Indiana basketball has offered several targets in the 2020 recruiting class that appear to be underrated based on their recent spring AAU performances. While some of those players made incremental moves up the rankings, no one made a bigger jump that Beverly, Mass. native Matt Cross who moved up 71 spots in the latest rankings release by 247Sports. Here is an overview of where Indiana’s 2020 targets reside in the new rankings. No. 16 — Isaiah Jackson Jackson held steady as a top 20 five star. The Hoosiers are a long shot with the Michigan product. No. 23 — Dawson…
With three players selected on the first two days, things were just getting warmed up for the Hoosiers. By the time the dust settled on Wednesday evening, a grand total of 10 Indiana baseball players had been selected in the 2019 Major League Baseball Draft, setting a program record for a single year. IU has now had 104 players selected in the program’s history. Of course it remains to be seen which of the players will sign with their respective teams vs. return to school. The seniors will obviously sign, and the players chosen on the first two days –…
The Indianapolis based NCAA is not doing the IU basketball program any favors. After shooting 31.2% (311th nationally) in 2018-19 from long range, and 32.2% (307th nationally) in 2017-18, the Hoosiers will now have to hoist three-pointers from more than a foot further away from the basket. The NCAA Playing Rules Oversight Panel approved moving the 3-point line from 20 feet, 9 inches to 22 feet, 1¾ inches. The new distance is consistent with international rules and will be effective for the upcoming season. The longer distance was tested during the postseason NIT. Indiana played in three games during that…
Sometimes a guy just knows where he wants to go. That’s how it was with class of 2020 IU football in-state recruiting target Caleb Murphy.

Two seasons under head basketball coach Archie Miller. Two major boxes left unchecked. Big Ten size? Nope. With 6-foot-8 Juwan Morgan and 6-foot-6 Freddie McSwain primarily manning the five spot over the last two years, that point is beyond debate. Big Ten grit? We go back to this comment from legendary IU voice Don Fischer in January on The Dan Dakich Show: “My biggest concern with this team right now is they don’t have an edge. There’s gotta be a fire in your gut. There’s gotta be an ability to go out there and be excited to play the game. …

IU fans based in the Hoosier state might eventually be able to keep close tabs on Gorski. The Pirates AAA affiliate is the Indianapolis Indians. IU…
