Beyond that, this Indiana team is on track to be something that Miller hasn’t yet found a way to escape — young.
Out of the 17 players expected on next year’s roster, the experience distribution should look something like this: five upperclassmen to 12 underclassmen. Baked into that assumption are guesses that IU picks up a grad transfer like Joey Brunk, and then fills out its remaining openings with freshmen. The Hoosiers currently have
three open scholarships for next season.
Perhaps even more important than seemingly perpetual youth is a lack of continuity. Out of the 17 players on the 2018-19 roster, only 8 will be back next year. One of those eight is Jerome Hunter, who hasn’t played and no one seems to know for sure if he ever will.
That’s all a far cry from a core group of upperclassmen that have played in a coach’s system for four years.
