In many ways it is to be expected. As a program has evolved over the last decade measurably into the Big Ten’s best, and clear national relevance, of course that means there is talent on the field. Never was the talent more evident than during then 2019 Major League Baseball Draft, when an Indiana school record 10 players were selected. A so-called “northern school” when it comes to collegiate baseball, IU was right there with the big boys when it came to players being drafted this year. https://twitter.com/aaronfitt/status/1136421540000673793?s=20 Of course getting drafted is one thing.

“He didn’t come here to redshirt,” at the time IU defensive coordinator Tom Allen said three years ago to a group of reporters at the team’s 2016 fall camp. “He came here from day one to play.” Those words are not often spoken about your typical two-star recruit. Maybe it was that rating by Rivals that fueled the fire in Marcelino Ball? Whatever the case, now head coach Allen knew after one season that he had something special in the Roswell, Georgia product. “When he showed up in June, I knew the kid was very, very focused,” Allen said after…

The new complex was announced in 2018 and made possible by a $2 million gift by former IU football captain Terry Tallen.

As Indiana fans saw in 2018, special teams can win or lose football games. A field goal as time expired gave Indiana a win over Maryland, and a late kickoff return may have cost the Hoosiers at home against Penn State. Special teams coordinator William Inge met with the media yesterday to discuss that unit. https://youtu.be/M06uqnWt2IM (Video credit – Jim Coyle, Indiana Sports Beat) Tom Allen remarked on Monday that punter Haydon Whitehead is “punting the ball really well right now” and also serving as a strong leader in the locker room. You can hear from the fifth year…
With less than three weeks until the 2019 season opens, the installation of the new IU football offense is ahead of where head coach Tom Allen and offensive coordinator Kalen DeBoer thought it would be at this point. Allen spoke about that at the conclusion of practice number 11 at Indiana’s fall camp on Monday. “I would say in some ways, in terms of the knowledge of a new offensive system and the way they execute it — maybe a little bit ahead of what I thought we might be,” Allen said. “Coach DeBoer and I have talked and we…

IU head basketball coach Archie Miller is doing what he said he would do. But he is also seemingly doing it in his own unique way. By now you know that Indiana has picked up its second commitment in the class of 2020 after the announcement by Bloomington based shooting guard Anthony Leal on Friday afternoon. Following in the footsteps of his good friend Trey Galloway, the 6-foot-5 Leal makes it two-for-two with in-state players committing to play for Miller in the 2020 class. Going back a year, Miller successfully landed three other local products in Armaan Franklin, Trayce Jackson-Davis…
