Jason Drake Joins IU's Growing Roster
The roster for the 2025-2026 Indiana Hoosiers continues to take shape as IU beat out St. John’s for the commitment of
Back court appears to be full with two apparent starters and three rotational players.
The theme is speed and shooters...a far cry from most of woody's rosters.
Not sure if you can see the other articles but Cig is bringing in some solid talent.
Out of nowhere.......
The more I look into this kid the more I like. Averaged 18 & 6 over the last 10 and dropped 37 in a conference tourney game?
Our central Arkansas transfer is heading back there after hardly playing this past year for us. They were horrible this year. Not sure I’d get too excited but it is silly season after all.

Current B1G projections from Bart Torvik. The first column is national rank. I'm guessing this is rosters right now so they he has Yaxel playing for Michigan (I'm hearing he will stay in the draft).
What do you think?

Until the rosters are set this is meaningless unless it serves a personal need.
Indiana got some needed depth on the front line with 6' 9" 240 Sam Alexis who played sparingly at FL. Added 6"7" Nick Dorn a good looking G from Elon eariler Thursday. Could see him stretch to a wing.
Two more bigs to go then hold #13 for last minute opportunity. Cout rulings also in play here.

People thought it would last year too. And then it didn't.
Fair. I think DJ’s injury will end up being a big reason why. Bringing back two AA’s, an impact transfer, and Mayer is going to be huge.

You may be correct but I don't recall that Michigan State was projected to be that strong. I'm too lazy to go back and look though.
Michigan State was picked 5th in the media preseason poll.
Surprising, they were the strongest going in.
Likely to run through the state of MI again unless CDD pulls a Cig...which I doubt.
Which btw have you see the talent Cig is pulling in? Just landed the top '26s out of Indiana and Wis. plus a couple of portal Dline edge rusher studs.

IU football remains one of the most pathetic in history sorry, and basketball continues to be a joke. Facts.
lol
You seem bitter, were you one of the PUkers just banned from the rivals site for trashing threads?
oh...and...66-0 with the backups in most of the second half.
And yet you fine folks base your self esteem on IU, focused on and chanting about IU at the very pinnacle of your school's athletic existence two seasons ago.
IU just scored again Sporto
Your tears are delicious
Looks like your pals have yet another stalker for me. Welcome @Lying jackass
Do you know who this one is as you did the others?
Clearly
And Wisconsin, Ill, Iowa, Kansas, Iowa State all dodged a bullet when he passed on their offers.
wait for it......

Purdue's last and only 10 win season in football occured in the 70's.
Awfully pathetic given the huge advantages the Big Ten West offered.
Not that pathetic when you factor in us having two of the worst Purdue coaches in our history during that stretch. Brohm probably should’ve won 10 here but always seemed to lose games he shouldn’t.
Let’s not act like that’s been some massive long term advantage. The Big Ten West existed for 11 of the Big Ten’s 129 year existence.
