Hoosiers Sign Elite Recruiting Class
On Nov. 13, IU head coach Steve Aird announced the Hoosiers 2020 signing class. The class features three top-100 ranked players, the most in IU program history and three Under Armour All-Americans, also the most in program history.
"The 2020 class is exceptional and addresses many of the program's needs as we continue to build," IU head coach Steve Aird said. "We have acquired great size and skill, but most importantly we have acquired a group with exceptional character. Their resumes are solid and they received plenty of accolades and recognition, but that is not what is important to them. The group really, truly believes in where we are headed. They care about each other and they want Indiana to have massive success."

Against Iowa senior Deyshia Lofton recorded her 400th career block to become the eighth player in program history to reach that mark. Lofton has since moved into seventh in program history for career blocks and currently has 410 career blocks.
