THE INDIANA HOOSIERS TURN UP THE HEAT: DREW ADAMS RETURNS TO COACHING STAFF
The Indiana Hoosiers are making waves this offseason with a major addition to their coaching staff—Drew Adams is back in Bloomington, and Hoosier Nation couldn’t be more fired up. A familiar face with deep ties to Indiana basketball, Adams returns to the program bringing energy, experience, and a reputation for elite recruiting that could shift the program’s momentum in a big way.
Adams, a former Indiana graduate and longtime basketball mind, is no stranger to the culture of the Hoosiers. He previously served on staff under multiple regimes and has built a résumé that includes impressive stints at programs like Bradley and most recently at Stanford, where he helped shape competitive teams and secure top-tier talent. His recruiting connections, especially throughout the Midwest, are expected to pay immediate dividends for Mike Woodson’s squad.
The timing of Adams’ return is pivotal. With the Big Ten undergoing major shifts due to conference realignment and NIL changing the recruiting game, Indiana is looking to reassert itself as a national power. Bringing Adams back into the fold signals a clear intention: Indiana is ready to compete at the highest level again. His track record in player development and his knack for identifying under-the-radar stars fits perfectly with the Hoosiers’ long-term vision.
What makes this reunion even more special is Adams’ Indiana roots. He understands what it means to wear the cream and crimson, and he’s proven to be a relentless worker behind the scenes. Fans can expect a more aggressive recruiting presence, smarter roster building, and a fresh edge to the coaching dynamic.
Indiana is turning up the heat—and Drew Adams might just be the spark that reignites the Hoosiers’ fire. Watch out, college basketball. Bloomington is back in business.
