Jerni Kiaku to Indiana

Jerni Kiaku commits who seemingly no one knew IU was after:

Started every game for Duquesne  (They were 21-13 and 126 RPI). Averaged double figures. Against power five had 13 against PSU, 20 against Pitt. Not a good long range shooter but more athletic and may have driving ability.

Really hard to know how a player at this level translate. Could be great or nothing and fits into team being a huge unknown that could make team 25-10 or 10-25 and no one would be surprised.

Also, the continued foreigners show IU not where they want NIL wise. Doesn't mean that won't work. Teams have loaded up on foreigners and thrived. Just speaks to the continued shopping on budget

I like the way Jerni plays basketball.  I hope she gets more minutes.  Brings a steady veteran presence to a fairly young team.
I am somewhat surprised IU chose to make a such big deal out of her 1,000 points, considering 982 of them were made at her two previous schools.
I know, it's the way things are now.  I need to get used to it.
