Wylie House Tours: Garlands & Greenery 2023

By Cristina Cruz

November 15th, 2023

Pictured above, the Wylie House Garlands & Greenery Community Open House will feature 19th century seasonal splendor and live music in both the home and adjacent 1860's barn known as the Morton C. Bradley, Jr. Education Center.  Photo Credit: David Orr, IU Libraries Graphic Designer, 2022.

This article was written by Guest Journalist Barb Berggoetz and published online by IU Libraries Student Staff, Cristina Cruz.

For IU’s first president and family, December included a primarily quiet religious holiday observation spent in their 1835 home. A few decades later, the family of his cousin, an IU professor, enjoyed a more festive time with gift-giving, a Christmas tree and decorations in that same, now historic, home.

Visitors to the free Garlands & Greenery Traditions Tours at the IU Libraries Wylie House Museum will learn of holiday observances and traditions spanning the 19th century when President Andrew Wylie and wife Margaret resided there, followed by Theophilus Wylie and wife Rebecca and their families. The house, at 307 E. Second Street, is interpreted and operated by IU Libraries as a resource for classes and research. As part of its educational mission, the home will be decorated with fresh greenery, holiday décor and a Christmas tree for a few weeks in December 2023.

“We pulled information from Wylie family diaries and correspondence so that our docents can share how they described their holiday seasons,” said Carey Champion, Wylie House director. “The Wylie writings parallel the changes in American culture during the 19th century. Christmas becomes more celebratory and more about gift-giving during the Victorian era,” she added.

The event is an opportunity to highlight that time period, Champion said, as well as welcome the community to celebrate the holiday season at Wylie House and express gratitude for its support throughout the year.

The free Traditions Tours will be offered from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Dec. 6-9 and Dec. 13-16, on the hour with the last tour starting at 3 p.m. Reservations aren’t needed, but large groups should contact the museum first at [email protected] or 812-855-6224.

Livi Holdread, an IU junior studying history, is among students and volunteers leading tours throughout the two-story home, restored by IU in 1965. “I’m so excited,” she said about the tours. “I do love history and being involved hands-on with it. The Wylies are a very interesting family.”

When she was researching both Wylie families and their Christmas traditions, she found a letter, dated Dec. 24, 1881, from Hermann Boisen, husband of Louisa, the oldest daughter of Theophilus and Rebecca Wylie. In the letter, Boisen described his experiences while he was away teaching at a Boston school – pupils delivering bundles of presents to poor children and decorating a Christmas tree for birds with ears of wheat, rye and corn and bird seed, and then carrying it to a house top.

The tours will retell poignant descriptions from family members, including Theophilus Wylie, who served as IU president pro tempore for two years. In 1890, he wrote in his diary, “Christmas was a merry time with the little ones – innumerable presents engaged their attention. Dolls & candles & books . . . afforded and are still affording amusements to them.”

Garlands & Greenery replaces the Wylie by Candlelight celebrations in previous years and provides access to both the first and second floors. 

Community Open House is December 9

In addition to tours, a Community Open House , with some docents and volunteers dressed in period attire, will offer live music, including student a cappella groups, the Horseshoe Bend String Band and Dickens Carolers, refreshments, and family-friendly holiday crafts, such as making popcorn and cranberry garland. The free event will be from 1 to 4 p.m. on Saturday Dec. 9. Traditions Tours are offered this same day, every hour on the hour from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. (last tour begins at 3 p.m.).

• Prepare for Your First Year

Orientation

Set yourself up for success at iu.

Your orientation experience is an important part of learning about your new home. All undergraduates and most graduate students will participate in an orientation.

Orientation for undergraduate students

Prepare for a successful and rewarding experience at IU Bloomington with New Student Orientation (NSO) for undergraduate students.

You’ll build a community with new international and American students when you take part in a wide range of social activities. You’ll learn about IU’s incredible academic experience and register for classes when you meet with your academic advisor. And you’ll explore the wide range of resources available to you as a student.

Parents are welcome to attend parts of orientation.

When is New Student Orientation?

