Jerome Hunter is a very talented player who has had a very unfortunate start to his college career. After fighting through a leg injury for what should have been his freshman season, Hunter played his first minutes on a college court last year.
Hunter incrementally progressed throughout the year but spent most of his time shaking off the rust accumulated from not playing competitive basketball for over a year. Coming into Bloomington, Hunter was seen as a ready-to-play prospect. A top-50 player with a great body and great skills, the kid from Pickerington, Ohio was supposed to make an immediate impact right out of the gates.
