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 third in a series of more in depth reviews of their respective seasons as we discuss former Hoosier freshman phenom Noah Vonleh. We didn’t know Noah Vonleh long, but he certainly made an impact during his one year with Indiana. While the 2013-14 season wasn’t a memorable year for the IU program, Vonleh certainly made his mark. He averaged 11.3 points, 9.0 rebounds, and 1.4 blocks while shooting 52% from the field overall and 48.5% from distance. Ultimately, Vonleh…

The Big Ten has released the home and away opponents for each of the 14 members of the Big Ten Conference. The conference schedule expands to 20 games starting with the 2018-19 season, with each team playing seven teams both home and away and six teams only once. Indiana will play Nebraska, Ohio State and Wisconsin only once at home, and Maryland, Minnesota and Penn State only once on the road. The results are mixed for Indiana. They caught a break by only having to face Ohio State and Wisconsin once at home, while they will have to face likely…
Want to be a college basketball coach? Hope you like to travel. A lot. The Indiana coaching staff has been all over the midwest and south over the last two weeks as they look to formulate the class of 2019 and put the finishing touches on 2018. Below is a list of the at least 13 visits that we are aware of, including at least 8 trips out of state. Almost all of these journeys included head coach Archie Miller, along with other members of the coaching staff. The lone exception as it relates to Miller’s attendance might have been…
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 second in a series of more in depth reviews of their respective seasons. Today we discuss former Hoosier big man Thomas Bryant. It was about this time of year in 2015 when Thomas Bryant committed live on ESPN to play for Indiana. A lot has transpired for Bryant and the Hoosiers since then, including an outright Big Ten title, a coaching change, and an early exit to the NBA in 2017. While some have speculated that Bryant…
The class of 2019 train keeps rolling, as Indiana offers a scholarship to Florida point guard Tre Mann.

ESPN, which ranks him 7th at his position nationally, had this assessment of the rising star: “He is considered to be a scoring point guard with…
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 first in a series of more in depth reviews of their respective seasons. We begin with the IU all-time assists leader, Yogi Ferrell. It seems like a long time ago since Yogi Ferrell suffered through the disappointment of not hearing his name called in the 2016 NBA draft. After starting the 2016-17 season with the Long Island Nets of the G-League, Ferrell soon made it up to the NBA’s Brooklyn Nets in November of that…
-Updated to reflect Jahmius Ramsey Offer on Tuesday Afternoon- The Indiana coaching staff continues to maintain a hectic pace as it seeks to finalize its 2018 class and formulate the 2019 class. There have been several reports in the last few days with respect to both classes. First, let’s recap the activity of the past couple weeks. For the 2018 class, of course there is Romeo Langford, with an announcement set for April 30. You may recall our article on South Dakota 2018 graduate transfer Matt Mooney as a potential target. Although the Hoosiers expressed interest initially, some reports indicated…
The Indiana University men’s basketball program has offered a scholarship to class of 2019 point guard D.J. Carton of Bettendorf, Iowa. The 6-3 four-star guard announced the offer via Twitter after Indiana’s coaching staff completed an in-home visit on Sunday: https://twitter.com/DJCarton/status/985661850598756352 Carton, who is ranked in the top 50 nationally by 247 Sports, has offers from several programs including Iowa and Wisconsin who are considered to be the two front runners. He is the Hawkeyes’ top target for 2019. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wEUpi8Z_GrY Carton took a 2-day unofficial visit to Indiana in January. The visit included the Purdue game, so he was able…
Archie Miller and his staff have had quite the impressive run of in-home visits over the last 10 days with a number of class of 2019 big men. We previously told you about in-home visits with Trayce Jackson-Davis, Trendon Watford, and Keion Brooks, including an optimistic quote from Brooks that emerged after his visit. Later we reported on their visit this past Friday with Matthew Hurt. Now a Rivals report has stated that Archie Miller visited 5-star center Isaiah Stewart today. That makes at least five big men in the overall 2019 top 30 that Indiana has visited in-home. While the…
In case you somehow missed it, Indiana University recruiting target Romeo Langford set the date to announce his college decision between Indiana, Kansas and Vanderbilt. The announcement will be made on Monday, April 30th, at the New Albany High School gym, and it will be open to the public. At least for those of us that discuss these things, the announcement (or should we say “The Announcment”) is beginning to take on a larger than life feeling. Think The Beatles in 1964 or Michael Jackson in 1988 in Indianapolis. Ok, ok, it isn’t anywhere near that big, but it is…
