Josh Newkirk's recent transfer from Pitt kind of came out of the blue and was a pretty late/surprising development as the season nears. The fact that he went to Indiana when the official press release on his transfer said he was leaving to be closer to home was even more surprising.
Recently, Newkirk's dad spoke out on the move. To Josh, apparently, it was like 'a dream come true' per the Indy Star:
"When Indiana called, he was like, 'That’s like a dream come true right there.' They run that transition style, the kind he’s used to running," Reggie Newkirk said.
