Indiana saw three players get selected in the last two NBA Drafts, but that streak appears set to end this summer. No one from Mike Woodson’s final IU squad was included in ESPN’s updated top-100 NBA Draft prospects published this week. At various stages in their high school and college careers, each of Mackenzie Mgbako, Kanaan Carlyle and Oumar Ballo were thought to at least have the potential to be drafted. Ballo is out of eligibility and he has formally entered his name in the draft.  But the outlook is not promising for the 7-foot product of Mali.  He is…

Elon transfer wing Nick Dorn has emerged as a name to know on the IU basketball recruiting front. An Indiana visit on Wednesday was reported by the 247Sports Indiana site. Dorn has also visited North Carolina, Maryland and possibly others since entering the portal following his sophomore season.  His father and brother both played football for the Tar Heels. The 6-foot-7, 200-pound Charlotte, N.C. product averaged 15.2 points and 3.8 rebounds for the Phoenix in 2024-25.  He shot 37.4% from the field overall and made a team-high 74 three-pointers (on 35.1% shooting).  Dorn shot 80.5% at the free throw line.…

After an 11-2 season that saw Indiana reach the College Football Playoff, the football program is seeing unprecedented support in Bloomington. But relative to the upper financial echelon of the sport, the Hoosiers are still somewhat vulnerable at a time when there are virtually no rules. When it comes to the transfer portal, the highest bidder wins more often than not, and IU coach Curt Cignetti told CBS Sports he believes there are programs with $40 million roster budgets at the moment. “I think our little pot of gold is pretty nice, but we’re not at $40 million.  Or $30…

Indiana’s quest to add size to the roster has them in contact with Florida Atlantic’s Baba Miller according to Sam Kayser of League Ready. The 6-foot-11 and 215-pound forward is from Mallorca, Spain. As a junior for FAU in 2024-25, Miller started all 34 games and averaged 11.3 points, 7.0 rebounds, 2.7 assists and 1.7 blocks per game in 30 minutes per contest.  His 6% block rate was No. 120 in the nation. He shot 48.6% overall including 34.2% from three on 114 attempts and 59% on twos.  He made 64.3% of his attempts at the free throw line. Miller…

Indiana has landed a commitment from Maryland transfer defender Kellan Wyatt, the Terrapins’ leader in tackles for loss in 2024. The 6-foot-2 and 262-pound Wyatt played linebacker at Maryland but is expected to play the edge of the defensive line for IU. Wyatt perfectly fits the mold of coach Curt Cignetti’s proven production over potential approach when it comes to recruiting transfer portal prospects.  Wyatt has played in 35 games (27 starts) on a Big Ten roster and has 80 tackles, 15 tackles for loss, and 8.5 sacks. After playing his first three years for the Terps, the Glen Burnie,…

As Darian DeVries’ first Indiana basketball roster comes together, the strengths and weaknesses of his developing team are emerging. As of Tuesday afternoon, DeVries and IU had eight players, with a possible ninth depending on how the NCAA handles Luke Goode’s hardship waiver request for a fifth season. The new staff has done a solid job adding facilitators and shooters to the team.  They’ve got a good foundation of players at the two guard spots, along with a wealth of guys who could man the three or four positions. Here’s a look at the positional versatility of the nine players…

Drexel transfer guard Jason Drake has committed to Indiana following a visit to Bloomington this week. A combo guard who can facilitate and knock down threes, he gives the Hoosiers a third primary ball handler option on the roster along with additional scoring punch from beyond the arc. Drake was also expected to visit St. John’s this week but never made it there. The 6-foot-2 and 195-pound product of Oak Park, Mich. played in 33 games for Drexel in 2024-25. He averaged 26.1 minutes, 11.1 points, 3.1 assists and 3.0 rebounds per game. He shot 42.8% overall, including 39.6% from…

Craig Yoho’s dominance in the minors made it inevitable he’d eventually get a shot in Major League Baseball. That opportunity arrived this week for the former IU pitcher. The 25-year-old reliever from Fisher H.S. (Fishers, Ind.) was called up by the Milwaukee Brewers Monday and made his first big league appearance Monday evening at Oracle Park in San Francisco. With the Brewers trailing the Giants 4-2 in the eighth, Yoho got the call to pitch the bottom half of the inning. He threw the entire eighth and gave up a hit, an earned run and a walk while striking out…

Indiana has secured a commitment from one of the top running backs and linebackers in the high school class of 2026. Columbus, Ohio product Henry Ohlinger announced his verbal pledge to Curt Cignetti and the Hoosiers. The 6-foot-1 and 210-pound Ohlinger chose IU over offers from Miami (Fla.), Iowa, Boston College, Rutgers, Virginia, Purdue, Cincinnati, and several others.  Indiana made a strong impression during the 2024 season when Ohlinger visited Bloomington with ESPN’s College GameDay on campus.  There have been multiple visits by Ohlinger to IU since, as well as visits by the IU staff to Columbus. The Grandview Heights…
