Indiana may be one of the most decorated programs in college basketball history, but a brand name no longer has the recruiting pull it used to. In the past, the Hoosiers had a foolproof sell: it’s Indiana.
Former Alabama quarterback Ty Simpson is still puzzled by Indiana’s defense. Simpson couldn’t get the Crimson Tide into the end zone at the Rose Bowl in January against the Hoosiers. He could barely get first downs against defensive coordinator Bryant Haines’ elite unit.
Indiana Hoosiers' offensive lineman Joe Brunner had many connections pulling him to Indiana, but ultimately, it was the chance to be part of the culture that sold him on IU.
College athletics is caught up in a tangled web of change and trying to figure itself out at the moment. Eligibility has been a major point of contention for several years, and the NCAA seems to be headed down a path it hopes will provide some simplicity and clarity while keeping it out of the courts.
Darian DeVries and his IU basketball staff have made a splash this week with one of the nation’s best transfer portal hauls. But the Hoosiers still have three open spots on the roster as of Friday morning.
Leading up to the 2026 NFL Draft, reporters and analysts have often mentioned how Mendoza is similar to Detroit Lions star Jared Goff. For a piece published on Friday, Matt Miller of ESPN spoke with an AFC East area scout who thought of a different quarterback while noting that the Las Vegas Raiders will make Mendoza the draft's first pick on the night of April 23.
According to a lengthy piece produced by Greg Bishop of Sports Illustrated, Mendoza has had Brady as an unofficial mentor for some time.
After a disappointing first season in Bloomington for head coach Darian DeVries and with only one returning player and three incoming freshmen recruits to build around, the honeymoon period for IU's new head coach was officially over and pressure had begun to mount.
IU football has one week left in spring camp, and its quarterback spot is in good shape. The Hoosiers will roll with TCU transfer Josh Hoover in the fall, with a lot of production under his belt with the Horned Frogs.
IU football coach Curt Cignetti, offensive lineman Joe Brunner and running back Turbo Richard addressed the media on Thursday morning as the Hoosiers continue spring practice.
Watch as IU football running back Turbo Richard and offensive lineman Joe Brunner met with the media Thursday morning in Bloomington. Richard transferred in from Boston College during the offseason, while Brunner came from Wisconsin.
A lot of moving parts remain, but there are some early clues Indiana basketball’s 2026 roster rebuild is positioning the Hoosiers as a nationally relevant team for the 2026-27 season.
We all have a nightmare travel story. Kaelon Black’s just happened to occur during the biggest week of his life. After sleeping at Chicago O’Hare International Airport, one of the busiest travel hubs in the country, Black needed to hop in an Uber to make his way to Cincinnati after his flight was canceled for his final meeting with NFL teams.
To say that IU basketball is off to a good start with its 2026 roster rebuild would be an understatement. Second-year coach Darian DeVries has filled six of his nine roster openings, and the early returns indicate the Hoosiers have one of the nation’s best transfer portal classes.
Indiana received a commitment from Villanova transfer guard Bryce Lindsay on Wednesday evening. A 6-foot-3 guard, Lindsay averaged 12.3 points per game for the Wildcats in 2025-26.
In the 2025-26 season, Indiana didn’t have many luxuries. Pure bucket-getters – and two of them in Lamar Wilkerson and Tucker DeVries – were perhaps the only ones the Hoosiers had.
Darian DeVries’ recruiting prowess cannot be questioned. In the past three days, Indiana’s 2026-27 roster went from three freshmen and returning forward Trent Sisley – not exactly an optimistic outlook – to an experienced juggernaut.
Darian DeVries had a shaky start to his tenure with the Indiana Hoosiers. In his first season as head coach, the Hoosiers went just 18-14 and 9-11 in Big Ten matchups.
Alabama transfer forward/center Aiden Sherrell announced his commitment to Indiana basketball today. The 6-foot-11 and 255-pound Sherrell averaged 11.1 points, 6.2 rebounds, 1.1 assists and 2.2 blocks per game as a sophomore in 2025-26.
It’s the spring signing period, and IU basketball announced Wednesday afternoon the formal addition of class of 2026 wing Trevor Manhertz. IU initially lists Manhertz as 6-foot-8 and 185 pounds.
Indiana announced today that it has signed class of 2026 forward Trevor Manhertz, who committed to the Hoosiers in late January. Here’s the full release from IU Athletics: BLOOMINGTON, Ind.
Darian DeVries knew the majority of his core unit would be out of eligibility after the 2025-26 season. Indiana’s top five leading scorers, along with its primary playmaker in Conor Enright, entered the past campaign with just one remaining year of eligibility.
Will Brady be willing to mentor Mendoza?
It was a disappointing season for the Indiana Hoosiers. Led by first-year head coach Darian DeVries, the Hoosiers went just 18-14 overall and 9-11 in Big Ten games.
Most signs point to the Las Vegas Raiders selecting Fernando Mendoza with the top overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft. What is much less certain, however, are Mendoza’s chances of becoming a star in the pros.
