For the second time in as many weeks, IU football is getting a visit from a former class of 2026 Penn State commit. 3-star wide receiver Lavar Keys (DeMatha H.S., Hyattsville, Md.) will take a visit to Indiana this weekend, he confirmed national reports to The Daily Hoosier. Keys will actually get two looks at the Hoosiers, both when they play UCLA this Saturday, and when he visits Maryland the following weekend.

Class of 2026 wing Anthony Thompson decided to stay home.  He’ll play for the Ohio State Buckeyes, he announced on Tuesday morning. This concludes a roughly two-year recruitment for IU that spanned the last two Indiana coaching staffs. Darian DeVries and his assistants pulled IU off the mat and had the Hoosiers as one of just a handful of serious contenders in the end for Thompson. But the Lebanon, Ohio product chose to play in his home state.  He’s the first 5-star to commit to Ohio State since 2014. At the moment, IU still has just one commit in their…

Indiana suffered a big loss late in Saturday’s 38-13 win over Michigan State. Defensive end/outside linebacker Kellan Wyatt is out long-term with a knee injury. “Right now looks like a long term injury, not sure if we’ll see him the rest of the season or not,” IU coach Curt Cignetti said at his regular Monday press conference. Wyatt was injured in the fourth quarter when rushing the quarterback.  He appeared to collapse and laid on the ground until the training staff arrived and ultimately helped him up.  Wyatt did walk off under his own power, albeit with a significant limp.…

Pat Knight’s first game back in Bloomington as a head coach came a year ago when he faced Mike Woodson’s last team in a preseason exhibition. The former IU player’s second game coaching at Simon Skjodt Assembly Hall was Friday — against an entirely new Indiana roster and staff. When comparing the last two editions of IU basketball, what stood out to the head coach of the Marian Knights and son of Bob Knight, the late legendary former coach of the Hoosiers? “Shooting. Shooting.  The shooting is hard to cover,” Pat Knight told TDH.  “He’s done a great job getting…

Indiana stays in Bloomington for a second straight weekend as the Hoosiers prepare to face a surging UCLA program. The No. 2 Hoosiers (7-0, 4-0) will host the Bruins (3-4, 3-1) on Saturday afternoon at Noon ET at Memorial Stadium in Bloomington (FOX).

It has been a whirlwind start to the season for the Bruins.  After an 0-3 start they…

For the second straight week, IU football has achieved an all-time best national ranking. Following a loss by Miami and a 38-13 Indiana win over Michigan State in week 8, the Hoosiers have moved up to No. 2 in the new coaches poll released Sunday afternoon.

Ohio State is the consensus No. 1 team in the latest coaches poll.  If both the Buckeyes and Hoosiers win their remaining games they’d play a No. 1 vs. No. 2…

IU football continues to trend towards a first-round bye in the 2025 College Football Playoff following a 38-13 win over Michigan State. All major outlets projecting the CFP field following week eight action have the Hoosiers receiving one of the four byes. At least one person — David Hale at ESPN — has IU as the No. 1 overall team.  Some outlets are dropping IU to the No. 3 seed with the expectation they’ll play in the Big Ten title game and lose, opening the door for them to be passed by another conference champion. A new CFP policy implemented…
