There’s a strong chance Indiana football will land its best high school recruiting class ever with the class of 2027. The Hoosiers are riding an unprecedented wave of momentum, and they are leading contenders for several elite prospects in the current junior class. Below is a look at the players who have announced their intent to take official visits to Bloomington this spring and summer.  We’ll pin this post to the recruiting drop-down menu, and make changes as updates come in. The periods when on campus visits are allowed are March 2 through May 23, and May 28 through June…

Darian DeVries and his IU basketball staff have made a splash this week with one of the nation’s best transfer portal hauls. But the Hoosiers still have three open spots on the roster as of Friday morning. And while they appear to have a solid first six or seven players, there are still some rotational and backstop needs that need to be addressed. The good news, IU has not only added talent this portal cycle, but they already have a functioning team, with starting caliber players at each position. But in at least two ways, Indiana has done the easy…

Watch as IU football running back Turbo Richard and offensive lineman Joe Brunner met with the media Thursday morning in Bloomington.

A lot of moving parts remain, but there are some early clues Indiana basketball’s 2026 roster rebuild is positioning the Hoosiers as a nationally relevant team for the 2026-27 season. In his latest update to the “Rothstein 45,” well known national college basketball analyst Jon Rothstein pegged Indiana as the No. 15 team for the 2026-27 season. Rothstein updates his offseason rankings daily as transfer portal and NBA Draft decisions impact the teams.  His update today comes following IU’s addition of Alabama transfer big man Aiden Sherrell, and Villanova guard Bryce Lindsay. Rothstein has typically been an IU basketball skeptic,…

To say that IU basketball is off to a good start with its 2026 roster rebuild would be an understatement. Second-year coach Darian DeVries has filled six of his nine roster openings, and the early returns indicate the Hoosiers have one of the nation’s best transfer portal classes. On3’s algorithm measuring net roster improvement via the portal, comparing transfers in vs. out, says Indiana has the nation’s No. 1 class.  247Sports’ model, measuring only additions, says IU is No. 2. Those rankings have misled IU fans in the past. But here are two things that are not misleading. The current…

Indiana received a commitment from Villanova transfer guard Bryce Lindsay on Wednesday evening. A 6-foot-3 and 194-pound shooting guard from Baltimore, Md., Lindsay averaged 12.3 points per game for the Wildcats in 2025-26. Lindsay was listed by Villanova as a redshirt sophomore, so apparently he has two years of eligibility remaining despite playing in three seasons already.  Injuries ended his freshman season at Texas A&M after just eight games, so a medical hardship waiver is the likely path. He is a 3-point specialist, with 65% of his career attempts coming from long range.  Over the last two years, Lindsay has…

Alabama transfer forward/center Aiden Sherrell announced his commitment to Indiana basketball today. The 6-foot-11 and 255-pound Sherrell averaged 11.1 points, 6.2 rebounds, 1.1 assists and 2.2 blocks per game as a sophomore in 2025-26. He ranked No. 2 in the SEC in blocks and No. 13 in Division I. He recorded 76 blocks, which ranks No. 7 on Alabama’s all-time single season list and led the SEC. Sherrell’s shooting splits were 53.8% overall, 33.3% from three (on 78 attempts), and 71.4% at the free throw line. A product of Detroit, Mich., Sherrell has two years of eligibility remaining. He played…

Our transfer portal names to know series involves players with confirmed/rumored interest and/or interesting connections with IU basketball. Indiana is after one of the most coveted freshmen in the transfer portal. In a highly competitive recruitment, 6-foot-4 and 200-pound New Mexico transfer shooting guard Jake Hall is a name to know. Early reports have IU, Duke, North Carolina, Kansas, UConn and many others in pursuit. Hall helped lead New Mexico to a 26-11 season and a run to the NIT semifinals. Hailing from Carlsbad, Calif., Hall was the the 2025-26 Mountain West Freshman of the Year and First Team all…

Add this to Curt Cignetti’s ammunition for 2026. After offseason roster overhauls and early spring developments, ESPN projects IU football is the third-best team in the Big Ten ahead of the 2026 season. Coming off a 16-0 national championship season, the outlet placed Ohio State and Oregon ahead of the Hoosiers. But they still have the defending champs in the top-10.  IU has never opened a season in the top-10 of the AP top-25, a run that seems certain to end when the first poll is released in August. Here’s how ESPN currently projects the national top-10 this spring: Ohio…

Former IU basketball player Logan Duncomb will play his final season of college basketball back in the Hoosier State, and back at the high major level. But it won’t be in Bloomington. After being named the 2026 Big South Conference Player of the Year, Duncomb transferred from Winthrop to Notre Dame this week. The 6-foot-10 Duncomb had a breakout season.  He ranked second in the league in scoring (18.3 ppg) and second in rebounding (8.9 rpg). He posted 14 double-doubles and had 14 games with 20 or more points. The Cincinnati, Ohio, native shot an efficient 60.0% from the field…
