Sure wouldn't have known by watching last season.  That was brutal.

Hope to get a Hunter update soon!

Jerome, TJD, and Damezi walked past our tailgate this past weekend...I’m no doctor but based on my analysis of Jerome walking, he seemed to be taking steps of somebody who has been cleared for full contact! I think we’re gonna be good here guys!

I don’t have an Athletic subscription but apparently there’s a story that has Archie saying Jerome Hunter and Devonte will be key to our improved shooting this year. Archie seems to be confident Jerome will be a contributing

If you can't be an athlete, be an athletic supporter! 

I'm expecting Hunter to play but brought along carefully. I think it's safe to say IU has a very cautious athletic training staff.

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.

Your first 2 posts were "does IU even practice shooting the ball?"  and "who cares?"

You might want to work on your presentation.   You are allowed to do whatever you want.  And..people are allowed to avoid taking you seriously if this is what you have to add.

Good point. Last year half the team seemed to be in concussion protocol and our shoe contract should be with the infamous boot manufacturer. 

 

Obviously, Jerome’s injury is much more serious and I’m not suggesting he hasn’t received and continue to receive the best medical care possible. I’m rooting for you!

Wanted to add more about Jerome.

I just want the kid to play. He looked like an aggressive offensive player at Hoosier Hysteria last year which was a good sign. But after being out a year and maybe longer from legitimate gameplay, I won’t put large expectations on his return outside of a few points per game until he gets his feet wet. It may not be until his second season playing that he finally flourishes.

If he’s healthy I have moderate expectations for the beginning of the season but by the B1G season I expect him to be contributing a good amount and regularly just based on his talent level.

He’s a talented kid. And a fully healthy and engaged Hunter is going to help a team that is going to struggle offensively. But if the blood clot rumors were true, it will have to be closely monitored for the rest of his playing career. Chris Bosh was older, but yet it is still something that can end your career like it did his. And that’s definitely not something I want to see for him. 

[Old Friend]

Little premature to make Chris Bosh comparisons without knowing what was / is wrong with him, however I do agree with the sentiment.  If I may put some of the worries to rest :  Indiana University has some of the finest cardiologists, pulmonologists, and veinous surgeons in the world working for its healthcare system; and Dr. RInk (even as little as he's involved now) would never allow a player to be cleared if he were in danger.   I'm assuming for now that he's healthy enough to play, and if he's healthy enough to play, there should be no restrictions on him because playing 15 minutes is no better than playing 30.   And...this kid's good.  REALLY good.    Between he and Franklin, I'm very confident in the "wing/slasher/shooter/athletes" we have at that position, no matter how Archie decides to use them.  

If it ends up that he's NOT fully cleared by November, then of course you have to start assuming his role will be greatly diminished.

I am almost certain it is indeed blood clots as has been rumored. Cannot say that with 100% certainty but from what I heard I am reasonably sure (75-80%) that is accurate.

[Hoosierfan2017]

I think either Jerome is cleared for the first game or he never gets cleared to play. No inside information or expertise, just my opinion.

I thought some reasonable information was posted before that it wasn’t blood clots...?

If it wasn’t blood clots then I’m not sure what it could have been. But I’m not a doctor.

I heard compartment syndrome on the Hoosier report with Matt Denison during his weekly conversation with Greg Doyle.

Per Osterman, Hunter is a full go for basketball activities.

His introduction at Hoosier Hysteria will be insane.  Excited to see how he looks.

I have been hearing this for months that he was good to go but nice to see IU officially confirm it. Big news.
