iuhoosiers.com is doing a weekly feature called "Hoosier of the Week" where they recognize the best of the best from IU sports for the week. This week the lucky two are D.J. White and Whitney Thomas.
First off, D.J. What a pleasure it is to see him on the court, and getting better each game. It was painful to be in the stands all last year and see him on the sidelines. Sure he looked good in his expensive suits (of which he cut up one pant leg in order to wear it over his cast), but having him on the court with Vaden and Killingsworth would've been great. We need him more than ever this season, and it looks like he's ready to step up and be the leader of this team.
Second is Whitney Thomas. I'll admit it, I've never seen her play, but it seems like this is the break out season for her. Three double-double games, and on the week she's averaging 13.5 points and 13.5 rebounds. This is a nice step up from her season average of 8.9 points and 8.8 rebounds. We'll be keeping a close eye on her this season for sure. And hopefully her brother will step up big for the Hoosier football squad next year.
