Welcome to “That’s A Wrap,” our player-by-player recap of the 2017-2018 Indiana Hoosiers. Today: Josh Newkirk.
Newkirk (31 games): 7.1 points, 2.8 assists, 2.1 rebounds, 80.7 FT%, 30.5 3PFG% in 23.3 minutes per game.
When Josh Newkirk arrived in Bloomington in August of 2015 as a transfer from Pittsburgh, he was immediately thrust into a difficult position.
Not only was Newkirk coming off of microfracture surgery and a disappointing sophomore season for the Panthers, he was lined up to be the successor to one of the most popular and successful players in recent IU history in Yogi Ferrell.
