BLOOMINGTON, Ind. — HoosiersNow.com reporters Daniel Olinger and Jack Ankony are back again this week to bring you another episode of the Hoosier Roundtable Podcast. 

We hit a number of different topics on this episode, including:

  • What we want to see out of Tayven Jackson and Brendan Sorsby in their second games as quarterbacks.
  • Why there is pretty much a zero percent chance that Indiana loses to Indiana State. 
  • What you should know about the three 2025 men's basketball recruits who visited Indiana last weekend: five-star Jalen Haralson, four-star Malachi Moreno and four-star Darius Adams. Haralson and Adams also both attend La Lumiere School in Indiana. 
  • Most importantly — we hit on everything you need to know about the three 2024 recruits visiting Bloomington this weekend: five-star Liam McNeeley, five-star Derik Queen and four-star Curtis Givens III. 
  • With McNeeley and Queen specifically, Daniel offers up exclusive looks at their official height, weight and wingspan measurements, stats from their games on both the AAU circuit and at Montverde and scouting reports on what he's seen from both players.
