Injuries played a major role in derailing former Indiana wide receiver Cody Latimer’s 2018 season, his first with the New York Giants. After a promising start through six weeks, Latimer was placed on injured reserve with a hamstring injury and didn’t return until December 19. Drafted by the Denver Broncos in the second round in 2014, Latimer has yet to carve out a role in the NFL as an every down receiver. The could be about to change after a dramatic turn of events at the Giants’ training camp at East Rutherford, N.J. After a rash of injuries to Giants’…

With a lot of painful misses along they way, it had been about eight months since a high school basketball player committed to play for Indiana University. That ended today. IU head coach Archie Miller went back to his most reliable source of talent for recruits — the state of Indiana. 6-foot-4 guard and Culver, Ind. product Trey Galloway announced today that he has verbally committed to Indiana according to his Instagram account. After a late May IU official visit that Galloway’s father Mark told us went very well, Trey indicated to The Daily Hoosier a few weeks ago that…
November 2. Circle the date. *Checks Indiana football schedule* Wait, what? Northwestern? No, there isn’t any bad blood to report here. Actually, it is quite the opposite — some mutual respect. And more than that — a measuring stick. You see, the November 2 meeting in Bloomington between IU and the Wildcats will mark the third of what should be four winnable games for Indiana over a four week span. Even with three games still to go, we’ll know everything we need to know about these 2019 Hoosiers when the dust settles at Memorial Stadium on November 2. For those…
(From July 2018) Indiana head basketball coach Archie Miller’s “inside-out” recruiting strategy is well known at this point. More than just talking points at his introductory press conference, Miller has put the plan into action, securing three of the top players in Indiana with the class of 2018. It doesn’t get any more “inside” than within the borders of Bloomington, Indiana. With a non-student population of less than 50,000, you wouldn’t expect too many IU basketball players to come from the school’s hometown. But this is Indiana, and there has been a decent history of Bloomington natives sporting the Cream…
