Trayce Jackson-Davis and Race Thompson held down the Indiana frontcourt for four straight years. With the transfer portal and recruitment, that’s a lot of continuity in modern-day college basketball.
In those four years, the Hoosiers endured a coaching change, some wins, a few losses and capped it off with back-to-back appearances in the NCAA tournament, a giant leap from where the program was five years ago. There’s no question that Jackson-Davis and Thompson were formidable in the Big Ten, but as time moves on, personnel changes.
That gives Malik Reneau and Kel’el Ware big shoes to fill.
