With Halloween upon us and the 2018-19 edition of Indiana basketball now just days away, we decided to venture over to the lighter side. For each IU player expected to contribute this season we name one Halloween treat (i.e. – our take on what could be the best case scenario for that player), and then one perhaps no so realistic (but fun) headline or story from the season — or a “trick” if you prefer. Damezi Anderson — Emerges as a three point specialist on this team that still needs perimeter shooters.  Shoots near 50% from distance on the season. …

Chalk up another offer to the “inside out” initiative.  There is certainly no shortage of high end talent in the Hoosier state in the class of 2021, and Fort Wayne based big man Caleb Furst is at or near the top of that list. Furst was in Bloomington on Saturday for an unofficial visit and reported the IU offer on Twitter: https://twitter.com/calebfurst/status/1056251674329792512 Furst is considered a top 50 recruit nationally in the class of 2021 and has been on IU’s radar for a long time.  He has visited Bloomington previously and was also an attendee at Hoosier Hysteria back in…
