There’s another big recruiting weekend on tap in Bloomington for the IU football program. At least eight class of 2027 4-star prospects will be on campus as the program looks to build out its freshman class for the 2027 season. The visitors include a pair of in-state offensive tackles, and four 4-star offensive linemen in total. All of the 4-stars are within the national top-300 among all players in the 2027 class, and within the top-25 at their position.  Prior to the 2025 class, IU had only landed a handful of players checking all of those boxes ever during the…

Indiana continues to trend favorably for the No. 1 ranked wide receiver in the 2027 class. Two Rivals national analysts logged predictions on Thursday for IU to land in-state 5-star wideout Monshun Sales. The 6-foot-5 Sales is a consensus 5-star, consensus top-4 receiver, and consensus top-16 overall player in the 2027 class.  If he picks Indiana, he will be the highest-rated IU recruit in the rankings era by a wide margin. This development comes not long after a national analyst at another outlet said he liked Indiana’s chances with Sales.  247Sports’ Tom Noy says IU and Texas are the current…

In the summer of 2022, then rising high school senior guard Markus Burton put on a dazzling display at the Charlie Hughes tournament at Carmel H.S. in Carmel, Ind. In front of several college coaches there mostly to watch others, Burton carved-up Indianapolis powerhouse Cathedral with a 35-point outburst. It was clear at that moment — with his ability to navigate traffic and score efficiently over length — Burton had an elite skillset that would translate to the top of college basketball. But at most 6-foot tall, there was still some skepticism among the high major head coaches and assistants…

Indiana’s 38-3 Rose Bowl win over Alabama felt like a sea change in college football. In the age of the transfer portal and players being compensated, the sport’s former laughing stock completely dominated the 800-pound gorilla. Indiana’s coaches are still enjoying the enormity of that win. Head coach Curt Cignetti quipped “Roll Tide” when President Donald Trump read that 38-3 score at the White House this week.  Defensive coordinator Bryant Haines referred to comments by former Alabama quarterback Ty Simpson about IU’s defense as “adorable.” The trolling of Alabama has extended far and wide, including one former admirer who playfully…
