It's a whole episode about the Indiana Hoosiers and Kentucky Wildcats across both baseball and basketball.

Out of nowhere, the Indiana Hoosiers landed in the final five for Dayton transfer Mike Sharavjamts after he pulled out of the 2023 NBA Draft and remained in the transfer portal. Both Mike Woodson and Tom Allen spoke about their respective teams at an NIL fundraiser on Wednesday. On today's episode of Locked on Hoosiers, Jacob Rude (@JacobRude) looks at the latest potential transfer target for the Hoosiers in Mongolian Mike. A unique player, Sharavjamts is listed as a 6'8" forward but played last season more as a guard for the Flyers. Woodson, though, spoke on Wednesday of his desire to build a roster full of players listed at 6'7", 6'8" and 6'9" that can be rangy, athletic and will defend. He also spoke of going back to his "comfort zone" in a new, more open playstyle this season. The show wraps by looking at Allen's comments on the QB room for the Hoosiers and the battle between Tayven Jackson and Brendan Sorsby. He also provided an update on the recovery of Dexter Williams.

Mackenzie Holmes was the center of everything great for the Indiana Hoosiers women's basketball team this season, both figuratively and literally. Her incredible season for IU also will go down as one of the best seasons in the program's history as well. On today's episode of Locked on Hoosiers, Jacob Rude (@JacobRude) looks back on Holmes 2022-23 campaign and how incredible it was. She finished the season second in points in a single season, first in field goals made and first in field goal percentage. That doesn't leave much room for improvement looking forward for Holmes and the Hoosiers. One of the main things to watch ahead of her final season in Bloomington is watching her make the case as the program's best player ahead of Tyra Buss and Grace Berger. The show wraps by looking at Taryn Kerr being named a First Team and Freshman All-American by D1Softball.com. 2026 prospect Ethan Mgbako, brother of recently-committed Mackenzie Mbako, had some interesting comments about IU recent as well.

The Indiana Hoosiers baseball team made it's path to the Big Ten title harder on Thursday by falling to the Iowa Hawkeyes. IU flirted with fire and was eventually burned and now face the Michigan Wolverines on Friday. On today's episode of Locked on Hoosiers, Jacob Rude (@JacobRude) recaps Indiana's loss to Iowa, one in which they led for the first six innings of the game but did not ever feel comfortable. After a sterling outing from Luke Sinnard on the mound, IU's bullpen blew the lead by allowing eight runs in the final three innings. Now, Indiana needs to go on a win streak to win a conference title. The show wraps by looking at the over/under projection from Fanduel for Indiana football this season. Set at 3.5 wins, the Hoosiers are going to find it difficult to win more than three games with a typically tough Big Ten East schedule. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

Jalen Hood-Schifino's season with the Indiana Hoosiers will be remembered fondly after he exceeded expectations. Can the likes of Trey Galloway and Xavier Johnson fill the void left by him next season? On today's episode of Locked on Hoosiers, Jacob Rude (@JacobRude) looks back at JHS' season in candy stripes and relives the memorable moments. Hood-Schifino will go down as one of the one-and-dones in Indiana history after stepping up for IU this season.

The show wraps by discussing Xavier Johnson's frustrating campaign that was cut short. With a new-look offense, how will Johnson and Galloway adapt and potentially excel.

After a quiet spring, the Indiana Hoosiers women's basketball team picked up a big transfer in Sharnecce Currie-Jelks of UT-Martin. The IU men's basketball team gained some clarity on it's schedule with the Gavitt Games matchups announced while Athlon Sports announced it's preseason All-Big Ten teams with Jaylin Lucas highlighting Indiana's representatives. On today's episode of Locked on Hoosiers, Jacob Rude (@JacobRude) breaks down the newest player to join the IU roster in Currie-Jelks. In her freshman season at UT-Martin, she was named Freshman of the Year in the Ohio Valley Conference as well as earning a First Team All-Conference selection. Mike Woodson's crew will not take part in this year's Gavitt Games, perhaps not much of a surprise considering the Hoosiers have featured in the event more than any other Big Ten team. It leaves an opening in the schedule for IU that could be used in a number of ways, potentially against Notre Dame, even. The show wraps by looking at Athlon Sports' All-Big Ten teams where Lucas was the First Team kick returner. Aaron Casey, Cam Camper, James Evans, Andre Carter and Matthew Bedford all also featured on the teams. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors! Birddogs Today's episode is brought to you by Birddogs.

Will the Indiana Hoosiers, who previously reached out to Love, express interest once again? On today's episode of Locked on Hoosiers, Jacob Rude (@JacobRude) reacts to the news of Love re-entering the transfer portal.

While both of them measured out a bit shorter than anticipated, each also had impressive wingspans to make up for it. The show wraps by looking at the latest mock drafts from ESPN, The Ringer, Bleacher Report and USA Today.

After much discussion of Mackenzie Mgbako and his commitment to the Indiana Hoosiers, how does he fit within Mike Woodson's offense? While his offensive skillset has been discussed between his shooting and athleticism, can he hang defensively as well? On today's episode of Locked on Hoosiers, Jacob Rude (@JacobRude) dives deeper into Mgbako's fit with the Hoosiers. With his speed and quickness, he'll be able to beat players off the dribble, something that should help him fit in IU's new-look offense. His shooting has also been a discussed part of his game and while he can shoot the ball from range, he wasn't all that efficient in high school. If Indiana can adjust his shot profile, perhaps he could find more success in Bloomington. The show wraps by looking at his defensive impact. His size and speed will make him a matchup problem in a good way for the Hoosiers, something they haven't had in recent years. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

The balance of the Hoosiers' new roster also is another indication of how Indiana wants to play next season. The NBA Draft Combine got underway on Monday with Trayce Jackson-Davis taking the court. TJD flashed a 3-point jumper that should make him a more intriguing option for teams. The show wraps by looking at the latest player to receive an offer from the Hoosiers in 2025 guard Darius Acuff.

