Every day we scour the internet and social media to bring you the best in IU and Big Ten news. Because you have better things to do with your money, we always try to make sure everything presented here is free. Here’s today’s latest free IU Athletics and Big Ten coverage + recruiting news from around the net:
THE BEST IN FREE AND INDEPENDENTLY OWNED IU COVERAGE
- The Daily Hoosier wonders whether IU and Purdue football can both be good at the same time as the 2019 recruiting commitments start rolling in.
- Hoosier Huddle has details on the latest commit, Alabama defensive lineman CJ Person.
- The Indiana Daily Student takes a look at the battle for playing time at the tight end position.
- Sour grapes? A sports writer at the Champaign, Illinois News Gazette resurrects the irrelevant Romeo Langford shoe money story. Given the state of the Illinois program, we suppose this passes for Illini basketball news right now.

FREE IU AND BIG TEN RECRUITING NEWS
- The Daily Hoosier has details on New Castle, Indiana forward Mason Gillis, who visited IU today. The Fort Wayne News Sentinel has more on Gillis here.
- Armaan Franklin, who Indiana offered a couple weeks ago, visited Purdue today.
- There was a lot of buzz after the U18 Team USA official measurements, as some guys came in much shorter than advertised. Not Zeke Nnaji. At the U17 Team USA trials this weekend, Nnaji measured 6-11.5 in shoes and 228 pounds with a 7-1 wingspan and 8-11 standing reach.
- Rivals updates Keion Brooks, Jr. to 5-star status and the #19 player in the country.
- Five-star big man Isaiah Stewart discusses the U17 Team USA tryouts and updates his recruitment below. He had more to say in this Flo Hoops story. Stewart made the first cut as Team USA gets narrowed down.
