ESPN has issued the final update of its top 100 women’s college basketball recruits for the class of 2026. Three of IU women’s basketball’s four incoming freshmen moved on the list. Wing Addy Nyemchek jumped up a few spots, from No. 28 to No. 25. Combo guard GiGi Battle rose from No. 32 to No. 29. And point guard Ashlinn James fell from No. 64 to No. 66.

BLOOMINGTON — After Tyler Morris transferred to Indiana football from Michigan following the 2024 season, he appeared in line to start at slot receiver. But things changed quickly. He suffered a torn ACL during spring 2025, which cost him the entire season. While the Hoosiers made their historic run to the national championship, Morris had to rehab his knee and watch from afar. He could’ve easily checked out from the rest of the team; but instead, he stayed as involved as he could. That wasn’t lost on his teammates. “Just watching Tyler and the way he handled his rehab and…

Rolijah Hardy has evolved from unheralded prospect to key cog in the middle of a national championship defense. The linebacker was an unranked recruit out of Lakeland (Fla.) High, and spent 2023 at the Naval Academy Preparatory School. He didn’t receive any power-four offers before committing to Navy in Feb. 2023. But Indiana discovered him in May 2024 and extended an offer. Hardy quickly committed, and enrolled a month later. And ever since then, he’s made the most of every opportunity he’s had. “I’ve always been confident in my ability to play football. I’ve always been smart on the field,…

Plenty of college basketball assistant coaches around the country play key roles in recruitment victories. It’s an integral part of the job. But few can match the lengths IU women’s basketball assistant Colsten Thompson underwent to earn class of 2027 forward Finley Parker’s commitment. Thompson has offered Parker a scholarship three separate times, at three separate programs. He began his relationship with Parker when she was in eighth grade and he offered her at Lipscomb. He left the Bisons to join Alabama’s staff in 2022, and he again offered her a spot with the Crimson Tide. After leaving Tuscaloosa for…

IU guard Aleksa Ristic will enter the transfer portal, per multiple reports. The Nis, Serbia native appeared in 12 games off the bench in 2025-26, totaling only 31 minutes. He played in the professional ranks in Serbia prior to joining the Hoosiers, but he never cracked Darian DeVries’ rotation. Ristic will become the fourth Indiana player to head into the portal, along with Josh Harris, Jason Drake, and Jasai Miles. The transfer portal officially opened Tuesday, April 7.

INDIANAPOLIS — After recording one of the greatest individual seasons in Indiana women’s basketball history, Shay Ciezki got one final opportunity to represent the cream and crimson. The Buffalo, N.Y. native competed in the women’s 3-point championship Friday at Hinkle Fieldhouse in Indianapolis, looking to replicate the sort of shooting she displayed all year. She became only the second Division I women’s college basketball player to ever finish 50 percent from the field, 40 percent from 3-point range, and 90 percent on free throws while averaging at least 20 points per game. Ciezki ultimately finished second in the 3-point contest…

Indiana women’s basketball has picked up its first commitment in the class of 2027. And it’s a big one. Forward Finley Parker announced her commitment to the Hoosiers on social media Thursday. The Woodstock, Ga. native is ranked the No. 26 player in the country for the class of 2027 by 247Sports, and ESPN has her at No. 53. Both sites have her as a four-star recruit. Per MaxPreps, Parker averaged 19.6 points, 9.5 rebounds, 1.3 assists, and 1.2 blocks per game this past season as a junior. At 6-foot-3, she’ll give the Hoosiers length and spacing as a 3…