If you are arriving in the fall semester (August), New Student Orientation (NSO) for undergraduate students will happen online in June-July. If you are unable to attend a virtual NSO, you will be able to attend in-person just before classes start. If you are arriving in the spring semester (January), NSO will be in-person just before classes start.

The Office of First Year Experience Programs (FYE) offers an incredible virtual orientation program that will prepare you to start strong at IU. You will receive an email invitation from FYE to reserve your specific NSO dates after you submit your intent to enroll .

Once you make your NSO reservation, you will get access to a First Year Experience Canvas course that will prepare you for your academic appointment and registration.

Your reservation includes a specific date where you will meet with an academic advisor to register for classes and a student discussion group.

Remember, you need to be in Bloomington by the date on your I-20 or DS-2019.

All new students will be invited to attend a variety of social events during international welcome week, even if they attend virtual NSO in June-July or are a graduate student.

Online orientation courses for undergraduate students

You will be required to complete two different online orientation courses. After completing both of these courses, you’ll be well prepared to successfully transition to IU.

FYE orientation for all students

Learn more about IU, meet with your academic advisor, and register for classes.

OIS orientation for international students

Get details on living and studying in the U.S., immigration regulations and U.S. laws, health care and insurance, and more.

Orientation for graduate students

Graduate students will need to work with their academic department for orientation. There is no required in-person orientation program for new international graduate students. However, you will need to schedule a tuberculosis test shortly after you arrive.

Review the tuberculosis test requirement

You are also invited to participate in all social activities, and we even have a special event just for new international graduate students.

Online orientation courses for graduate students

Before you arrive in Bloomington, we will send you an email invitation to start the Graduate International Orientation course in Canvas, which is separate from any online orientation your department may have. This Canvas course is required for all new international graduate students, and includes important information about staying in status, resources, and how to get around Bloomington, among other things.

You department may have other requirements for you to complete before you arrive. Contact your department for more details.

Undergraduates and graduates: after you arrive in the United States

We are so excited to meet you in Bloomington! We have many wonderful activities planned before classes begin. We’ll introduce you to one of the most beautiful campuses in the United States, highlight student resources (including some specifically for international students), provide networking opportunities, and allow you to find your community.

Bloomington and IU are great places to live and study, and we think you’ll love your new home.

Don’t forget these important tasks

In the midst of the excitement of meeting new people and building friendships that will last a lifetime, you’ll need to remember to complete two important tasks as soon as possible after you arrive in the United States.

Upload immigration documents

It is very important that you complete the Immigration Review section of your Atlas checklist as soon as you arrive in the U.S. (This section can only be completed after you have entered the U.S.).

We will not be able to remove the A19 registration hold on your record until you complete this step and we’ve reviewed the information you provide.

You’ll need to provide the following items:

• Your passport
• Your visa stamp
• Your I-94 card
• All original I-20s or DS-2019s (bring documents from any previous U.S. schools, if applicable)

Submit final, official copies of your academic records

You need to submit final, official copies of your academic records and degree certificates or diplomas (these all must bear the stamp or seal of the issuing institution) within the first four weeks of your first semester. You will not be able to register for your second semester classes until you do so.

You are not required to bring your final academic records if your school intends to send them to our office.

My Fair Lady

Tuesday & Wednesday

October 25 & 26

From Lincoln Center Theater that brought you The King & I and South Pacific , comes “a sumptuous new production of the most perfect musical of all time” ( Entertainment Weekly ), Lerner & Loewe’s My Fair Lady , returning to Bloomington for the first time in over 20 years.

Director Bartlett Sher’s glowing production is “thrilling, glorious, and better than it ever was” ( New York Times ). “Every so often a revival comes along that reminds you how indispensable great theatre can be” ( NY1 ).

Boasting such classic songs as “I Could Have Danced All Night,” “The Rain in Spain,” “Wouldn’t It Be Loverly,” and “On the Street Where You Live,” My Fair Lady tells the story of Eliza Doolittle, a young Cockney flower seller, and Henry Higgins, a linguistics professor who is determined to transform her into his idea of a “proper lady.” But who is really being transformed?

