There are enough former Indiana basketball players still in college basketball to form a starting five — with six more players coming off the bench. Below we take a look at how the 11 former Hoosiers still in the college game are doing in their latest locations. KALEB BANKS – DEPAUL After a breakout season with Tulane in 2024-25, Banks’ production has fallen off at DePaul. For his senior season Banks has played in 25 games with 10 starts.  He’s averaging 6.1 points and 2.8 rebounds per game over 17 minutes a contest.  He averaged 14.7 points per game a…

One of college football’s all-time great coaches says he’s never seen anything like it. From 2012 to 2018 leading Ohio State, Urban Meyer was 7-0 against Indiana, and that was no great accomplishment.  It was expected.  The Buckeyes racked up 30 straight wins over IU from 1988 to 2024. Meyer knows as well as anyone, Indiana is supposed to be the game on the Big Ten schedule that gives you a chance to catch your breath.  It was the homecoming game, and an opportunity for the backups to play in the second half.  It’s just the way it has been…

Indiana football made it official on Wednesday evening with the return of Tino Sunseri as the program’s quarterbacks coach and co-offensive coordinator. Sunseri held that title at Indiana in 2024 before leaving to become the offensive coordinator at UCLA.  The upcoming 2026 season will be Sunseri’s fifth with head coach Curt Cignetti. He replaces Chandler Whitmer, who left after one season to coach the quarterbacks for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Here’s the full release from IU on the return of Sunseri: ———————————————————– Tino Sunseri starts his second stint as the program’s co-offensive coordinator and quarterbacks and has been a part of Indiana…

Indiana flipped its online roster to 2026 this week. The change eliminates the players who have exhausted their eligibility or left the team, and adds all of the new players — both transfers and freshmen. Here are few notes from the update: TYLER CHERRY IS BACK:  4-star quarterback Tyler Cherry, who suffered a knee injury in Dec. 2024 at the very end of his true freshman season, is back on the roster.  He is listed as a redshirt freshman.  A product of Greenwood, Ind., Cherry served in an administrative student assistant role and was not part of the team in…

A total of 319 prospects have been invited to attend this year’s event, including nine players from the 2025 IU football team.

The legends of IU basketball’s undefeated 1976 national championship team don’t move like they once did. Now in their 70s, the greats from college basketball’s last unbeaten squad get around like you’d expect men of their age might. But the spirit of what they accomplished 50 years ago keeps them young. “I tell people, you know, I’m 71 years old,” All-American center Kent Benson said this week in Bloomington.  “I’ve got the heart and mind of a 30 year old, but the body of 120 year old. And, if I had to do all over again, I’d do it the…

Go ahead and relish IU football’s 2025 national championship as long as you wish. If you’re a long suffering fan, you’ve earned it. But the program has officially turned the page to the 2026 season and the incredible opportunity it presents — the chance to repeat as national champions. On Monday evening IU posted a social media video of the 2026 team working out at Mellencamp Pavilion and in the weight room under the direction of new strength and conditioning leader Tyson Brown. New season starts now. pic.twitter.com/4sFpTZvVp3 — Indiana Football (@IndianaFootball) February 11, 2026 In the video you can…

Indiana took care of business at home. The Hoosiers got off to a sluggish start.  They trailed 6-0 to start the game, and 19-14 with 7:42 left in the first.  But that’s when things started clicking.  IU outscored Oregon 22-11 to close the first half, and opened the second session with a 16-6 run to take a 52-36 lead.  The Ducks hung around, but a Lamar Wilkerson outburst eventually buried them. Let’s take a deeper look at how Indiana won 92-74 in Bloomington with our latest edition of The Report Card. The Hoosiers (17-8, 8-6) will travel to Illinois on…

Lamar Wilkerson’s lone season in Bloomington is becoming more special each time he steps on the court. With 41 points on Monday evening against Oregon, he became the fifth player in program history to record multiple 40-point games in his career. He’s the first Big Ten player since at least 1996-97 with multiple 40-point efforts in conference play during the same year. And Wilkerson is the first IU player since at least 1996-97 with four separate 30-plus point efforts in a single Big Ten season. He has produced three of the 10 highest-scoring regular season Big Ten efforts by an…
