We don't know when he will be good to go, but let's say it's in the next month for sake of conversation; do you not think he could help us at the 2 or 3 even if just for 15 minutes per game? What if that's the difference in winning the conference or making an Elite 8? I feel like that COULD be the type of margins we are playing with, assuming he is healthy.

I don’t think we get more than 3 years out of him before he goes pro regardless. So if he can help us later in the year I say play him. He has a skill set not sure anyone on the team has. I've only seen random highlight clips of Hunter's games, so I know very little about his skill set. I know even less about how long he will be a Hoosier. With that said I just hope for the best possible outcome for him and the team. If that means redshirting him this year, I have no problem with that. If he can come back and be a real difference maker this year, so much the better. Good news is, I trust the current staff to make the right decision.

Good news is, I trust the current staff to make the right decision. Agreed I trust the staff. He is good enough to start for us. He won the gold jersey in practice right before they discovered his leg injury. That said sitting out so long it would be hard for him to get back into game shape so I imagine he would have a bench role if he did come back but he is so athletic and has a pretty refined game no doubt he could help us. Whatever happens I just hope he gets healthy and back to the court soon! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I completely agree with this train of thought. But the kicker is....Does Archie think he has enough in the arsenal without Jerome? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought that was what was just reported and now there's all this talk and speculation about whether or not he should. Sounds like it's a done deal I wish him well and hope he comes back and dominates next year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoosierhoopster Posted December 23, 2018 Report Share Posted December 23, 2018 I disagree. He is a long, long way from being in game shape. The surgery and his condition were serious. We’re already 11 games into the season. The team is making decisions based on what’s best for him. No reason to rush him back or play him late in the season with the idea he’ll leave after 3 anyway. When he comes back he’ll be 100 percent and ready for a full season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he’s able let him work on shooting and ball handling but at this point just hope he’s ready to go next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FW_Hoosier Posted January 2, 2019 Report Share Posted January 2, 2019 What is going on with these concussions? Phinisee barely gets tapped on the head, and now he’s out for two weeks and maybe longer? Ridiculous. I’m starting to suspect that the situation with Kevin Wilson has something to do with this.

If RP cant go I really hope he has to fight like crazy to try and win back his starting position. If that's the case that means good Devonte has shown up.

thirdgenhoosier Posted January 2, 2019 Report Share Posted January 2, 2019 Was just shown a Tweet (so can’t link) that Rob is out for the foreseeable future and has not practiced yet. The Tweet was from Mike Miller at the Herald Times I think. Darn it. Sorry...just saw the same info on the Illinois game thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
