De'Ron Davis is a survivor. He grew up in the crosshairs of the Bloods & the Crips, raised by a strict father who knew his son was destined for greater things. De'Ron became the #1 rated player in the country, only for his father to pass away. His ranking fell, but he took his high school team to back-to-back state titles and punched his ticket for Bloomington. The hardships were far from over, however, as De'Ron battled devastating injuries, frustrating seasons, the firing of Coach Crean and even the brutal end of his IU career by the Covid-19 pandemic. But he never gives up and always keeps battling, demonstrating a heart that makes all of the Hoosier faithful proud to call De'Ron one of our own.

Longtime Peegs.com writer Jeff Rabjohns joins us to discuss college sports at IU and beyond, plus a pile of other issues.

D.J. White was born & raisedin football-frenzied Alabama, but soon realized his destiny lie north, in basketball-bonkers Indiana. His IU career blasted off to an incredible start, only to be hampered by injuries and thrown into uncertainly by the firing of Mike Davis. Being the true Hoosier he was, D.J. stuck around for Kelvin Sampson & Eric Gordon, finding himself leading a team with legitimate Final Four potential. And then the roof caved in. But D.J. never gave up and never gave less than 100%, cementing his legacy as an all-time Indiana great.

Tom Allen got some good news on the recruiting trail, and we hear from Matt Weaver and Mike Pegram about IU's latest commitment.

Born & raised in hoops-crazed Philly, Bruiser Flint was a star guard in high school who went across the street to play his college ball at St. Joe's. There he realized coaching was his destiny and soon found himself at UMASS, building a juggernaut alongside John Calipari. After Cal left for the NBA Bruiser took over the program for 5 seasons, only to return home and lead Drexel for 15 years, winning CAA Coach of the Year four times.
