Galen Clavio and Scott Caulfield kick off a packed April episode with Little 500 week, IU football spring game week, and the NFL Draft featuring a bevy of Hoosiers. Then it's the big story on the hardwood: Indiana men's basketball has assembled one of the top transfer portal classes in the country, giving Darian DeVries a real foundation to build on. Galen and Scott talk roster construction, why this portal haul feels different from prior years, and what still needs to be added (especially depth in the frontcourt) as the market continues to settle. After the break, the focus shifts to football: what to expect from Thursday night's spring game (including your first real look at newcomers like Nick Marsh and Josh Hoover) and why this is becoming a major cultural event now that season tickets are sold out. Then they close with the NFL Draft—why Fernando Mendoza is tracking toward becoming IU's highest-drafted player ever, and how many other Hoosiers could hear their names called, including Omar Cooper Jr. and D'Angelo Ponds.

Peegs.com publisher Jeff "Rabby" Rabjohns is back for PORTALMANIA!!!! Tune in to hear Rabby's expert take on the portal haul thus far accumulated by Coach DeVries and his dedicated staff. (Hint: Rabby is happy)Learn all about our newest Hoosiers... Markus Burton, Aiden Sherrell, Samet Yigitoglu, Jaeden Mustaf, Bryce Lindsay and Darren Harris.. from the one and only Rabbi of Recruiting himself, DJ Jazzy Jeff Rabjohns.But wait! There's more! Rabby will talk about how he envisions this reborn roster playing together in the DeVries system, and will even give his thoughts on both the floor and the ceiling for these Hoosiers going into the 2026-27 season.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

In this episode of The Assembly Call, we react to Indiana's massive transfer portal haul and what it might mean for year two under Darian DeVries. After a disappointing season, the tone has shifted quickly—and the conversation wrestles with how much of this excitement is justified versus how much still needs to be proven on the court.Segment 1: Inside Indiana's Portal HaulThe discussion centers on just how dramatic this roster overhaul has been—and why it feels different from past offseasons.Why this group appears more balanced than recent Indiana teamsHow the pieces might actually fit together in a modern offenseThe significance of adding a true lead guard and legit size up frontA surprise commitment during the show that adds another wrinkleWhether this is finally a roster without an obvious fatal flawSegment 2: What It Means (and What's Still Missing)The excitement is real—but so are the questions.How much of last year's struggles were roster vs. coachingWhy this offseason suggests the staff may have learned from year oneThe importance of continuity and multi-year playersWhat positions still need to be addressed before the roster is completeThe big unknown: how it all comes together once games actually startBottoms line:There's real momentum—and a real plan. But this episode makes it clear: April wins don't mean much unless they translate to November.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Indiana's portal run keeps adding the pieces it had to add — size, physicality, rebounding, and rim protection. Galen Clavio is joined by Bob Moats and Mike Wiemuth from X's and Joe's for another emergency crossover to break down Samet Yigitoglu's commitment from SMU and the rapidly building momentum around Aiden Sherrill (Alabama) who committed shortly after the podcast aired.They explain why Yigitoglu is a major need-fill: a true 7-foot-plus center who rebounds on both ends, creates extra possessions with offensive boards, and gives Indiana a real interior presence it didn't have last season. Then they pivot to the Sherrill discussion—why he profiles as a modern stretch-capable big who blocks shots, rebounds, and fits perfectly in Darian DeVries' spacing and two-man-game world. The episode also zooms out to roster-building: why Indiana's portal strategy looks far more “big-boy” this cycle, what adding multi-year pieces does for continuity, and what kinds of complementary players IU still needs to complete a functional 8–9 man rotation.

Grace Ybarra and Galen Clavio react to Indiana men's basketball's suddenly nation-leading transfer portal class — and then the episode gets an in-show plot twist when Villanova guard Bryce Lindsey commits to the Hoosiers while they're recording. They break down how Indiana got here (minutes + money + vision), what Darian DeVries and the staff are building with Markus Burton, Jaeden Mustaf, Darren Harris, Samet Yigitoglu, and Aiden Sherrill, and why this class looks fundamentally different—more size, more athleticism, more high-major experience, and more multi-year continuity. Then the show pivots to IU culture: Little 500 history and traditions, why the week is one of the best recruiting weekends in college football, and the behind-the-scenes quirks that make Little 5 such a uniquely Bloomington event.

Indiana men's basketball's portal surge continues — and this one is a program-shifting add. Galen Clavio is joined by Bob Moats and Mike Wiemuth from X's and Joe's for an emergency crossover breaking down Markus Burton's commitment to IU.

They also discuss Burton's defensive value (especially his knack for getting opposing point guards into foul trouble), the injury context and eligibility outlook, and what this commitment signals about Darian DeVries and Kenny Johnson operating with a clear, targeted plan in the portal. Finally, they zoom out to roster construction: why adding multi-year “bridge” pieces matters, what types of bigs Indiana still needs to complete the build, and why this kind of recruiting win is exactly how a program raises its ceiling in the modern era.