Dennis James Hosts Halloween

Bloomington’s favorite musical mastermind, Dennis James, returns with a brand-new spin on his annual spooky spectacular.

This year, James will provide the soundtrack on IU Auditorium’s 4,543 pipe organ behind a live reenactment of the original 1940 radio drama Inner Sanctum featuring Bach’s Fugue in C Minor . Students from IU’s Department of Theatre, Drama, and Contemporary Dance will take the IU Auditorium stage to act out the suspenseful radio drama. This will be the first time live actors have ever been a part of Dennis James Hosts Halloween in his over 50 years of performing at the Auditorium.

James will still present a traditional silent film with live accompaniment in act two of his performance with the 1927 thriller titled The Unknown . This special family-friendly Halloween tradition is sure to be a treat!

Chimes of Christmas

The holiday tradition continues with the jolliest family-friendly event of the season, Chimes of Christmas. The Grammy-nominated Singing Hoosiers return to the IU Auditorium stage for their annual concert, presenting a mix of well-known carols, contemporary hits, and classical choral arrangements. The performances will also feature special guests from various Jacobs School of Music ensembles.

Directed by Dr. Chris Albanese, The Singing Hoosiers are a Bloomington favorite with over 70 years of tradition in contemporary vocal performance. They have entertained audiences across the United States and in more than 25 countries spanning Asia, Australia, Europe, and the Caribbean. The ensemble has enjoyed collaborations with Duke Ellington, Bob Hope, Mel Tormé, Sandi Patty, Sylvia McNair, the Indianapolis Symphony, and the Cincinnati Pops under the direction of Erich Kunzel.

Don’t miss out on what has become one of Bloomington’s longest-running traditions as the Singing Hoosiers and their guests come together to make your holidays merry and bright!

Straight No Chaser

You’ve followed their rise to fame since their formation at Indiana University. Now, see a cappella sensation Straight No Chaser return home to IU Auditorium as part of their 25th Anniversary Celebration tour, bringing a live show packed with pop favorites, holiday favorites, and some laughs along the way.

Since their start at IU, Straight No Chaser has emerged as a phenomenon with a massive fanbase and a long list of accomplishments, including two RIAA Gold Certified albums, and over 1.5 million concert tickets sold, one billion streams, and two million albums sold worldwide. They are the real deal, making extraordinary music that is moving people in a fundamental sense ... with a sense of humor.

Jazz at Lincoln Center Presents: Songs We Love

February 20

Jazz at Lincoln Center (JALC) Presents Songs We Love live in Bloomington this February. Songs We Love was the 2016 season opener for Jazz at Lincoln Center. The evening of music is a journey through the first 50 years of jazz under the musical direction of Riley Mulherkar with three vocalists and an all-star band made up of New York’s rising stars.

Combining their distinct talents, the group will sing through four decades of music, beginning with the early blues and jazz of the 1920s and ending in the early 1950s. Iconic singers highlighted during the performance include Ma Rainey, Billie Holiday, Ella Fitzgerald, Frank Sinatra, and Judy Garland.

Black Violin

February 25

Black Violin, led by classically trained string players Wil B. (viola) and Kev Marcus (violin), will bring their high-energy, genre-bending act to Bloomington this February. Joined onstage by DJ SPS and drummer Nat Stokes, the band uses their unique blend of classical and hip-hop music to overcome stereotypes while encouraging people of all ages, races, and economic backgrounds to join together to break down cultural barriers. In the past year, the band has performed for over 100,000 students in the United States and Europe, and has partnered with Yamaha and NAMM (National Association of Music Manufactures) to continue supporting music education.

Black Violin, alongside artists such as Yo-Yo Ma and Elton John, recently joined with Turnaround Arts to bring arts education to struggling schools in underserved communities. Turnaround Arts is a program of the John F. Kennedy Center for Performing Arts founded by President Obama’s Committee on the Arts and the Humanities in 2012. They have been featured on The Tonight Show, Ellen, The Wendy Williams Show, NPR , and more. The group has collaborated creatively with artists such as Kanye West, Aerosmith, Tom Petty, Wu-Tang Clan, Wyclef Jean, and Alicia Keys.

