As the Indiana Hoosiers hit the field for their second practice of the spring, a handful of recruits will be descending upon Bloomington for unofficial visits. Seven prospects, we could not dig up anything on Jeff Scott, will be on campus to take in the sights and sounds of IU. So let’s take a look at who will be making the rounds in B-Town this weekend.
Read MoreAll winter long we have been expecting to see converted linebacker Chris Covington back in the back up quarterback role, but when the position changes were announced this morning it said that Covington will be returning to his original position of linebacker. Indiana Hoosier head coach Kevin Wilson said the move was initiated by Covington because “it’s what he wanted” and that “what’s best for him is best for the team.”
Read MoreA new season is here, enough of the talk about who might do what, it is time to put on the pads and buckle up the chinstrap. The Indiana Hoosiers finally hit the field again in Mellencamp Pavilion as they partook in their first of 15 practices this spring. The hope and optimism was palpable as the Hoosiers got back a healthy Nate Sudfeld, which has been the big question looming over IU since October. On Thursday, Sudfeld did not don the yellow non-contact jersey and was a full go in team drills and looked sharp in a practiced that head coach Kevin Wilson called “pretty good”.

Wisconsin Badgers
The Wisconsin Badgers opened Spring Practice (on March 15) for the first time under new head coach Paul Chryst. Chryst is quite familiar with the Wisconsin way of doing things and I don’t expect to see much change in Madison. The Badgers will be working with a new coaching staff (with the exception of returning DC Dave Aranda) and they will be attempting to replace Melvin Gordon in the backfield.

Spring Preview: Running Backs
The B1G’s 2014 season was all about three things: Ohio State’s march to a National Title, wonderfully bad commercials on the B1G Network and the abundance of talent at running back. David Cobb, Akeem Hunt, Ameer Abdullah, Jeremy Langford, Melvin Gordon, Justin Jackson, Ezekiel Elliott and of course, Tevin Coleman, are just some of the names that terrorized B1G defenses. Many of them have moved on and a lot of teams are spending their Spring practices attempting to find guys to fill big holes in the backfield.
Read MoreThe Indiana Athletic Department announced Monday that the Hoosiers will renew their rivalry with the Ball State Cardinals as part of a three game series starting in 2018. IU will host BSU in 2018 and 2020 at Memorial Stadium in Bloomington. Ball State is trying to move the 2019 game to Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis. Despite being just a few hours down the road from each other the Hoosiers and Cardinals have met just seven times. IU holds the series edge four wins to three, but BSU has won the last three. The last meeting was in 2012, a 41-39 Ball State victory.
Read MoreSpring practice is just a mere five days away and the biggest question that should be on the minds of Hoosier fans is, how is quarterback Nate Sudfeld going to look coming off of season-ending shoulder surgery in 2014. The 2015 season, and possibly Kevin Wilson’s job, hinges on whether or not Sudfeld can return to form and get IU to their first bowl game since 2007. Whenever a player is coming back from injury it is difficult, almost impossible, to predict what he is going to look like before actually seeing them practice, especially if they will be limited in contact like Sudfeld. However, this is not solely a Nate Sudfeld piece, the Hoosiers have other quarterbacks that need to show improvement in order for this team to reach its goals. IU also returns Chris Covington from injury and Zander Diamont, who started the final six games for the Hoosiers in 2014.
