Indiana is set at QB for the future.

The Indiana Hoosiers secured the replacement for Fernando Mendoza when they landed Josh Hoover. He has committed to play for the Hoosiers and is likely to start next season.

With that decision, Indiana has found Heisman Trophy winner Fernando Mendoza‘s successor after his National Title-winning year. Mendoza is expected to enter the NFL draft and be selected by the Las Vegas Raiders.

While we’re still awaiting an official decision, Monday night’s national championship win over Miami was likely Fernando Mendoza’s final collegiate game. Hoover will finally play for the Hoosiers after committing to them out of high school, only to sign with TCU.

Josh Hoover is Expected To Make More Money

Josh Hoover threw for 3,472 yards, 29 touchdowns, and 13 interceptions while completing 65.9% of his passes in 2025. The terms of Hoover’s NIL deal were not officially disclosed; however, his projected NIL value is $2.1 million, per On3.

Pete Nakos of On3 previously reported that Hoover could land a deal for as much as $5 million.

The TCU quarterback exploded for the Horned Frogs during the 2024 season. He passed for a program record 3,949 yards with 27 touchdowns (T-4th most in a season in program history). He led TCU to a 9-4 record and a 34-3 beatdown of Louisiana in the New Mexico Bowl.

That season saw him hit the 300-yard passing mark in six games, including an impressive 402-yard, four-touchdown performance in a 35-34 loss to UCF. Many programs wanted him. Indiana now has him.

In need of a quarterback at the time, the Tennessee Volunteers reached out to grab him with a strong offer. Tennessee offered him roughly $1 million more than he made with TCU. However, Josh Hoover turned it down. With a better program calling with more money, it was hard for Josh Hoover to say no to Indiana.

Luka Doncic ‘destroys’ the Mavs on his return. Gets standing ovation and shows love to Mark Cuban

Luka Doncic hits 45 points in his first game in Dallas since being traded to the Los Angeles.

It’s rare for a home crowd to cheer the visiting team, but Luka Doncic’s return to Dallas was no ordinary night.

Just days before February’s trade deadline, the Mavericks shocked the NBA by sending their 26-year-old superstar to the Lakers—a move that outraged fans and sparked backlash toward GM Nico Harrison.

On Wednesday, Doncic played his first game back in Dallas since the trade. The arena was filled with fans in both his old Mavs and new Lakers jerseys, many chanting “Fire Nico” in protest.

Despite the emotion in the air, Doncic delivered a dominant performance, scoring a game-high 45 points to lead the Lakers to a 112-97 win. It was a powerful return for one of the league’s brightest stars—and a night Dallas won’t soon forget

The Mavericks pay tribute to Luka Dončić

While the Mavericks’ decision to trade Luka Doncic remains heavily criticized, they handled his return to Dallas with undeniable grace. The organization made sure his first game back as a Laker was met with respect and appreciation.

Every seat in the arena was draped with a T-shirt reading “Hvala za vse,” which translates from Slovenian to “thank you for everything.” It was a thoughtful nod to Doncic’s heritage and impact on the franchise.

Before tip-off, during the starting lineup announcements, the Mavericks played a tribute video showcasing some of Doncic’s most iconic moments in a Dallas jersey. The emotional gesture clearly resonated—moving Doncic to tears in front of the crowd that once called him their own.

Luka Doncic ‘DESTROYS’ his old team

Luka delivered a dazzling performance against his former team, putting up 45 points on 16-of-28 shooting, including 7-of-10 from beyond the arc. He also added 8 rebounds, 6 assists, and 4 steals in a game that showed exactly why he’s one of the best in the league.

From the opening tip, Doncic was locked in. By halftime, Doncic had racked up 31 points on 11-of-16 shooting in just 19 minutes—marking the 10th time in his career he’s scored 30 or more in a single half.

Though his scoring slowed in the second half, he continued to lead effectively, securing both a Lakers win and an unforgettable showing for the fans in Dallas.
