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.

The 2017-18 NBA season has ended for five of the eight former Indiana Hoosiers that registered statistics in the league this year. Today marks the fifth in a series of more in depth reviews of their respective seasons as we discuss former Hoosier big man Cody Zeller. It is interesting timing to be talking about former IU star Cody Zeller. Over seven years ago he committed to play for Tom Crean and the Hoosiers in what was viewed at the time as game-changer for the program. And it was, at least for a little while. Fast forward to today, and we are about a…

We are just over a week away from one of the most anticipated recruiting decisions in the history of Indiana basketball. It is at least as big as the Cody Zeller decision. The similarities to the Zeller decision are striking, with an entire fan base clinging to the decision of an in-state star to turn around the state’s signature program. Somehow Romeo Langford’s decision between Indiana, Kansas and Vanderbilt feels even bigger. We’re not sure if its his exciting style of play, his pursuit of the all-time scoring record, or the way he engages with the fans, but the attention…
The 2017-18 NBA season has ended for five of the eight former Indiana Hoosiers that registered statistics in the league this year. Today marks the fourth in a series of more in depth reviews of their respective seasons as we discuss former Hoosier high flyer Troy Williams. Troy Williams arrived in Bloomington from Hampton, Virginia for the 2013-14 season. With a reputation as a great athlete that could attack the basket, Williams found a role immediately with the Hoosiers. While erratic at times, especially early in his IU career, Williams improved each year and by his junior season he became a more reliable veteran.…
The news was eye-catching when it appeared on Twitter. After going in-home and visiting 5-star Trendon Watford on April 7, Archie Miller and the other members of his IU staff were going back less than two weeks later. While not completely unheard of, this was a pretty unique occurrence. The spring recruiting windows are tight. There was just a four day window in early April and then just four more days in mid-April for coaches and players to get organized and squeeze in all of the visits they were targeting. As far as we know, Indiana was the only school…
