Indiana fifth-year guard Trey Galloway continues to progress towards being ready to play ahead of the start of the 2024-25 season. “I think he might be ready to go, first day of practice,” Woodson told Jon Rothstein on the College Hoops Today Podcast released on Monday. “We kind of slow-walked him and didn’t rush things, because we don’t have to.  There’s enough talent around him that we don’t have to rush him back.  He’s done his work this summer to continuing to grow to get back out on the floor, but it takes time from these knee surgeries.  He’s heading…

After an injury-plagued rookie season, the pressure is on Jalen Hood-Schifino to live up to his spot in the 2023 NBA Draft. Step one was getting back on the court for Hood-Schifino, who was shut down by the Los Angeles Lakers in March after a procedure on his back.  He missed the remainder of the regular season and the NBA Summer League. But Hood-Schifino has been back on the floor for team workouts with the Lakers, and according to a report by Dan Woike of the LA Times, he is showing promise this summer. “Both Hood-Schifino and (Maxwell) Lewis, though, have…

Last week we shared with you a prediction by well known national college football analyst Brett McMurphy that IU would be playing postseason football in 2024. And now we can share several more human predictions that suggest the outlook for Indiana is at the very least better than what the algorithmic forecasts we’ve shared have been suggesting. Now to be sure, no one is picking IU to make the first 12-team College Football Playoff in December. But the members of an eight panel crew at CBS Sports are all higher on Indiana than the last place predictions we’ve seen from…

According to multiple reports on X and reposted by Chronister, that visit will take place on Sept. 7. Chronister was at Indiana on multiple occasions last year, including a full day for Hoosier Hysteria in October. “Hoosier Hysteria was amazing,” Chronister told The Daily Hoosier when we caught up with him in July in connection with a Pro16/NXT Puma Circuit stop in Lebanon, Ind. “I was there for the whole day, got to see a little bit of campus, got to meet all…

A movement is afoot to rename the portion of 17th Street that passes just south of Simon Skjodt Assembly Hall and Memorial Stadium in Bloomington. Former IU football player, coach and administrator Harold Mauro has started a petition at Change.org to rename that section of the street “Bob Knight Way.” Here is what Mauro says in the petition: We ask that Indiana University with the cooperation of the City of Bloomington rename 17th street from Fee Lane to Dunn Street “Bob Knight Way”. Bob Knight stood for excellence in his 29 years of coaching the Indiana Hoosiers. His teams won…

Two former Hoosiers were waived by the Cincinnati Bengals on Friday. Undrafted free agents Aaron Casey and Andre Carter were both let go, the NFL franchise reported. Casey was widely thought to have a chance to make the Bengals but will now look to land on a practice squad. Carter originally signed after the April draft with Jacksonville.  He was waived by that club and then later joined the Bengals for a brief stint. Earlier in the week, the New York Giants waived former IU defensive end Ryder Anderson.  He cleared waivers and was placed on injured reserve (hamstring). Speaking…

On Thursday Cincinnati named Indiana transfer Brendan Sorsby as the Bearcats’ starting quarterback for their Aug. 31 season opener. “He has worked hard to learn the offense, and he’s made a lot of plays,” Cincinnati coach Scott Satterfield said of Sorsby. “I think he has earned the respect of his teammates, which is huge. There are so many little things that go into being the starter, and I think Brendan has handled himself well. “He has a quiet confidence about himself but he shows humility too, which I like in a quarterback.” Sorsby played two seasons with IU, starting seven…

When Indiana coach Mike Woodson took the microphone for Senior Day festivities in March and addressed the crowd, he gave thanks to those who had contributed to the program’s name, image and likeness (NIL) endeavors, including even one individual by name. “I’d like to thank (Cook Group President) Pete Yonkman of Hoosiers for Good, and all the NIL participants who’ve given money to keep our program where it should be,” Woodson said. And in the weeks that followed, the Hoosiers signed one of the top transfer portal classes in the nation, including Arizona center Oumar Ballo, Washington State guard Myles…