Black Violin’s studio album Take the Stairs , released in 2019, debuted at #1 on the Billboard Classical Chart, #1 on the Billboard Classical Crossover Chart, #7 on Billboard’s Top New Artists Chart, and #9 on the Billboard Hip Hop and R&B Chart. Their last album, Stereotypes , hit #1 on Billboard’s Classical Crossover chart and #4 on Billboard’s R&B Chart.

Ballet Hispánico

The nation’s renowned Latinx dance organization and considered one of America’s cultural treasures, Ballet Hispánico will perform their first full-length narrative ballet: Doña Perón.

Choreographed by Annabelle Lopez Ochoa, Doña Perón is an explosive portrait of Eva “Evita” Perón, one of the most recognizable, and controversial, women in Argentinian history. The illegitimate daughter of a wealthy landowner, Evita concealed this shameful past as she rose the ranks from dancehall performer to Argentina’s First Lady—all before her untimely death at the age of 33. Doña Perón brings to light the extremes of power at the forefront of Evita’s life. Her work as an activist and advocate for Argentina’s women and working class raised skepticism as she indulged in the opulence of a high-class life. A voice for the people, or a deceitful actress? Ochoa explores these diverging legacies and more in her first-ever evening-length work for Ballet Hispánico.

For 50 years, Ballet Hispánico has been the leading voice intersecting artistic excellence and advocacy, and is now the largest Latinx cultural organization in the United States. Ballet Hispánico brings communities together to celebrate and explore Latino cultures through innovative dance productions, transformative dance training, and enduring community engagement experiences.

March 7 & 8

After 25 years, Chicago is still the one musical with everything that makes Broadway shimmy-shake—a universal tale of fame, fortune, and all that jazz, with one show-stopping song after another and the most astonishing dancing you have ever seen.

It’s no wonder Chicago has been honored with six Tony Awards, two Olivier Awards, a Grammy, and thousands of standing ovations. As the show celebrates its 25th anniversary, you have got to see why the name on everyone’s lips is still ... Chicago.

Jagged Little Pill

Monday & Tuesday

April 3 & 4

Some shows you see. This show you feel.

Joy, love, heartache, strength, wisdom, catharsis, LIFE—everything we’ve been waiting to see in a Broadway show—is here in this exhilarating, fearless new musical based on Alanis Morissette’s world-changing music.

Directed by Tony Award winner Diane Paulus ( Waitress, Pippin , upcoming 1776 ) with a Tony-winning book by Diablo Cody ( Juno ), and Grammy-winning score, this electrifying production about a perfectly imperfect American family “vaults the audience to its collective feet” ( The Guardian ). “Redemptive, rousing and real, Jagged Little Pill stands alongside the original musicals that have sustained the best hopes of Broadway” ( The New York Times ).

You live, you learn, you remember what it’s like to feel truly human ... at Jagged Little Pill.

April 11 & 12

Holding onto hope when times are tough can take an awful lot of determination, and sometimes, an awful lot of determination comes in a surprisingly small package. Little Orphan Annie has reminded generations of theatergoers that sunshine is always right around the corner, and now the best-loved musical of all time is set to return to Bloomington in a new production—just as you remember it and just when we need it most.

Annie , directed by Jenn Thompson, features the iconic book and score, written by Tony Award-winners Thomas Meehan, Charles Strouse, and Martin Charnin. This celebration of family, optimism, and the American spirit remains the ultimate cure for all the hard knocks life throws your way.

Join us as world-renowned pianist Emanuel Ax comes to Bloomington for an evening of magnificent music. Mr. Ax holds honorary doctorates of music from Skidmore College, New England Conservatory of Music, Yale University, and Columbia University, is a Fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, and has been a Sony Classical exclusive recording artist since 1987. His most recent release, Brahms Trios , was with Yo-Yo Ma and Leonidas Kavakos.

