Indiana football fans know by now that sustained success can be a challenge. So it should come as no surprise that only one day after the Hoosiers had a solid day on the recruiting front they were dealt some bad news. Today it comes in the form of losing two of their more prominent wide receivers. SIMMIE COBBS TO THE NFL Simmie Cobbs has decided to pass on his final year of eligibility at IU and has declared for the NFL draft. Cobbs went public with the decision via Twitter on Thursday: During 2015 Cobbs caught 60 passes for 1,035…

We could write an article about Tennessee Tech and Youngstown State. We could but you wouldn’t read it. No offense to Indiana’s last two opponents before they resume B1G conference play, but they are just the next mid-majors on the schedule. Don’t get us wrong. Indiana should not be taking the next two games lightly. After Fort Wayne and Indiana State, are you kidding? And don’t think for a second that Tennessee Tech and Youngstown State haven’t heard about Fort Wayne and Indiana State. And don’t think that they aren’t coming to Bloomington seeking their own 15 minutes of fame. …
By any reasonable measure Wednesday was a successful day for the Indiana University football team in connection with the recruiting early signing period. Collectively, as of this writing the Hoosiers have received signed national letters of intent from 23 players, including all 21 who had previously committed to IU and 2 new additions that were not previously committed. The headliners for Indiana’s class are QB Michael Penix (pictured) from Tampa and RB Ronnie Walker from Virginia. Both have received 4-star ratings from some services and are 3-stars based on the 247 composite. On a national basis the Hoosiers are currently…
December 20th through the 22nd is the early signing period for college football. We’ll monitor and update the developments as they transpire here. Below is the current list of the 21 players that have committed to Indiana prior to the early signing period along with the top remaining uncommitted targets. 8:43 — Great start for the Hoosiers. 16 of 21 verbal commitments have signed and no major surprises to this point. 8:45 — Make that 18 of 21 as Aidan Rafferty and Matt Bjorson sign. 9:01 — Shamar Jones signs. 19 of 21 commits signed. 9:45 — Miami DE James…
Well, here is a list we didn’t expect to be updating again so soon. Make that two entrants from the 2017-2018 season. First a few notes: The Indiana State loss had been the only loss on the list to a non-Power 5 school. Now the Fort Wayne loss makes it 2 of the top 4 to non-Power 5 schools. There really isn’t another loss to a non-Power 5 school that is close to making this list. Numbers 1 and 2 on the list were during the Tom Crean rebuild era. 6 of the 12 games on the list are from…
Post game video after a 72-92 Indiana loss to Fort Wayne: Posted by IU Basketball on Monday, December 18, 2017
The Scott Curse lives on. Of course it did. Bryson Scott is now 5-0 against Indiana. Throw in his brother Brenton’s Indiana State win back in November and the brothers are collectively 6-0 against the Hoosiers. And about that Indiana State game. While tonight’s match up was closer for a while than the November blowout, it followed the same script and ended up at about the same margin. The Indiana State loss was the 3rd worst ever at Assembly Hall. This Fort Wayne loss is the 4th. Both IU losses are simply inexplicable. Neither Indiana State nor Fort Wayne are…
Game notes: The Indiana Hoosiers (6-5) host the Fort Wayne Mastodons (7-5) at 8 PM on Monday night at Simon Skjodt Assembly Hall. The game will be broadcast on BTN. Fort Wayne is 1-5 on the road this year. Indiana is 5-2 at home. The programs will meet for the third straight season. IU won in Bloomington, 90-65 in 2015 and the Mastodons defeated Indiana 71-68 in OT in Fort Wayne last season. Indiana was ranked #3 coming into last year’s meeting. These Scott brothers. They are everywhere. Purdue, Fort Wayne, Indiana State. It seems like they’ve been playing since…
The math just got a lot harder for Indiana recruiting target Romeo Langford’s pursuit of Indiana high school boys all-time scoring leader and former IU star Damon Bailey. Langford averaged 24 a game in New Albany’s two games over the weekend, pushing the bar higher on what it will take to catch Bailey. Nevertheless, Langford is still on a historic journey through the Indiana boys high school basketball all-time scoring list. We’ll continue to monitor his progress along the way. Bailey is the current all-time scoring leader at 3,134 points. Langford appears likely to pass a couple other IU greats…
Notre Dame Postgame: Coach Miller “A lot of guys stepped up and made some tremendous plays on both ends of the floor. It was a team win against a really good team.” Posted by IU Basketball on Sunday, December 17, 2017
