On Sunday, Indiana added a 13th scholarship player to its roster in Josh Newkirk, a transfer from Pittsburgh who will sit out the 2015-2016 season. The 6-foot-1 guard, a native of Raleigh, North Carolina, has two years of eligibility remaining.
The program has yet to officially announce Newkirk’s signing. But given that he must sit out a year, he joins Crown Point wing Grant Gelon as the second member of IU’s 2016 recruiting class.
So what kind of player was Newkirk last season? For some perspective, we reached out to Paul Zeise, a reporter who covers Pitt for the Post Gazette and is also a radio host on 93.