He received Grammy Awards for the second and third volumes of his cycle of Haydn’s piano sonatas. He has also made a series of Grammy-winning recordings of the Beethoven and Brahms sonatas for cello and piano with cellist Yo-Yo Ma. In 2005, Mr. Ax contributed to an International Emmy Award-Winning BBC documentary commemorating the Holocaust that aired on the 60th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz. In 2013, Mr. Ax’s recording Variations received the Echo Klassik Award for Solo Recording of the Year.

Don’t miss this moving performance as Mr. Ax will fill our theatre with a full evening of spectacular music.

LETTER FROM THE EDITORS: IU won’t support student media. The IDS will be walking out.

We write to you today about an urgent and pressing matter, a letter we hoped to never write. 

The Indiana Daily Student, along with IU Student Television and WIUX, is under threat by our own university administration. This is not the first time an editor has written a letter about the IDS’ finances, but we believe the severity of the threats against student media warrant immediate action. 

On Thursday, April 25, the IDS will stage a one-day walkout. We will not publish content on our website, and IDS staffers will not enter the newsroom. Our goal is to provide the community and the university a glimpse of a possible future without the IDS as it exists today — a future we are fighting to avoid.  

The IDS’ financial struggle has been a death by a thousand cuts. Over the years, the IDS has been forced to decrease professional staff, reduce the number of papers printed weekly and abandon opportunities to make money. And every cut has hurt the IDS, eliminating learning opportunities and hindering our ability to serve the public through our reporting. 

There is nothing left to cut without substantially changing the IDS. Lack of university support and funding has also stifled IUSTV and WIUX, who are fighting the same battle we are. 

This semester, a new IU Media School committee aimed to find solutions for student media’s financial issues, including the IDS, IUSTV and WIUX. While we wholeheartedly support the committee, recent discussions have led us to believe the university is not interested in reinvesting in student media, as the committee recommends, and does not have the best interest of student media in mind.

It appears administrators see student media — like the rest of the university — as a business, rather than a learning lab that provides students invaluable experience and produces vital news coverage for Southern Indiana, whose contribution to the university and community can’t be captured by a budget line. 

Our awards and plaques line the walls of the newsroom, shown off during tours for prospective students. Our century and a half of nationally-recognized work and our successful alumni are used as a recruiting tool to exemplify what Media School students can accomplish. If IU prides itself on its student media organizations and uses them as talking points, why won’t it properly invest in them?

Unless we take action, we could lose valued professional staff, the print paper, student pay or other valuable pieces that make the IDS thrive. We cannot produce investigations holding powerful people to account, write local features on issues Bloomington residents care about or be capable of producing the awards that this university touts as shining, tangible outcomes for its prospective students without adequate investment.

Ultimately, this becomes a press freedom issue.

As every news organization pledges to do, we strive to serve our community through our work, not by making the headlines ourselves. However, given the trajectory of discussions with university officials and the paper’s future in question, we cannot remain silent.

We do not know the exact timeline for this decision, but we know it’s soon and we’re running out of time. For years, the IU administration — now under President Pamela Whitten and Provost Rahul Shrivastav — has failed to adequately support student media, regardless of which administration occupies Bryan Hall. This issue predates the current administration, but we’ve reached the breaking point now. 

We have anticipated the question of “why write now before the university makes a final decision?” The truth is we fear we won’t recover from that decision.

How did we get here?

Student media’s financial future has been on the table for years, kicked down the line by stalled discussions and administrators who have yet to accept any of Director of Student Media Jim Rodenbush’s proposed solutions.

It’s important to know that while the IDS is editorially independent — meaning the university doesn’t control or influence what we publish — financial decisions are not entirely within our control due to our auxiliary status. Applying for fundraising or grants, for example, requires university approval. Any funding model we propose, and the same goes for IUSTV and WIUX, must also be approved by IU’s administration.

Additionally, in our current funding model, the IDS receives zero dedicated annual financial support from the university. According to a report from the Brechner Center for the Advancement of the First Amendment, over 50% of surveyed student media outlets received some form of financial assistance from their universities.

