DIPRIMIO: No Limits – Jerome Hunter Aims for Big Hoosier Role


IUHoosiers.com

BLOOMINGTON, Ind. -- The real Jerome Hunter is about to make his Indiana University basketball debut.

Brace yourself.

Forget last year's test-the-waters run. This now fully healthy sophomore swingman, steeled by Big Ten battles and off-season development, offers intriguing upside to a team that, despite missing out on top-25 preseason ranking status, looms as a Big Ten title contender, and beyond.

Hunter is a 6-7, 215-pound multi-dimensional weapon -- once rated among America's top high school recruits -- who is recovered from a serious leg condition that cost him his first season (generating concern he might never return to elite status) and limited him to last year's auxiliary role.
