When head coach Archie Miller looks out to 2021, he sees a potential void in the “Big Ten” size that he finally has now. The latest recruiting target on the radar to potentially step in is Canadian big man Javonte-Brown Ferguson. The 6-foot-11 Brown-Ferguson announced an offer from Indiana on Thursday via Twitter: https://twitter.com/lanxxjay/status/1156945006151786496?s=20 Brown-Ferguson has a Kansas offer, and he has talked to that school and others about a potential reclassification into the class of 2020 according to this 247Sports report ($).

Indiana is not the only Midwest state with a robust class of 2021. Ohio can also boast six of the top 150 players nationally in the incoming group of high school juniors according to the latest 247Sports rankings. One of those Ohio products is Cincinnati based big man Logan Duncomb. Indiana’s interest in Duncomb first came to our attention via a report by Stockrisers a couple weeks ago. The…
Nick Westbrook was the wrong guy to ask the obvious question. A business major, named three-time Academic All-Big Ten, on the Wuerffel Trophy Watch List, and also a nominee for the Allstate Good Works Team — the 22 year old fifth year wide receiver has the kind of resume that can make a guy feel inadequate. With a new offensive coordinator on board, and not two but three potential quarterbacks to build chemistry with in that system, one would reasonably expect that Indiana’s deep and talented wide receiver group has had a less than optimal offseason. I quizzed Westbrook on…
Indiana’s first commit in the 2020 class is a versatile competitor that plays hard on both ends of the floor. Below is nearly 4:30 of high quality video of Culver, Ind.’s Trey Galloway from AAU action this summer. Playing with the Indiana Elite on the Adidas circuit, Galloway had a strong spring and summer that led to an increased level of interest and a late April offer from IU.

Class of 2020 forward Jalen Bridges’ recruitment took off to another level this summer, including a late June offer from Indiana. In the rankings, Bridges jumped more than 100 spots according to 247Sports, moving from a three-star prospect to No. 82 in the country. Now it’s time to dial it all back — just a bit. The 6-foot-7 West Virginia product announced his top ten schools on Monday afternoon. https://twitter.com/jalenbridgess/status/1155916542929977346?s=20 Bridges is technically part of the class of 2019, but he is going to attend Scotland Campus prep school in Pennsylvania for the 2019-20 season, and he is being recruiting…

Injuries played a major role in derailing former Indiana wide receiver Cody Latimer’s 2018 season, his first with the New York Giants. After a promising start through six weeks, Latimer was placed on injured reserve with a hamstring injury and didn’t return until December 19. Drafted by the Denver Broncos in the second round in 2014, Latimer has yet to carve out a role in the NFL as an every down receiver. The could be about to change after a dramatic turn of events at the Giants’ training camp at East Rutherford, N.J. After a rash of injuries to Giants’…