The IDS generates all of our own revenue predominantly from donations and advertising. We do make around $600,000 a fiscal year, but for several years now, we have been running a deficit, and we aren’t the first editors-in-chief to write about it.

On Jan. 7, 2021, former editors-in-chief Caroline Anders and Emily Issacman published a letter explaining the IDS was running out of money. After the letter ran, the Media School and the Office of the Provost agreed to let the IDS run a deficit under the Media School for a period of three years. Our deficit has continued to pile up with no financial plan in place, reaching approximately $900,000.

On Feb. 23, 2023, former editor-in-chief Helen Rummel provided another sobering update more than halfway through this three-year period. She wrote how, despite the looming deficit deadline, no decisions had been reached and the IDS’ financial situation continued to remain up in the air.

Now, here we are in the spring semester of 2024, and we still aren’t sure what our financial future looks like, even as the three-year deficit period is scheduled to end June 30, 2024.

At the beginning of this semester, we were more optimistic about the future with the introduction of an IU Media School committee to create a funding solution for IU student media outlets including IDS, WIUX and IUSTV. This committee, as explained in a news story the IDS published April 1 , was working on producing a report that would be presented to Media School Dean David Tolchinsky and then pitched to IU administration.

The committee, made up of Media School faculty, alumni and the student leaders of the IDS, IUSTV and WIUX, has worked expeditiously to create a tangible and realistic plan, one that serves to benefit all of IU student media. The entirety of the committee supports the report’s recommendations — which at its core advocates for consolidation of student media under one umbrella, financial investment from the university and removal of university red tape hindering revenue generation.

Despite this encouraging report which advocates for a sustainable model for the future, budget cuts appear to remain on the table despite our plea against them. From conversations that were on-the-record, we were continually told that we should be prepared for a harsh reality about our financial future.

That’s an insulting and disrespectful refrain. The IDS has for more than a decade proposed legitimate paths forward, spanning from restructuring to the establishment of non-profit models, to begin tackling a spiraling financial situation. Each time a proposal reaches the table of university leadership, it is rejected, pushed back upon or goes unacknowledged without serious, detailed discussion about why our proposals are not satisfactory.

As proposals and solutions die, our newsroom gets smaller.

In 2008, the IDS had 11 professional staffers. Now, it has five. Even as we reduce the number of staff members, the jobs and responsibilities of former members remain. Over time, the five staff members have taken on the additional work with no added compensation. With such a reduced staff, there is not enough time in a work day to reach the IDS, WIUX and IUSTV’s potential.

Our print production was also cut from five days a week to two in 2017. Now, we publish just once a week.

The IDS has seen enough cuts and watched too many valued pieces of our newsroom fall away.

Where do we go from here?

To deter the university from further harming student media, the IDS is planning a walkout on Thursday, April 25. The walkout will entail a strict 24-hour period where no stories will be published on our website, idsnews.com. In addition, our editorial staff will not be coming into the newsroom on April 25. At midnight on Friday, April 26, we will release all the stories we would have published Thursday, a testament to what IDS readers could miss out on if the university continues to pursue budgetary cuts. In the case of any urgent breaking news, we will post on the IDS’ social media pages.

Otherwise, the only content you will receive from the IDS on April 25 is the print paper and our daily newsletter, which you will notice will look different than normal.

Our goal is to preserve the future of the IDS and all other student media. We love this newsroom and everything it stands for, and we do not want to see that change.

What we ask of you, our readers, is to voice your support for all of IU student media and to demand an end to administrative ignorance and disrespect. Send emails or letters to IU administration demanding proper investment in our media organizations and sharing what student media means to you.

We regret that the walkout will have an impact on you and prevent us from delivering you the news for one day. However, we fear the impact will be much greater if we do not act now. We hesitate to focus the story on ourselves, but the IDS may not continue to exist as it has for the past 157 years without taking any action.

We hope this letter and the walkout will allow us to continue serving you for many years to come.

As always, thank you for reading.

