Freshman Focus: CJ Gunn

A lot has changed with IU basketball since CJ Gunn announced his commitment to the program in February of 2021.

Gunn, who chose the Hoosiers over offers from Cincinnati, Kansas State, Xavier and Missouri, gave his pledge to Archie Miller near the end of Miller’s fourth season in Bloomington.

Just 36 days later, Miller was fired, leaving uncertainty for Gunn as well as Logan Duncomb, a class of 2021 recruit who had already signed his National Letter of Intent.

But like Duncomb, Gunn didn’t make any quick decisions after Miller’s dismissal.

“I’m old enough to have been fired before,” Gunn’s father, Christopher, told Inside the Hall in March of 2021.
