Episode Details

Indiana basketball hosted another massive international recruiting target this weekend as 7-foot-1 German center Felix Kiehlneker visited Bloomington. Could Darian DeVries and the Hoosiers be building one of college basketball's most interesting international recruiting pipelines?

Kiehlneker is a 2027 center from Germany who brings legitimate size at 7-foot-1 and 230 pounds, but his film shows much more than just height. Jacob Goins breaks down what stands out about his athleticism, rebounding, activity around the basket and potential fit with Indiana basketball.

The Hoosiers have continued to make international recruiting a priority under Darian DeVries, and Kiehlneker is another name to watch as Indiana looks to build its 2027 recruiting class around current commit Chase Branham.

Plus, Josh Hoover continues to receive major preseason recognition. The Indiana quarterback has been named to the Manning Award watch list, while his Heisman Trophy betting odds continue to generate attention ahead of the 2026 college football season.

Can Indiana land another international big man? And just how good can Josh Hoover be in Curt Cignetti's offense?