Before publication of this letter, the IDS reached out to the IU administration for comment. We were then directed to a statement from IU Media School Dean David Tolchinsky, which we have provided below:

“Student media is a cornerstone of a Media School education. Its success is critical to our school’s success. We value it not only as a learning lab, but as a tool to recruit the highest-quality students, a connection to a passionate alumni base, and a resource for social good and democracy. Media School leadership and IU leadership want to ensure the long-term success and sustainability of all student media, particularly the IDS. This spring, I convened a Student Media Committee which included faculty as well as student leaders from the IDS, IUSTV, and WIUX. This group has brought forth innovative ideas, on which we aim to build to ensure a future of success and impact for student practitioners, faculty, alumni, our local communities, industry partners, and the university as a whole."

Indiana announces addition of Bryson Tucker for 2024-25 season

• 04/18/2024 10:29 am in

Indiana officially announced the addition of Bryson Tucker for the 2024-25 season earlier today.

Tucker committed to the Hoosiers on March 28 .

Here’s the full release from IU media relations:

BLOOMINGTON, Ind. – IU head coach Mike Woodson announced the addition of 2024 McDonald’s All-American Bryson Tucker to the Indiana men’s basketball program on Thursday.

Bryson Tucker Forward | 6-6 | 180 Baltimore, Md. | Bishop O’Connell No. 17 on ESPN | No. 20 on Rivals | No. 28 on 247Sports

Tucker is a consensus top-30 nationally ranked recruit with five-star designations from both ESPN and Rivals. The Baltimore, Md., native was selected to the 2024 McDonald’s All-America Game. He helped lead USA Basketball to a gold medal in the 2021 FIBA Americas Championship and averaged 9.5 points and 4.3 rebounds per game in the tournament. He also posted 11.0 points and 4.3 rebounds in the 2023 Chick-Fil-A Classic. He attended the NBPA Top 100 Camp in 2022 and ’23, Stephen Curry’s Camp in 2022 and ’23, the 2022 Under Armour Elite 24 Camp in 2022 and ’23, and Jayson Tatum’s Elite Camp in 2023.

Tucker was named honorable mention to the 2024 Naismith Trophy High School All-America Team. This season marks the fourth-straight season in which Indiana received a commitment from a player represented on a Naismith Trophy All America Team. Tamar Bates (2021) and Kel’el Ware (2022) were both honorable mentions, while Jalen Hood-Schifino (2022) and Mackenzie Mgbako (2023) each claimed third-team nods.

He is the son of Byron and Tina Tucker. His father, Byron, compiled 1,033 points, 595 rebounds, and 98 blocks in 66 career games while playing collegiately for NC State and George Mason from 1988-92.

WOODSON ON TUCKER

“Bryson has a chance to be impactful for our ballclub right away. He has a polished offensive game with the size and strength to get to his spots on the floor. His midrange game is very impressive, and he has the athleticism to get to and score efficiently at the rim. He is a talented young man that we cannot wait to work with when he gets to campus.”

Men’s Basketball signs Julian Larry

Larry has played in 130 career games (108 starts) during the last four seasons at Indiana State.

AUSTIN, Texas — Julian Larry has signed an Athletic Scholarship Agreement (ASA) to play basketball next season at The University of Texas, head coach Rodney Terry announced Wednesday. Larry, who spent the last four seasons at Indiana State University, will join the Longhorns for the upcoming 2024-25 season.

Larry (6-3, 185), a guard from Frisco, Texas, has played in 130 career games (108 starts) and registered 953 points (7.3 ppg), 406 assists (3.1 apg), 381 rebounds (2.9 rpg) and 168 steals (1.3 spg) in 3,659 minutes (28.1 mpg) over the last four seasons at Indiana State. He has converted 50.0-percent (334-668) from the floor, including a 40.3-percent (79-196) mark from three-point range, and 78.0-percent (206-264) from the free throw line while sporting a 1.94 assist-to-turnover ratio (406 assists, 209 turnovers) during his first four collegiate seasons. Larry helped lead the Sycamores to 81 total wins during his four years, including a 55-20 (.733) mark over the last two seasons.

