Indiana Basketball: Jerome Hunter getting back to full health?

Indiana basketball freshman forward Jerome Hunter continues to improve his game while making sure his health is in order.

A highly touted recruit coming into the Indiana basketball program this past year, Jerome Hunter missed the entire season with a leg injury that even put some question marks around whether or not he would play at all during his college career.

Now, Hunter continues to work hard at his game as well as health, and looks to be getting back to full strength.

He posted this video on his twitter page earlier this afternoon.

A former four-star prospect, Hunter was expected to be a big part of the Hoosiers’ success this past year, and although you can’t blame injuries for a team’s lack of success, his inability to play played a large role in Indiana’s struggles.

As a senior, Hunter averaged 20.2 points and 10.2 rebounds per game while finishing his career scoring 1,314 career points and grabbing 729 rebounds.

Announcing, officially, in January that he would redshirt the season, it continues to be a slow road to recovery, but it does seem that Hunter continues to progress and may be ready to play come November.

Winning the gold jersey in practice before his injury, which coach Archie Miller gives out to the most outstanding player in practice each week, Hunter was one of the best players on the court for the Hoosiers.

The 6-foot-7 forward still has more progress to make before he will be fully cleared for next season, but all signs show that Hunter is on that path.
