Langford is fourth on the Indiana high school boys basketball all-time scoring list with 3,002 points. He averaged 35.5 points per game as a senior, along with 9.9 rebounds, 3.7 assists and three steals. https://twitter.com/indyhsscores/status/990752158457921537 Yes, @KyleNeddenriep asked him about his shoes. pic.twitter.com/VmhLtsX3Ep — IndyStar HS Scores (@indyhsscores) April 30, 2018 video via — IndyStar HS Scores (@indyhsscores) According to the Indianapolis Star, Langford was named on 264 of the 294 ballots submitted…

Okay, not exactly the same. Perhaps the reaction could justifiably range from the applause when a guy makes a putt for bogey and someone making an eagle to win the Masters. Perhaps an audible gasp or moan prior to that courteous clap might even involuntarily slip out given the surprise and disappointment. Admittedly, it won’t be easy to generate a thunderous roar if Romeo Langford announces “Vanderbilt” or “Kansas” rather than Indiana. But if you can bring yourself to drive to New Albany and boo an 18 year old that wants to share his college decision with his community then…
The 2018 NFL Draft has come to an end with two former Indiana University football players hearing their names called. Tight end Ian Thomas was selected in the 4th round by Carolina and linebacker Chris Covington was selected by Dallas in the 6th round. There is no doubt that the results will be viewed as disappointing for some former Hoosiers, but their prospects for the future remain the same. Whether drafted or signed as undrafted free agents, several IU stars will have an opportunity to make an NFL roster this summer. We summarize the former Hoosiers that have been signed…

One thing seems certain — one school’s 2018-19 season is going to get a heavy boost of optimism. Until then though, the news and analysis continues to unfold. Today, we take one last look going into the weekend of the latest and greatest surrounding the New Albany High School star. Of note today is a local perspective that tells the story of how…
Indiana is starting to cast a wider net for its 2019 class as the spring live evaluation period rolls on. After focusing its early 2019 efforts on the front court, the Hoosiers have pivoted lately to the back court. It continued that trend on Thursday, extending offers to two extremely athletic and talented point/combo guards. KIRA LEWIS Indiana offered its second class of 2019 target from the state of Alabama, Kira Lewis. The Hazel Green, Alabama 4-star is an EYBL teammate of fellow Alabama native and IU target Trendon Watford. Given the clear mutual interest between Indiana and Watford, could…
Indiana University head basketball coach Archie Miller has said that it is a program imperative to recruit and secure the top talent in the state of Indiana. While he had some familiarity with the Hoosier state prior to becoming the IU head coach, he has relied on others, including assistant coach Ed Schilling to make inroads. One place where Miller needs no introduction is western Pennsylvania. The Hoosier head coach was born and raised in Beaver Falls, Pennsylvania, just northwest of Pittsburgh. While commonly thought of as a football mecca, when it comes to basketball, the Miller family is well-known…
