After the departure of Cody Zeller, Christian Watford, Jordan Hulls and Victor Oladipo from last year’s starting men’s basketball squad, many have declared this season a rebuilding year.
Yogi Ferrell didn’t get that memo.
He’s only averaging about a minute more than he was last year, but he’s more than doubled his scoring average from 7.6 points per game last year to 19.5 this year.
What’s most different about Yogi’s game this year is his ability to shoot from outside the arc.
He isn’t afraid to attempt the three-point jumper from the top of the key, and it’s making him a nightmare for defenses.
IU basketball is a religion, and Yogi is our new preacher.
He’s fully embraced his new role as team leader, and we couldn’t be happier.
