Twitter account is certainly credible. Brockway writes for the same papers Hutchens did and replaced him.

Not sure if IU is telling the truth but reporter and this account legit and credible.

This was online from a gentlemen who said he was at the event tonight and Archie’s response on Jerome

I believe that's from the new Bloomington Herald Times reporter.

I guess I don't get the 'he's cleared, obviously, to do everything can do with us'.   Some are reading into that saying that he is cleared for all basketball activities.....I don't really read it that way.

He has been cleared to do everything but play games. Drills, workouts, and open gym scrimmages he is cleared for. Gut feeling is that is because there aren’t any games for a couple months and it’s the doctors way of saying he is working up to game shape.

From everything I’ve seen and read, it seems it will be a “do what you can” and then he’ll be closely monitored. I don’t think he’s “in the clear” just yet. It’ll all depend on how his body responds to different situations.

It's pretty clear Archie intends to be careful with Hunter and to bring him along slowly. His playing time will be limited at first. He definitely won't be starting at the beginning of the year.

That's how I suspect it play out as well.  Hunter will get more PT as the doctors and trainers allow (info we may never be privy to).

I dong care if he only plays 10 minutes a game. We will take what we can get. He’d come in and hit a few shots.

Don't you wish autocorrect also caught those darn Freudian slips?

If he has been running pickup games throughout the summer, I bet that he is farther along than what we may be told. Maybe CAM is tempering expectations somewhat. He knows that the fanbase was expecting big things from Hunter.

Hopefully in these games he hasn't been wearing a red (don't hit me) QB jersey.

I think the biggest risk is that the condition returns so hopefully that is the reason for the caution.

I’m not gonna be expecting any other update on him until the season is here. Just no reason to announce him ready to go and he has some type of unlucky sit back

My COMPLETELY uninformed guess is that he is ready. Of course they'll bring him along slowly, but the kid wants to play and the doctors have already said he's cleared to run in "pickup games", which I read as scrimmages.  If a kid can scrimmage, then why couldn't he play?

The big question is whether he's ready to play at the level everyone has expected from him when he came to Bloomington.  I think that will be more on his mental state than anything, based on the fact he is cleared to play pickup.  

Again, though, I know absolutely nothing.  This is all hopeful observations and logic speaking.

 

I REALLY  hope to see a healthy Jerome Hunter wearing an IU uniform AND playing on the court this season. IU's great radio host, who has seen a whole lot of super players come through Bloomington in his day, mentioned on multiple occasions that this kid was the second best player on the court last year prior to his setback.  I'm spiritual but not religious, so someone with prayers on their side, please throw them up north...for Jerome's sake.

Though red-shirted last season, he has had ample opportunity to work on his shooting touch while recovering from his injury. Hope this is reflective in percentages. But, with moving the 3pt line, all bet off.

Does IU even practice shooting the ball?

No but the players do.

come on now take it easy.  this is not really as big as it may seem right now.  this is very small.  I think I am allowed to employ sarcasm, even in early posts, in an attempt to coax a smile.  be nice.
