One of the biggest topics of discussion this season for Indiana basketball has been the talent, or lack thereof on the roster.
Some people look at top-100 recruits such as Justin Smith, De’Ron Davis (returning from a torn achilles), Jerome Hunter (who has yet to play due to a leg injury), and Robert Phinisee who was just outside of the top-100, as players who should be more capable of maybe what they can do at this stage of their careers.
Obviously with Romeo Langford, a top-10 recruit in 2018 and projected lottery pick in the 2019 NBA Draft, and bringing back Juwan Morgan, ranked the preseason 31st best player in the country on CBS Sports, the expectations were sky high.
