Popular Post Hoosierfan2017 Posted April 16, 2019 Popular Post Posted April 16, 2019 Very good pickup for us at a position of need. With Davis and Brunk at the 5 it should allow TJD to play the 4. Kepner, HoosierHoops1, Stromboli and 5 others 8 Quote
BtownStrength Posted April 16, 2019 Posted April 16, 2019 Very happy with our frontcourt depth on paper. Welcome Joey! mark1981 and BGVille Hoosierfan 2 Quote
Crimson and Cream Posted April 16, 2019 Posted April 16, 2019 Not a flashy pickup but a much needed one. I expect him to be one of those blue collar, hard working big fellas the Hoosier faithful falls in love with. Welcome aboard Joey!! ellen.walden, HoosierAloha, pumpfake and 1 other 4 Quote
Class of '66 Old Fart Posted April 16, 2019 Author Posted April 16, 2019 https://indianahq.com/joey-brunk-commits-to-indiana-university/ Osterman in the Indy Star: BLOOMINGTON – After surrendering post depth to transfer, with the departures of Jake Forrester and Clifton Moore, IU coach Archie Miller has gotten some back. Butler graduate transfer center Joey Brunk, a one-time IndyStar Mr. Basketball finalist at Southport, has committed to play his last two seasons of college basketball for Indiana, the player tweeted Tuesday. The Hoosiers’ involvement in Brunk’s re-recruitment gathered pace quickly, with IU coaches visiting him in Indianapolis and Brunk responding with a trip to Bloomington days later. Now, he’ll join a frontcourt that also includes senior De’Ron Davis and incoming freshman (and McDonald’s All American) Trayce Jackson-Davis. Brunk has two years of eligibility remaining. He averaged 7.6 points and 3.6 rebounds per game last season at Butler, shooting 61.7 percent from the floor. IUsafety, barrettballer, Red1 and 3 others 6 Quote

HoosierAloha Posted April 16, 2019 Posted April 16, 2019 Some kid pickup for a grad transfer that will be here two years AND help with experience and culture. I don’t expect him to replace JMo but I expect him to help focus the team. Welcome Joey! Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners ALASKA HOOSIER, bobhunt18, mdn82 and 4 others 7 Quote

C'mon man Juwan was never a legit center, barely 6'8. Brunk is 6'11. Davis is what, 6'10? Add in TJD and Race. IU hasn't had this in a long time. Maybe 2016? Bryant, OG, and Bielfeldt? Even on the 2012/2013 team it was just Zeller. You can't have too many bigs. thebigweave 1 Quote
Popular Post rebelhoosier848891 Posted April 16, 2019 Popular Post Posted April 16, 2019 Welcome home big fella! You are the kind of recruit we should have gone after harder in the past—a tough—hard nosed—Indiana kid who will bring hustle and passion to the program. Better late than never. Now help us turn the culture around and let’s get back to our winnin’ ways! Hoo—Hoo—Hoo—Hoosiers! southsidehoosier, Napleshoosier, Crimson and Cream and 11 others 14 Quote

Hey I like this pick up but we had 2 bigs just leave the program 2 weeks ago. And if Juwan was not a big how is Race a big. Now, it is perfectly fine to be happy trading 2 guys who were far down the bench for Brunk who could be a great pick up.

His defense is actually one of his strengths. I wouldn’t ever expect him to create much offense but he will be a stopper down low. Great pickup for post depth from the staff. Just need a shooter now Alford Bailey and Hutch89 2 Quote
