Class of 2019 and Bettendorf, Iowa based 4-star point guard D.J. Carton announced the final six schools that he is considering via Twitter last night: https://twitter.com/DJCarton/status/994759961522659331 Carton, who is ranked in the top 50 nationally by 247 Sports, had offers from at least 19 programs, but the final six seems generally consistent with expectations. In an interview with Adam Zagoria of Zags Blog, Carton discussed each of his six remaining options and had this to say about Indiana: “I feel like Indiana has made me a big priority. I feel like they really expressed their interest all along when they’ve…
It was a hot college basketball recruiting story in the summer of 2017. Fellow 5-star targets Zion Williamson and Immanual Quickley were known to be good friends, and rumored to be considering going to the same school as a so-called “package deal”. And then Williamson said this: “There’s a lot of truth to that,” he said. “Me and Immanuel are good friends. … I just love the way he plays point guard. That’s the type of point guard I want to play with.” And Quickley said this: “That was what we talked about after the game. “He said he was…
We touched on it on Monday in our weekly Hoosier Baseball Report, and really, there is no way around it — it has been a less than pleasant few weeks for the Indiana baseball program. After surging into the Top 10 in multiple national polls, IU can’t seem to get out of its own way. After completing a 3-game sweep of Northwestern on April 15 by a combined score of 40-4, the Hoosiers appeared to be on top of the world. A few folks might have even purchased tickets for the College World Series at Omaha in June. The combination…
The 2017-18 NBA season has ended for seven of the eight former Indiana Hoosiers that registered statistics in the league this year. Today marks the seventh in a series of more in depth reviews of their respective seasons as we discuss former Hoosier phenom OG Anunoby. That Ogugua “OG” Anunoby Jr. ever made it to Bloomington was something of a fluke. You likely know the story. Tom Crean was out recruiting some other guys when this unknown physical specimen that could defend with the best of them caught his eye. Crean developed somewhat of a reputation for finding “diamonds in the rough” like Anunoby,…
The defensive backfield will be one of the key aspects of the 2018 Indiana football team to watch. It is no secret that with the loss of key pieces like Rashard Fant, Chase Dutra, and Tony Fields, the Hoosiers have question marks on the back end of its defense. There is also no doubt that IU has several key defensive backs returning, including Marcelino Ball, A’Shon Riggins, Andre Brown and others. One returning upperclassman is already on the radar of the next level. Chad Reuter of NFL.com released his top 150 college players to watch in 2018 a few days…
A common question after the announcement by Romeo Langford that he was committing to Indiana was whether that decision would create momentum with IU’s recruiting efforts, especially in-state. You know Hoosier fans, we are never satisfied. One recruiting target that needs little introduction at this point is Keion Brooks, Jr. If Langford was IU priority number one for the class of 2018, Brooks is likely that person for the class of 2019. According to 247 Sports, the five star wing from Fort Wayne North High School is the top-rated player from the state of Indiana in his class. If Archie…
New coaches generally need time to implement their systems, recruit new talent, and foster a culture. No matter the sport, a grace period of at least a couple years is generally thought to be reasonable. Apparently Indiana softball coach Shonda Stanton wasn’t looking to wait that long. After a 4-19 start to the season, Indiana flipped the script, going 21-10 the rest of the way. Perhaps it was her lengthy experience at the helm of another NCAA program that helped her orchestrate a shortcut. Stanton came to Indiana last year from Marshall where she was head coach for 18 seasons. She…
Indiana University head basketball coach Archie Miller released a statement indicating that New Albany, Indiana guard Romeo Langford has signed his national letter of intent to play for the Hoosiers, and that former St. Mary’s forward Evan Fitzner will join the program as a graduate transfer with one year of eligibility remaining. Langford is a 5-star rated, 6-foot-6, 200 pound incoming freshman shooting guard whose recruitment took multiple twists and turns before he finally announced his intent to sign with Indiana last Monday. Fitzner is a 6-foot-10, 230 pound forward with a reputation as a talented perimeter shooter. He has…
Nearly a week has passed since the exciting moment last Monday night when Romeo Langford announced that he will play his college basketball at Indiana. Most of us saw the announcement itself on television or via a live stream. A video was released that provides a behind the scenes look at Romeo’s announcement day, including time at his home, walking into New Albany High School, waiting to go on stage, and signing autographs afterwards. The video is produced by Frank Ward II, the man behind “Frankie Vision”. We’ve embedded Ward’s video’s several times this past year, including here, where we…
