From the moment Charlie Becker left his unofficial visit to Indiana, he knew where he wanted to play college football. Becker and his parents took that unofficial visit on May 26, three weeks before his official visit. And after spending time with head coach Tom Allen and his staff, and touring IU’s campus and facilities, the class of 2024 wide receiver was sold. He had trouble saying no to the other schools recruiting him, so he didn’t immediately commit. But Becker knew IU was the right fit after the unofficial visit. “When we left after about five hours I said,…
Recruiting season is rolling on for IU football. The Hoosiers picked up a commitment from linebacker Quentin Clark on Monday, he announced on Twitter. Clark is IU’s 11th commit in the class of 2024 and the first linebacker of the bunch. https://twitter.com/Big15QuentinC/status/1673469302362583053 The Dublin, Ga. native chose Indiana over other offers from Virginia Tech, Liberty, Marshall, Middle Tennessee State, and Western Kentucky. He was not ranked by the major recruiting sites. Clark checks in at 6-foot-3, 195 pounds. He took an official visit to Bloomington last weekend. According to his MaxPreps page, Clark had 105 tackles as a junior in…
Indiana football was aggressive in the transfer portal this offseason, and the result is a roster with new faces in nearly every position room. The Hoosiers brought in 20 new players this offseason between both transfer portal windows. IU’s transfer class ranks No. 15 in the country and first in the Big Ten on 247Sports. Quarterback Tayven Jackson may be the headliner, and he’ll have a chance to earn the starting role during fall camp. But the area that will see the most impact is, perhaps, defensive line. Western Michigan transfer Andre Carter is expected to step in as the…
IU head men’s basketball coach Mike Woodson said it will be ‘huge for the program’ for Jalen Hood-Schifino and Trayce Jackson-Davis to be selected in the 2023 NBA Draft. That vision became a reality on Thursday night. Hood-Schifino became IU’s first draft pick since 2019 when he went to the Los Angeles Lakers at No. 17 overall. Jackson-Davis slipped in the second round, but got the call from the Golden State Warriors at No. 57 overall. This is the 14th NBA Draft in which IU has had multiple players selected. Hood-Schifino lit up the Big Ten last season, earning Freshman…
A big night for Indiana men’s basketball has turned into a big night for Indiana football as well. The football team picked up a commitment on Thursday from 2024 wide receiver Charlie Becker out of Nashville, Tenn. Becker announced his decision on Twitter. https://twitter.com/CharlieB_16/status/1672016682846396416 Becker visited IU over the weekend. Becker is rated a three-star recruit by 247Sports Composite, which ranks him the No. 36 overall prospect in Tennessee for the class of 2024. He’s Indiana’s tenth commit in his recruiting class, and the first wide receiver in that group. Javier Etheridge also profiles as a wideout, though he’s listed…
The Big Ten announced its women’s basketball opponents for each team’s conference schedule for the 2023-24 season on Thursday. Indiana’s slate won’t be easy as the Hoosiers try to defend their Big Ten regular season crown. https://twitter.com/SethTow/status/1671896484793425921 Four of the five teams IU will play twice next season went to the NCAA Tournament last year. Iowa went all the way to the national title game, and Maryland got to the Elite Eight; both programs will expect to be back at that caliber again next year. The Hawkeyes, in particular, have high expectations with Caitlin Clark back for another season. Purdue…
For Jalen Hood-Schifino and Trayce Jackson-Davis, the big day has finally arrived. The IU duo will learn their NBA destinations Thursday night during the 2023 NBA Draft. The draft begins at 8 p.m. and will air on ABC and ESPN. These will be Indiana’s first NBA Draft selections since 2019, when the Boston Celtics took Romeo Langford at No. 14, the final pick of the lottery. Should Hood-Schifino go higher than that, he’d be IU’s highest pick in nearly a decade, since Noah Vonleh went ninth overall to the Portland Trail Blazers in 2014. IU has had seven players drafted since…
For the second straight season, Indiana football will enter fall camp with its starting quarterback yet to be determined. Redshirt freshmen Tayven Jackson and Brendan Sorsby spent the spring engaged in a competition for the starting job. While one may have a lead going into fall, the battle is far from over. IU head coach Tom Allen and his offensive staff want to see how both players perform during fall camp and the team’s three preseason scrimmages before deciding who will throw passes for the Hoosiers against Ohio State on September 2. “Haven’t moved the needle there on that one,”…
When Christian Peterson arrived at Carmel High School last year, he’d never played cornerback. The recent IU commit spent the first two years of his high school career playing wide receiver at Pike High School, and he transferred to Carmel ahead of his junior year. The Greyhounds had a need at cornerback, with multiple Division I-quality receivers already on the roster. Head coach John Hebert saw Peterson as a versatile athlete, and proposed moving him to corner. Peterson gave it a try, and Hebert quickly realized it was a good move. Peterson immediately stood out at cornerback, both in the…
