There is no other way to describe — this is a tune up. There are a handful of games on Indiana’s 2019 football schedule that qualify as “must win” if the Hoosiers are going to return to a bowl game for the first time since 2016, and Saturday’s contest tops the list. The Football Championship Subdivision (FCS) Panthers are not without notable names in their program’s history.  Tony Romo, Jimmy Garoppolo and Sean Payton all played quarterback at the Charleston, Ill. school. But none of them will be suiting up on Saturday at IU’s 2019 home opener in Bloomington, and…

On paper, Stevie Scott’s freshman season was about as unlikely as they come.  Originally committed to Rutgers, thought to be a linebacker, and the fifth running back on IU’s depth chart, few saw it coming. In 2018 Scott became the 13th Hoosier (19th time) to reach 1,000 yards in a single season and finished 14th overall in program history with 1,137 yards. He set IU true freshman records in yardage, attempts (228), touchdowns (10) and 100-yard games (6). IU prepared the following documentary on the Syracuse, N.Y. native. https://youtu.be/k3M7CGcNWrU (Video credit – IU Athletics) You can follow us on Twitter:  @daily_hoosier…

With three commitments in the 2020 class all in the 6-foot-4 to 6-foot-6 range, and all playing the shooting guard/wing positions, the clear emphasis for the remainder of the group has to be either a point guard and/or big men. Andre Curbelo is someone that Indiana has been watching and in contact with for a couple months. According to Andrew Slater on Twitter, the IU coaching staff has extended an offer to the Puerto Rico product. https://twitter.com/Andrew__Slater/status/1169640307559940096?s=20 Rated as the No. 7 point guard nationally in the 2020 class according to the 247Sports Composite, Curbelo plays high school basketball at…

When the 2019-20 Indiana basketball schedule was released in late August it did not include any exhibition games. We have since learned that the Hoosiers will play a closed-door scrimmage against Marquette on October 20, and today the program announced that it will play one home exhibition game against Gannon University. IU shared the news about the contest against the Erie, Pennsylvania school on Twitter. https://twitter.com/IndianaMBB/status/1169309697922555905?s=20 Gannon competes at the NCAA Division II level.  It named Kelvin Jefferson as its new head men’s basketball coach in April. Below is the full release from the school: Hoosiers To Host Gannon in…

The Daily Hoosier spoke with St. Paul’s School head basketball coach Max Gordon on his incoming senior forward Jordan Geronimo. Geronimo verbally committed to Indiana on Monday after an official visit over the weekend. Gordon is in his second year leading the program.  St. Paul’s is a high academic boarding school based in Concord, New Hampshire. Q:  Talk about Jordan’s improvement over the last year and the work that went into it. GORDON:  He has worked incredibly hard and gotten a lot better.  At the end of his sophomore year I knew he was going to be a Division One…

It wasn’t by chance that Jordan Geronimo’s first college official visit was to Indiana. He knew it might be the only one. “Indiana was my first official visit for a reason,” Geronimo told the Daily Hoosier.  “I knew of Indiana’s reputation and that they played in a great league in the Big Ten, and also that Indiana was a basketball state and a basketball heavy school.” “So I had a feeling that there was a chance that I could commit after the visit.” Geronimo was hosted on his IU visit by freshman guard Armaan Franklin, and “spent a whole bunch of…