During his senior season in 2023-24, Larry played in all 39 games (38 starts) and led the team in assists (188, 4.8 apg), steals (59, 1.5 spg) and minutes (34.4 mpg) while ranking fifth in scoring (11.0 ppg). He converted 52.5-percent (146-278) from the floor, including a team-best 46.2-percent (42-91) from three-point range, and 78.0-percent (96-123) from the free throw line while posting an impressive 2.35 assist-to-turnover ratio (188 assists, 80 turnovers) on the year. Larry earned third-team All-MVC and MVC All-Defensive Team recognition while helping Indiana State register a 32-7 overall record (17-3 Missouri Valley Conference) and advance to the NIT Championship game. He reached double figures in scoring in 25 of his 39 games, including a season-high 20 points against Illinois State (Feb. 13). Larry posted a collegiate career-high 10 assists against just two turnovers while adding 15 points against UIC (Feb. 24). In the NIT Championship game against Seton Hall (April 4), he tallied 18 points (7-13 FG, 4-6 threes) and six assists in 38 minutes.

As a junior in 2022-23, Larry played in all 36 games (22 starts) and guided the Sycamores to a 23-13 overall record (13-7 MVC). An MVC All-Defensive Team selection, he ranked second on the team in assists (119, 3.3 apg) and steals (45, 1.3 spg) and averaged 7.0 ppg while converting a team-best 59.2-percent (93-157) from the floor, including a 46.4-percent (13-28) mark from three-point range, and 81.8-percent (54-66) from the free throw line on the year. Larry recorded a collegiate career-high 21 points (8-8 FG) against Evansville (Dec. 29). He also earned MVC Player of the Week recognition on Jan. 10.

During his sophomore season in 2021-22, Larry played in 30 of a possible 31 games (27 starts) and averaged 5.7 points, 3.9 rebounds, 2.0 assists and 1.2 steals in 29.6 minutes per contest while converting 81.6-percent (31-38) from the free throw line.

Wemby Reportedly Declined Drake's Offer to Come Onstage Since His Teammates Couldn't Join

The Spurs rookie evidently turned down the invitation for a selfless reason.

View this video on YouTube

Victor Wembanyama  is a true class act. 

The  San Antonio Spurs  power forward has established himself as a strong contender for Rookie of the Year, as he ended the 2023-24 season with an average of 21.4 points, 10.6 rebounds, and 3.9 assists. His performance on the court has also led to lucrative endorsement deals with brands like Nike, Fanatics, Barcode, and Louis Vuitton. But despite his steady stream of W's throughout the past year, the French-born athlete has maintained an admirable level of humility and loyalty to his teammates—so much so that he reportedly declined  Drake ’s invitation to join him onstage.

Former NBA player  JJ Redick  shared the information during a recent appearance on the  7PM in Brooklyn  podcast hosted by NBA legend Carmelo Anthony and comedian The Kid Mero. At around the 39:40-minute mark, Redick discussed Wemby’s rookie season and praised his ability to embrace all the “hype” without inflating his ego. He underscored his position with an anecdote he heard in 2023, shortly after Wemby and his Spurs teammates attended an It's All a Blur tour stop in Texas.

“There was a Drake concert in Austin and [Wembanyama] got asked to come up onstage 'cause Drake was doing that with a bunch of NBA guys this offseason,” Redick recalled. “And Wemby was like, ‘Can my teammates come up onstage with me? 'Cause they are going to be at the concert with me.' And Drake’s camp was like, 'No.' And [Wemby’s] like, ‘Then I don’t want to do it.’ What 19-year-old kid doesn’t want to go up onstage with Drake?”

Drake was in Austin back in September for a two-night stint at the Moody Center. Several weeks after the event, Wemby took to Instagram to share a series of photos he had taken before his NBA debut; one of those snaps showed him posing next to the OVO boss.

Redick went on to describe Wembanyama as a “low-maintenance” star, similar to Steph Curry and Tim Duncan. 

“There’s been anomalies for star players in that they have been low maintenance,” he said. “I would describe myself as somewhat low maintenance. There’s Steph and there’s, like, Tim Duncan. Wemby is one of them. That, to me, is as impressive as anything he does on the court.”
