Race Thompson remembered two plays. During a Zoom media availability about a month ago, Thompson was asked to recall a particular move that freshman forward Malik Reneau made. Thompson came up with two.
Thompson said that Reneau hit a little shimmy, one-foot fadeaway. “Kinda turned my head a little bit,” Thompson said. Thompson recalled another. Reneau did a euro-step on two people.
These brief insights from Reneau’s time at IU could get the wheels turning about what the 2022-23 season could look like for the freshman forward. Reneau — ranked as the No. 28 player nationally in the 2022 class, according to the 247Sports Composite — had an accomplished high school career.
