There is a certain undeniable allure and prestige attached to playing at an Ohio State or Michigan, just for example.  But with those opportunities comes risk — of getting lost in the shuffle along with all the other top talent. Some are drawn to something altogether…

It turns out that April appearance at an Indiana baseball game might have been a house hunting trip. “It’s nice being here,” Bob Knight said as he arrived at Bart Kaufman Field on the IU campus on April 6th. He meant it. After months of rumors, The Bloomington Herald Times is reporting that the former IU head basketball coach and his wife Karen have acquired a home in Bloomington based on that outlet’s acquisition of recently filed property transfer records in the Monroe County Assessor’s Office. Out of respect for the privacy of the Knight family, we won’t disclose the…

Three. On a pure per capita basis, that’s how many Indiana based kids should be ranked in the top 150 high school players in the boys basketball class of 2021. But this is Indiana.  So how about nine? We’ve told you about the breadth and depth of the Indiana-based talent in 2021, and the latest rankings by 247Sports provide further evidence that this is indeed a uniquely loaded in-state class.
