With the start of college basketball season on the horizon, we’re taking a long look at the conference at large as well as Indiana’s roster this month. Today, we continue our look at Indiana’s roster with Josh Newkirk.
Redshirt junior Josh Newkirk is the only true point guard on IU’s roster for the 2016-17 season.
Newkirk sat out last season due as a transfer from Pittsburgh. After making a full recovery from microfracture surgery, the 6-foot-1 guard has positioned himself to be an important piece of the IU guard rotation. IU recruited Newkirk during his high school years, but backed off after receiving a commitment from Stanford Robinson.
