The postseason hasn’t been kind to Indiana baseball. The Hoosiers rallied after falling behind 7-2 against Illinois State but ultimately came up short on Friday afternoon in Louisville. The Redbirds jumped on IU starter Pauly Milto early and often to build their early lead. The usually reliable senior right-hander gave up 14 hits and 7 earned runs in 5.1 innings. The Hoosiers rallied for five runs in the bottom of the 7th to tie things up, but a quick one run response by Illinois State in the top of the eighth was the difference as the Redbirds claimed an 8-7…
Few Indiana fans knew the name Matt Cross before he was offered a scholarship in late April after a breakout performance at the Nike EYBL in Atlanta. Cross’ 22 points, 6.5 rebounds, 3.5 assists and 1.8 steals per game opening AAU weekend opened a lot of eyes, with at least 10 new offers coming his way in the last month. The Beverly, Massachusetts native put an exclamation point on that Atlanta session with a 29 point, 8 rebound, 6 assist and 3 steal performance in front of the IU coaches — and that Hoosier offer soon followed. While the IU…
With an offer last summer, Indiana has had their eye on an intriguing big man from Gallipolis, Ohio for a while. As a 7-footer, Zach Loveday isn’t hard to find, but it has taken a while for IU to get him on campus. That changed today as the class of 2020 center was in Bloomington for an unofficial visit according to multiple reports. The Huntington Prep incoming senior has an evolving game, as he continues to expand from a traditional back-to-the-basket post player to a more modern stretch-five. You can see Loveday’s ability to get out and run and knock…
It is a revolving door of visitors this week in Bloomington for the IU basketball program, with a host of class of 2020 targets on campus. Anthony Leal and Zach Loveday are in on unofficial visits today, and Matt Cross is taking an official visit this weekend. But things got started with one of IU’s top targets in the class, Trey Galloway. Based out of Culver, Ind., the Hoosiers have been involved with Galloway’s recruitment for a long time, and IU offered the 6-foot-5 guard in late April after a strong showing during the first recruiting live period.

As was widely expected, Indiana senior Devonte Green and juniors Justin Smith and Al Durham will all return to Bloomington to continue their college playing careers according to multiple reports. The trio had entered their names in the NBA Draft in what was generally understood to be part of a process to obtain feedback and return to school. The news comes on the heels of Romeo Langford’s announcement that he will stay in the 2019 NBA Draft and forego his remaining college eligibility. Green played in 28 games and started 9 times. He finished third on the team in scoring…
He’s too short. He doesn’t play against good competition. When it comes to most conversations about Hartford City, Ind.’s Luke Brown, there are questions. Most folks in and around Hartford City have no doubt, but beyond, the questions persist. But there is also a reason why Luke Brown is becoming a household name in Indiana. Brown averaged 35.0 points, 6.7 assists, 4.8 rebounds and 2.7 steals per game for his sophomore season at Blackford High School. The 6-foot-1 guard shot better than 50 percent from the field overall and 38 percent from behind the 3-point line on 210 attempts. But…
On the individual level, rating high school football players is an inexact science, with countless players buried deep in the rankings going on to great college and pro careers. But in the aggregate, team recruiting rankings are pretty reliable, if still not scientific.

This probably doesn’t come as too much of a shock. It doesn’t take a genius to figure out that you have to…
