A highly coveted Indiana University basketball target in the class of 2019 has released his top six schools. Keion Brooks, Jr. released the list via Twitter on Tuesday afternoon: https://twitter.com/KeionB_12/status/1044658351320309761 There are no real surprises on this list. These are the schools that have been viewed as the primary contenders for a while now. In our estimation, these six could be further divided into a top four of Indiana, North Carolina, Michigan State and Kentucky, and a next tier of UCLA and Purdue. Brooks, Jr. also recently took a visit to Iowa but the Hawkeyes were not included on the…

You’ve probably seen that Indiana is a double digit favorite on the road in the Big Ten on Saturday. Our latest check of the line shows the Hoosiers as 17 point favorites. Clearly Vegas has moved on from IU’s first loss of the season. Or maybe the oddsmakers believe Rutgers is just that bad. Hopefully the Hoosiers don’t travel out to New Jersey with that attitude. Their history against the Scarlet Knights certainly doesn’t warrant taking them lightly. Sure they handled Rutgers 41-0 in a rain soaked affair in Bloomington last November. We’re here to tell you that was an…
Indiana University head football coach Tom Allen and offensive coordinator Mike DeBord met with the media on Monday afternoon to address the home loss on Saturday night against Michigan State and look forward to this week’s road contest at Rutgers. The key injury updates are as follows: DL Jacob Robinson was hurt in practice last week. He is week to week/game time decision. WR Luke Timian is week to week/game time decision. WR Whop Philyor has a sprained ankle and should be able to play. Husky Cam Jones was injured on an interception and is week to week/game time decision.…
It is still just September, but things are about to heat up for a highly anticipated 2018-19 Indiana basketball season. After an especially long offseason that began in late February due to the early start to the Big Ten tournament and Indiana missing postseason play, our first glimpse of the latest edition of IU basketball starts this week. From Romeo Langford committing in April to Juwan Morgan announcing his return in May, excitement has been building for this season for months — and it is almost here. Today we take a look at the key dates and scheduled events over…
The late former NFL head coach Dennis Green once famously said, repeatedly, “they are who we thought they were” after a tough loss. While they had a choppy start to the season, Michigan State has the most returning starters in the country coming off a 10-3 season, have a great head coach in Mark Dantonio, and had two weeks to prepare for Indiana. The Spartans are who we thought they were — a tough, physical and talented football team that frankly was the better squad on Saturday night. But after another disappointing loss against a Big Ten East power, the…
Indiana University head football coach Tom Allen and quarterback Peyton Ramsey discussed Saturday night’s 35-21 loss against Michigan State and took questions from the media. The Hoosiers dropped to 3-1 on the season and will look to rebound next Saturday at Rutgers. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hAKqSRxnPAk https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QzbTzeLRI10 You can follow us on Twitter: @daily_hoosier Find us on Facebook: thedailyhoosier Please consider supporting The Daily Hoosier by shopping on Amazon via this link to the Amazon home page or through the ad below.
Indiana had grown accustomed to falling behind early. The Hoosiers trailed in the first quarter of each of their first three games — and they won all of them. On Saturday night, the deficit grew larger than it had in those early games, and the opponent was better than any of the previous three. The realities of the Big Ten East have arrived. The Indiana offense struggled throughout the game against Michigan State, and their early shortcomings put the Hoosiers in quick hole. After the IU offense produced a very quick three and out running up tempo offense on their…
There is no way around it — this could be a big moment in the history of the Indiana University football program. Or it could just be a continuation of the same story that has been playing out in Bloomington for decades. As we saw after an IU win over Michigan State in 2016, one game does not necessarily change the course of history. But since day one, breaking through has been the motto under Tom Allen. If it is ever truly going to happen at Indiana, it is going to start with a game just like Saturday night against…
Most high level college basketball recruitments seem to have a certain level of mystery and intrigue, but class of 2019 guard Jahmius Ramsey’s has to be near the top in that regard. Over the summer he had adamantly indicated that he was waiting for the spring to commit, without providing much in the way of his thought process behind that. Fair enough. Several weeks ago Ramsey released a “remaining 10 list” that seemed to suggest that he was narrowing his potential landing spots and perhaps accelerating the process. Not much later, word came of five official visits, including a Hoosier…
Yes, we are already talking about official visits and the class of 2020. With the recent NCAA rule changes, class of 2020 prospects are now allowed to take official visits during their junior years and again during their senior years. First up at Indiana from the class of 2020 — none other than the first player the Hoosiers offered in the class — Ethan Morton. Below is a story we wrote on Morton back in April when Indiana offered him. The key updates on the Pennsylvania native since we wrote that article are: This past AAU season, he played a year…
