We are here!...And EXCITED about it!!! Everytime we come here it solidifies that IU was the right choice! As a mom dealing with sending her first baby far from home for the first time...that is such a GREAT feeling!!!
Assembly Hall did not disappoint! The guys did great! The energy was incredible! What an experience! To think, not too long from now, my baby will part of that legacy...WOW!!

My son
@jakai_newton
continues to be a young man that I'm proud of & that amazes me in every way! He's resilient, charitable, hardworking, loving, honorable& focused, on top of being multitalented. I'm excited to see how he'll contribute to the IU legacy! All I can say-stay tuned
Listen son, you have already blessed us with more than we could have dreamed by just being you! Keep building! Keep being focused on being the best version of you you envision for yourself! That's all we want for you! Love you

This video is proof that basketball players who follow a strategic strength training program through high-school can come to college physically prepared to compete.
Freshman
@CuppsGabe
did 17 reps on the 185 pound bench press (pre-test) at a bodyweight of 170 pounds.
Jakai Newton, an Indiana commit, is at the heart of what makes this team special.
In many ways he is the fuel that makes this engine burn so hotly.
