the following week against Michigan, Philyor had the single season IU receiving record books within his sights. James Hardy’s 2007 single season reception record of 79 and Ernie…

Throughout the entirety of Bob Knight’s coaching career, his teams had only allowed an opponent to go over 100 points one time. And then it happened. Three times. In ten days. The year was 1988, and the game, they speculated, was starting to pass him by. Indiana started the 1988-89 season 3-4 and gave up more than 100 points to Syracuse, North Carolina and Louisville. From that point Knight’s Hoosiers won 22 of 25 games. Often erroneously thought of as stubborn and unwilling to adapt, it was a midseason change that dramatically altered the course of that season. Specifically, Knight…
Under a rule established in 2018, college athletes competing in Division I football can participate in up to four games in a season without using a season of competition. Division I student-athletes have five years to compete in up to four seasons of competition. The new exception allows football players to preserve a season of competition if, for example, injuries or other factors result in them competing in a small number of games. Indiana will be able to take advantage of the redshirt rule with 12 of its true freshmen on the 2019 roster including two of its 4-star recruits…
