Jamar Johnson, Jerome Johnson, Jovan Swann, Harry Crider, Whop Philyor, Stevie Scott & Haydon Whitehead hope to join an NFL team this weekend.

He told me IU hasn't started recruiting his twin yet but he is starting to get higher profile interest.

IU offered this week. Here is our Q&A with him. https://www.thedailyhoosier.com/qa-with-latest-iu-basketball-offer-recipient-2022-4-star-forward-kyle-filipowski/

Here is the latest with Alex. https://www.thedailyhoosier.com/2022-forward-alex-karaban-updates-contact-with-indiana-after-the-coaching-change/

Thank you! That means so much to me.

You guys would have cracked up at me yesterday if you saw what I did to talk to Karaban (in Westfield), Washington and Casey (in Louisville), and also make both of my kids' basketball games. I pulled it all off but didn't get around to eating all day until about 9 p.m.

Great commenting by my good friend Bob Saccamanno, whose commenting just keeps getting better and better. In all seriousness, thank you.

I think there may have been some pandemic related concerns that contributed to that as well. And no I am not speculating on whether he had COVID because I have no clue, just may have otherwise played a role.

A legit 6-foot-11 with inside-out skills, in-state 2023 big man Xavier Booker already holds high major offers and he is hearing from IU. “He’s so long and he’s able to block shots and get different places on the court, and he’s able to elevate over other people because he’s got that length.” https://www.thedailyhoosier.com/iu-basketball-recruiting-class-of-2023-names-to-know-in-state-forward-xavier-booker/

A pure guess that I will likely change several times between now and November -- XJ, PS, TB, RT, TJD.

After a wild 4 weeks, Indiana's roster is ostensibly set with 13 scholarship players. With the most depth IU has had in a long time, the next challenge is to begin to make sense of minutes and rotations. We took a deep dive into just that. https://www.thedailyhoosier.com/indianas-roster-is-complete-for-now-and-heres-how-it-looks-position-by-position/

Miller Kopp made three trips to Bloomington with Northwestern, and each time seeds were planted that led to today. "That’s my favorite arena to play at in college basketball." https://www.thedailyhoosier.com/miller-kopp-finds-a-fit-with-former-rivals/

Bates' high school coaches on the player IU is getting: https://www.thedailyhoosier.com/tamar-bates-coaches-hes-special/

Mike Woodson's lone promise to Tamar Bates sounds a lot like the way Bob Knight once recruited, and probably the way Knight recruited Woodson. “Coach Woodson stressed to me that I will become a better man" And that was the main thing Bates needed to hear. https://www.thedailyhoosier.com/tamar-bates-mike-woodson-promised-to-make-me-a-better-man/

In Rob Phinisee, Dane Fife in many ways sees himself -- and a story that isn't complete https://www.thedailyhoosier.com/in-rob-phinisee-dane-fife-in-many-ways-sees-himself-and-a-story-that-isnt-complete/

This damn process is going to take us all down.

They are supposed to be targeted ads based on each users own personal search history. And that's all I'll say about that

It has become a recurring theme since he was announced as head coach just over a week ago. “Coach Woodson just seemed to answer all the questions correctly" https://www.thedailyhoosier.com/khristian-lander-sees-obvious-fit-in-mike-woodsons-offense/

Maybe I am just biased by the feedback I was hearing on the day he was announced, but it was like 80-20 negative.

Jalen has been hearing a lot from IU since Miller was fired, even before Woodson was hired. Roberts and Hunter were busy.
