Robert Johnson has been a key contributor to the Indiana basketball program since the day he stepped on campus back in 2014. The senior guard has been a starter for 105 of the 116 games he has been healthy enough to play in since joining the team for the 2014-15 season. That kind of involvement from day one is just the kind of resume that can result in multiple appearances on the all-time statistical lists. Johnson reached his first major statistical milestone when he passed 1,000 points in the Seton Hall game earlier this season. He is now in 34th place…

Four weeks ago, fresh off a home loss to Fort Wayne, we suggested that this Indiana team was missing an identity. The talent was there, as could be seen only a game earlier when Indiana thrilled Hoosier Nation with a come from behind victory over Notre Dame. But overall, the Hoosiers had been mostly soft on defense and rebounding, turnover prone, and wildly inconsistent shooting the ball. Fast forward to today, and IU seems to be buying into Archie Miller’s system. Over the past three games Indiana has been aggressive on defense and rebounding the ball, and they’ve limited turnovers. …

Today we look at who’s leaving and coming back as the 2018 roster takes shape.
