Hoosier98 Posted December 19, 2018 Report Share Posted December 19, 2018 I was watching the B1G tip off show and saw Jerome shooting with Damezi and Rob. Good to see him on the court! It looked like he had either a brace or a sleeve on his right leg. Shot looked good and he was moving around pretty well. Hope he gets back this year!!

dbmhoosier Posted December 19, 2018 Report Share Posted December 19, 2018 I thought CoachSS said he was redshirting. Is that unofficial? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoosier98 Posted December 19, 2018 Author Report Share Posted December 19, 2018 I’m not sure but I don’t think they apply for red shirts until after the season. I would think if he could get back and play and be some help, Coach would play him. I doubt he is staying in Bloomington for 5 years anyway.

dgambill Posted December 20, 2018 Report Share Posted December 20, 2018 Jerome had a nice stroke in high school. He even wasn’t a bad 3pt shooter. I could really see him in the short corner knocking those shots down...and when guys help off on drivers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FKIM01 Posted December 20, 2018 Report Share Posted December 20, 2018 I'd bet on a redshirt. Glad he's moving and shooting but I don't see him playing this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IUwins0708 Posted December 20, 2018 Report Share Posted December 20, 2018 I don’t think it’s been official yet. I’ve heard he was coming back in January but he had a minor set back and it scared the medical staff a bit. They are being (and rightfully so) very protective of him. He’s an NBA player, he’d be starting on this team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lizard Posted January 13, 2019 Report Share Posted January 13, 2019 Seeing as we have only this year with Romeo and Juwan: if Hunter can go and wants to burn the eligibility to make a run in March... you let him play. That is a big if and wishful thinking, of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BobSaccamanno Posted January 14, 2019 Report Share Posted January 14, 2019 Man, before the season I was sooooooo looking forward to Romeo and Jerome on the wings together at the same time. That was a big driver of my preseason optimism. We lack a little juice as it is now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once we had one of our insiders say (back in September I believe) how good he looked I can definitely say I was in the same category. Given what's happened just happy to see him back on the court.

dwtaylor1055 Posted January 14, 2019 Report Share Posted January 14, 2019 Really good to see Jerome shooting and on the court. I am excited to see this kid play whether that somehow is towards the end of Big ten conference play and the big dance for this season or for the 2019-2020 season.

Indykev Posted January 14, 2019 Report Share Posted January 14, 2019 Talked with DeRon this morning,,who is in a boot but will play tonight. DeRon said J.Hunter is practicing a little bit but will probably red shirt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When an elite player says it, more often than not, that carries extra weight with me (because they have high standards and see the floor from an expert’s point of view).

Not looking good to just a fan, but also to Coach Miller, as Coach awarded Jerome with the Gold Jersey, in week four of practice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He wants to know why you always have binoculars hanging from your neck and feels that you are stalking him. Good info seriously. Jerome is an interesting one, to say the least. If he gets into game shape, and that is a big IF. To be honest, it might be the most unique situation I have ever witnessed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Indy1987 Posted January 14, 2019 Report Share Posted January 14, 2019 I'm guessing it's a long shot for him to come back yet this season. But if he progresses fast who knows. Muscle memory is an amazing thing. No he won't be 100% by any means but a spark off the bench for a few minutes a game... Go Hoosiers!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoosierhoopster Posted January 14, 2019 Report Share Posted January 14, 2019 The silver lining on his anticipated redshirt is that we'll have a very good player and shooter returning next season, a year older and with the growth that comes with being with the team and practicing and weight training, to go with the strong class of incoming guys and the other returning players. I expect Romeo to go pro, but with Hunter, that's a big help to bridge the gap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