The commitment of Mackenzie Mgbako to the Indiana Hoosiers is one that has many details and ripple effects, including how Carmelo Anthony played a role in IU landing him. The Indiana softball team had an eventful weekend that ended in returning to the NCAA Tournament for the first time since 2011. On today's episode of Locked on Hoosiers, Jacob Rude (@JacobRude) provides the latest details on Mgbako's recruitment with Melo calling the recruit to convince him to play for IU. 2024 top-5 target Dylan Harper also commented on the commitment of Mgbako. The IU softball team nearly captured a Big Ten championship on Saturday before collapsing in the seventh inning against Northwestern. They still earned a spot in the NCAA Tournament in the Knoxville Region with No. 4 Tennessee, Louisville and Northern Kentucky. The show wraps by looking at the historic weekend for the Hoosiers baseball team in which they scored 51 runs against Purdue, a program record vs. the Boilermakers. IU sits tied atop the Big Ten standings and a sweep of their final series in conference play this year will guarantee them at least a share of the conference title.

2023 top-10 recruit Mackenzie Mgbako announced his decision to commit to the Indiana Hoosiers on Friday evening, a huge win for Mike Woodson and the IU staff. In an offseason where the Hoosiers landed Kel'el Ware, Anthony Walker and Payton Sparks, Mgbako is the gem of them all.

For the third straight spring, Woodson landed the commitment of a five-star recruit with Mgbako joining Tamar Bates and Malik Reneau. Mgbako is the perfect forward Indiana has been looking for, especially as they transition to a new offense. His presence will have positive ripple effects on the roster as well from Ware to Xavier Johnson and others. The show wraps by looking at the Indiana softball team as they prepare for their first Big Ten title game appearance.

The Mackenzie Mgbako transfer saga will come to an end on Friday as his decision between the Indiana Hoosiers and Kansas Jayhawks will come at the start of the weekend. Plus, the Indiana women's basketball team made a big announcement, Julian Phillips could be the Hoosiers latest transfer target and Taryn Kern takes home Big Ten Player of the Year as IU readies for the conference tournament. On today's episode of Locked on Hoosiers, Jacob Rude (@JacobRude) gives the latest update on Mgbako's recruitment, which will come to an end on Friday at an undesignated time. The IU women's basketball program, meanwhile, announced the sale of season tickets for next season with reserved seats as well as other changes to parking and the student section. As a potential backup option should the Hoosiers miss out on Mgbako, Indiana could look at Julian Phillips, a Tennessee Volunteers transfer who entered the portal on Wednesday. As one of the first players to receive a scholarship offer from Mike Woodson and his staff in 2021, the connections are there between the two sides. The show wraps by looking at the Big Ten softball awards, highlighted by Kern winning Player of the Year and Freshman of the Year, the latter unanimously. Indiana is set to kick off their tournament against Penn State as they look to keep momentum rolling before entering the NCAA Tournament. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

The big update to the recruitment of 2023 top-10 prospect Mackenzie Mgbako is that he's down to his final two schools with the Indiana Hoosiers and Kansas Jayhawks being the two options. For a number of reasons, Mgbako is a really big potential recruit for Mike Woodson and his staff. On today's episode of Locked on Hoosiers, Jacob Rude (@JacobRude) reacts to the news of the Hoosiers being in the final two of Mgbako's. It's hard to overstate how important of a recruit Mgbako would be considering all the boxes he would check for IU. In NBA Draft news, both Jalen Hood-Schifino and Trayce Jackson-Davis were invited to the Draft combine, which begins the pre-draft process for both players. Former Hoosier OG Anunoby earned Second Team All-Defense honors with the Raptors this year. The show wraps by looking at the spring class for the Hoosiers For Good NIL collective, highlighted by Mackenzie Holmes. Interestingly, the newest class features a number of football players and most of those being transfers into the program. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

The Indiana Hoosiers offered 2025 shooting guard Kiyan Anthony a scholarship on Monday, the son of former NBA star Carmelo Anthony. IU coach Mike Woodson and Melo have a lengthy history and relationship dating back to the NBA and their time together with the Knicks. On today's episode of Locked on Hoosiers, Jacob Rude (@JacobRude) discusses the latest high school prospect to receive an offer from IU. Woodson and Carmelo spent many seasons together in New York and that close relationship could pay dividends in this recruitment. Kiyan is the latest of a number of prospects offered by the Hoosiers this offseason, but they still have holes in the current roster to be filled. Is it time to hit the panic button yet for the Hoosiers? The show wraps by recapping the very little known about 2023 forward Mackenzie Mgbako's visit to Bloomington, a schedule update for the men's basketball team and a departure from women's basketball coaching staff.

The Indiana Hoosiers basketball team will depart with a pair of impactful seniors in Miller Kopp and Race Thompson this offseason. Can the likes of Kel'el Ware, Kaleb Banks, Malik Reneau and others step up for Mike Woodson to replace them? On today's episode of Locked on Hoosiers, Jacob Rude (@JacobRude) reviews the seasons of both Kopp and Thompson, which were opposites in terms of how they performed relative to expectations. After a down season, Kopp excelled while Thompson was limited by injury and struggled. While both of them were part of what made IU successful with their effort and defense, they also are part of what held IU back in their losses. Replacing them won't be like-for-like next season, though that might be for the better as well. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!
