Indiana Football recruiting continues to build momentum under Curt Cignetti, and the Hoosiers may have a hidden advantage heading into the 2026 season.

Jacob Goins joins TJ Pittinger to discuss Indiana's recent recruiting success, the pursuit of elite prospects including 5-star in-state recruit Monshun Sales, and why Indiana's recruiting strategy continues to work despite criticism of class rankings.

Plus, Jacob explains why Indiana's defensive line depth could become one of the biggest advantages in college football and how Bryant Haines defense is positioned for another dominant season.

Later, Indiana Basketball announces a major preseason exhibition matchup against North Carolina at Gainbridge Fieldhouse as Darian DeVries prepares his team for Year 2 in Bloomington.
