Perhaps the most important recruiting weekend on the Indiana basketball calendar will find perhaps the most important recruit on IU’s list of targets on campus. Hoosier head coach Archie Miller made his emphasis on in-state recruiting clear from day one, and so far he has in large part delivered, landing the state’s last two Mr. Basketball award winners and a total of eight Indiana based players in his first three classes thus far. Despite his early success in the Hoosier State, Miller may ultimately be judged by how well he recruits in-state in the class of 2021. 11 of the…

By now you have likely at least heard about California Senate Bill 206.  Commonly known as the Fair Pay to Play Act, California Governor Gavin Newsom signed the bill earlier this week.

The law takes effect on Jan. 1, 2023, with several twists and turns in the road likely along the way as it relates to the response by the NCAA and…

OG Anunoby was always known as a man of few words during his two year stint at Indiana. Whether he disliked talking to the press, was uncomfortable, or just amusing himself, Anunoby rarely gave lengthy answers.

Below are two of the interviews, featuring more than six minutes of Q&A. Anunoby is averaging 6.4 points and 2.7 rebounds per game during his first two years in the league, playing an average of 20.1 minutes per contest. Earlier this year…

It helps to hear it from an outside, independent voice. Indiana’s players elected two guards as their captains for the 2019-20 season.  Senior Devonte Green and junior Al Durham each have two years of experience in head coach Archie Miller’s system. But the straw that stirs the drink that is this year’s Hoosier squad is likely going to be in the front court.  BTN’s Dave Revsine clearly saw that when preparing to speak with Miller prior to Wednesday’s Big Ten Media Day in Chicago: “One of things that stands out to me as I was thinking about what I wanted…

The number of years that you have been watching IU football likely has an impact on how you interpret Indiana’s close but not quite loss at Michigan State on Saturday. Hoosier fans young and old can look at an exciting young quarterback like Michael Penix and find some measure of optimism. But the more seasoned you are as a Hoosier fan, the more likely your skepticism outweighs your optimism by a healthy margin. Few have seen more Indiana football games than radio announcer Don Fischer, who started calling the team’s contests back in the 1970’s. Fischer is often in the…
