One of the top in-state players in the class of 2023 is right in IU’s backyard, and Bloomington North forward JaQualon (“JQ”) Roberts is firmly on the new Indiana staff’s radar. During his first two years of high school, Roberts has been thought of as a good athlete with a big frame, impressive length and a high ceiling. He seemed to tap into that potential this spring and summer, demonstrating an improved handle and jump shot as he helped lead his 2023 Indiana Elite Adidas squad on a memorable run. The Indiana Elite 16Us went into their final weekend of…
