(2019) SF Keion Brooks Jr. to Kentucky

Recommended Posts

IMO UK is always a factor. They can swoop in and change a recruitment at anytime.
UK can be just as bad for us when they miss a few targets than when they don’t. Now a guy like Brooks who was maybe 2nd on their wishlist moves to 1st when their number 1 recruits chooses another school instead of them. Some players don’t like being on a waiting list, some look at it as a break that falls in their favor. $ is unfortunately the name of the game.
That being said, it seems at least a couple of our inside guys still feel we are the team to beat.

That would be interesting with Brooks at the 4. I don’t know how I would truly feel about two freshman at the 4 and 5.

I never thought it would happen. Pictured him as a 2 or 3 for us.  But imagine MSU may have thought about him at 4

I definitely see him as a 3 for us. I know TJD is a 5 right now but does he have the skills to play the 4 if somehow DD comes back and fills the 5? I would Ike that frontcourt very much, especially if Smith is no longer in the picture. If Smith is back next year I fear Archie will continue to force him into lineups and we’ll be in for another very long season.

I believe Brooks is a “big wing” that could play the 3 or 4 depending on the lineup.

He does but that has been going strong about a year and a half since Romeo’s recruitment heated up. Not quite the daily reminder it used to be.

Agreed.  Didn't mean anything bad just that he's a big IU homer and believe all recruits IU wants will go to IU.  I hope we get Keion but him saying that should not mean nothing more than hoping just like I do.

I get what you’re saying but don’t recall him saying that about T Watford or Hurt.

Drew Davis was on with Kent Sterling earlier today and commented that he felt IU was still in a good position with Brooks.  His season at LaLu ends at the end of this month and he'll have a chance to get back home and discuss his recruitment with his parents and make a final decision.

FWIW, Davis also commented that Matthew Hurt was a really long shot for IU - no surprise there IMO.

I always assumed TJD was more of a 4 in the first place. His size doesn’t really scream big ten center and with Jake, Clifton, and hopefully DD in the fold, Archie will have plenty of size at his disposal to bench Justin if need be.

I really like your thinking here. I think the only chance here would be if Green is still with the team. Well known DD and Green are best buds.  My take is that they are their own little clique.