Indiana men's basketball finally has portal momentum — and it comes in a hurry. Galen Clavio is joined by Bob Moats and Mike Wiemuth from X's and Joe's for an emergency crossover episode breaking down Indiana's first portal commitments: Jaeden Mustaf (Georgia Tech) and Darren Harris (Duke). They discuss Mustaf's profile as a physical downhill guard/wing, why his ability to get into the lane matters in the Big Ten, and what his production looked like in a tough Georgia Tech context. Then, mid-show, the second bomb drops: Harris commits — and the guys unpack what IU is getting in a former top-50 recruit with shooting gravity, defensive competitiveness, and clear schematic fit with Darian DeVries and Kenny Johnson building the roster. They also talk lineup construction, the rumored next domino (Markus Burton) and how these pieces would change the speed and creation ability of IU's offense, plus what this says about the staff's Year 2 plan: raising the floor in athleticism/physicality first, then filling in the frontcourt to complete the build.

The one and only Jeff Rabjohns, publisher of 247's Peegs.com and world's foremost expert on Hoosier hoops, hops on discuss where everything stands with the Indiana program. We recap the season that was, assess how strong the institutional support is, including NIL, where is the fan support at, how is the coaching, and what does it look like on the talent front with both current high school commits, and the how the the portal is set up for us just as it's about to open.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Galen Clavio recaps a fascinating Sunday in the NCAA Tournament — a day that pushed back on the early top seed dominance and offered some encouraging signs for the Big Ten. He runs through the biggest results (including Alabama's blowout, Arizona surviving, Iowa State's statement, UConn's best version showing up, Purdue advancing, Tennessee's win, Saint John's rock fight, and Iowa's stunner), then zooms out to the bigger question Indiana fans can't avoid: why does IU keep watching other programs level up while Indiana sits at home? Galen discusses the new NIL/portal reality — how it's more “democratic” than people admit, how money still matters but smart spending matters more, and why the Iowa Sweet 16 run under first-year coach Ben McCollum stings in Bloomington. The conclusion is clear: the next few weeks are pivotal for Darian DeVries and Indiana basketball, because the program needs a roster with real identity, energy, and cohesion — not just hope.

Galen Clavio and Grace Ybarra are back with a midweek IU athletics update — and this one is all about Indiana men's basketball finding traction.They open with the Hoosiers' 92–74 win over Oregon, highlighted by another monster scoring night from Lamar Wilkerson and a huge efficiency game from Sam Alexis. The conversation then turns to what's changing under head coach Darian DeVries (including how he's adjusting Alexis' usage), why Indiana's offense is beginning to feel more sustainable, and the one looming concern: a defensive trendline that's drifting the wrong way even as the wins pile up.From there, it's a forward look at Illinois—matchup strengths/weaknesses, injury questions, and what Indiana needs to do to steal one on the road—before zooming out to bracketology and the Big Ten Tournament seeding mess (yes, including the dreaded 11 a.m. tips).

Indiana demolished Oregon 92-74 behind Lamar Wilkerson's nuclear 41-point performance at Assembly Hall, moving to 17-8 overall and 8-6 in Big Ten play. After missing his first five shots and not scoring until seven minutes remained in the first half, Wilkerson erupted for 16 points to close the opening period and then added 25 in a second half where Indiana shot an absurd 81% from the field, finishing with a 1.8 points-per-possession output that erased any doubt about the final outcome.Andy Bottoms, Ryan Phillips, and Coach Bob Moats break down the offensive clinic and what it means moving forward:How Wilkerson became just the fifth Indiana player since George McGinnis to record multiple 40-point games in a season, now leading the Big Ten in conference scoring at 24.4 points per gameSam Alexis's continued emergence with another perfect shooting night (8-of-8) and dominant defensive performance against Nate Biddle, opening up the offense early when shots weren't fallingWhy Indiana's second-half offensive explosion (11-of-11 on two-pointers, missing only four total field goals) showcased the full potential of Darian DeVries's system against overmatched opponentsConor Enright's steady excellence as a floor general (eight assists, six rebounds, plus-22 in 36 minutes) proving he's far exceeded expectations as a Big 10 starting point guardThe defensive lapses in the second half that allowed 1.42 points per possession—something that could prove costly against Illinois's top-ranked offense in six daysNick Dorn's confidence-restoring second half after struggling while battling illness, hitting clutch threes and free throws when Indiana needed scoring balanceWhat this five-of-six stretch says about coaching development and veteran play compared to earlier season strugglesPlus, as always: the big moments you might have missed, stats that stood out, and our game ball and hustle award.This episode brought to you by the Back Home Network and Homefield Apparel.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
