Newton!
- Thread starter stollcpa
- Start date
I'm rooting for him, Strong commitment to Hoosiers, worked hard on bench, gym and classroom and he used a year to heal up, and hoping he does. My kind of hoosier. Hope it works for him, and US.

How high is he getting on that? Saw someone guess 45". Not sure if its that high, but good night that's a vertical!
He is the kinda guy that didn't give a shit who we recruited, he believes in himself and that he will get on the court. Man I want him to excel. I think I am most excited to see him.
For sure up around 12 feet, which is insane.

Hall of Famer
Newton HS teammates.
From the respective university team bios:
SC = As a junior, he averaged 16.6 points, 6.5 rebounds, 3.2 assists and was named the Region 4 Class 7A Player of the Year
JN = averaged 14.3 points, 5.2 rebounds, and 1.7 assists per game as a junior
Three years ago, Newton said his vertical was around 42".
Not surprising. He high point blocked an Isaiah Collier dunk attempt, with one healthy leg basically, in that TV game a couple years ago.
I get strong Olidipo vibes from him.

Hart and Wilkerson. IUs backcourt of the future everyone was so excited about in 1993.
To be honest, I've seen Cav get much higher than that. But it was at a Dave Matthew's Band concert.
I thought Newton was a sleeper last season. Explosive athlete who competed with and against guys like Castle and Collier in high school and more than held his own. Underrated shooter, could be a great defender, the body of a grown man, hard worker, and a guy who could come in and push some of these transfers to the bench if they don't put in the effort.
winning the summer workout season again.... !
They'd compete with the Dream Team...Mgbako looks like Giannis now...etc, etc...
It is good to see the new guys in IU gear though...
Yeah, I've just had enough of the rah-rah videos and flexing pics, etc...
He was a fringe top 50 kid prior to his injury. Has every tool imaginable to be a high level basketball player for this university. Staying the course and obviously staying healthy this year are priorities #1 and 2. He'll get his chance one day,
Tremendous young man. I've watched him workout a couple of times. Currently he has identical measureables to Donovan Mitchell. 6'10" wingspan. Maybe 6'3" 215 in shoes. At one time Carlyle was the number 6 player in Georgia and he was number 5. Overtime elite players always get a ranking exaggeration over public school kids. Then after the second injury he dropped to 7th and Carlyle finished 4th. He's one of those freaky physical athletes that can look at weights and put on 20lbs of muscle. He's a pwr combo guard that can change games defensively. Next year he could be penciled into a starting roll easily. Right now he's good. The concern isn't injury during common basketball plays. He's not injury prone. It's more about strengthening support tissue and getting over the psychological part. He's one of 4 new exceptional perimeter defenders we didn't have last year to add to Galloway. The number of 3pt attempts by our opponent will be cut in half.
Yes the tiles do look like a two foot scale. An an inches above the rim setup would seem typical. Even if it’s only 11’ … it couldn’t have been done on a bum knee.
More importantly, the quads look evenly developed, which says he should be a full time summer activity participant.
Did take a college course on athletic training taught by a licensed physical therapist.
would make you as much or more of a quad specialist as anyone on here with that resume.
