Happy Sunday night, Wahoos! There are just 12 days left until the Hoos tip off in Greensboro against Spartans, so it’s time to look at the player that will be donning the number 12 this season: De’Andre Hunter.

A first year out of Philadelphia, Hunter is part of the powerful incoming class. He brings height, length, and a soft shooting touch to the wing, a position that needed some support after the Hoos lost Malcolm Brogdon. Of the incoming first years, Hunter was the last to commit after a monster summer in 2015 that saw his stock rise and pushed him from a three-star to a four-star recruit.
