IUrocker

I think it’d be different if Trayce and Armaan were going to support their friend as kids who were NOT already committed to the school Keion may announce. The fact that Trayce and Armaan are going and are committed players to a team in his top 2 has to mean something positive for us. Who knows, Keion could have contacted them himself to tell them they ought to come....and if he DID do that, then why would he pick the rival school?

Yeah my feeling says he just won’t want to pass up playing with his friends and staying home to represent his home state. He knows how he’d be treated here and his name would carry way more weight as a Hoosier. Everyone switching their picks to Kentucky could be just what they are trying to make happen, and then bam, make all the “experts” wrong.

Two more crystal ball picks for UK tonight...man I hope it’s all false info and Keion/family are just leading people on to make it a shocker when he picks IU and make these picks wrong. I really really hope Trayce knows something and is going for reasons other than basic support for a friend.

No not sure what article it is from at all, sorry...but i definitely do remember him and that quote when he left Fort Wayne. When I saw someone post it with today’s date as a new thing, it sparked a “wtf?” moment with me because I swear I had seen the exact same type of thing mentioned back when he left Fort Wayne.

I don’t see how after today’s loss we think it’s over with Keion. That comment of leaving his home to secure his future was made way back when he left FW to play at La L, and I highly doubt yesterday when Archie met with him he said “Coach, if you lose tomorrow’s game I’m not gonna go to IU.” In my opinion, today’s loss has no effect on Keion at all. It’s not this year’s team that he will be playing with. Am I 100% sold on him coming to IU, no...but I’m surely not ruling it out.

Yep, just about the only thing that can get this loss out of my mind fairly quickly is some good news tomorrow night. How great would it be if Romeo, Trayce and Keion have all talked about and formulated a plan to play together next year at IU.....highly unlikely and obviously a dream scenerio, but dang that would make this season hurt a lot less.

Feel bad for Green having a hot shooting game like that and we lose because no one else showed up.

Stupid, Fitz!!!!

Green with that floating half court pass turnover ruined the huge momentum we could have had there.

What the hell kind of pass was that Green???!!!! And then they get a 3 out of it!!!!

11-0 run is nice...just sucks we had to be down 20 when it happened...keep it up!

He had enough time to sip a cup of tea before he shot that 3...leaving guys open like that is so frustrating.

When we turn the ball over they make us pay, and when they turn the ball over we turn it back over again.

Thought for sure this team would come in here with their hair on fire knowing what was at stake and they haven’t shown it at all. Plus add the fact that Ohio State is all of a sudden hitting shots they didn’t make their last 3 games...

Freakin’ Woods has made every one of those so far

Just because Woods looks like he’s 45 doesn’t mean he should be able to push off before a shot...

If we end up playing Ohio State on Thursday, is Caleb Wesson going to magically come back from suspension?

True that...i was actually going to edit my post and add that at the end, ha

At this point I'm really wondering if the fact that his announcement being in Fort Wayne open to the public is a really good sign, or he and his family aren't worried about any backlash they may get if he chooses to go elsewhere. I'm aware that it's his choice and he shouldn't care about backlash or getting people's hopes up if he's happy, but i just can't see him letting his buddies down and pass up the opportunity to play with them. I could see it being in Fort Wayne (other than family being there) as a spot to make people think it'll definitely be IU and ends up choosing elsewhere, but then i also could see his late visit to Kentucky making people think he's going there and then he chooses IU. I have Kentucky and MSU fans at work who didn't even know about his announcement date, and when i told them about it and that it was being held in Fort Wayne to the public, they all said "you guys got him, there's no way he's not choosing IU if it's in Fort Wayne open to the public" Heck, with the Fort only being about 30-35 minutes south of me i'd probably go if i didn't have to work. I personally think IU will end up getting him, but it's tough because he and his family have done a pretty good job at being strategic with their plans and keeping things close to the vest.

Im gonna go total optimistic and say that Peegs changed his pick to UK to help the family keep the suspense and shock the world when Keion chooses IU! (I’ve learned how to type on my phone while dreaming ).....but seriously, hopefully it’s just a guess on his part at this point and IU is still somehow in this. It’s crazy how Calipari can swoop in like this and make such an impression. Keion can go to the NBA playing for IU as well, and his friends are there. I’d like to think that in the back of Keion’s mind, he would regret letting his friends down and missing out on having fun with them. He has always said how important and a privilege it’d be to represent his home state across his chest...hopefully that doesn’t end up being all talk. More than happy to have TJD and AF onboard and already representing IU very well!!

Yes, I’m sure TJD knows. His tweets are helping him out with the suspense before he announces.

Yeah I don’t think he has relationships with MSU/KU players like he does with the IU commits. Plus I don’t see their tweets as thinking he is slipping away from them. I see it as they are playing along with the suspense he wants, and they think throwing subtle tweets out will make people think me must still be wide open and undecided, when really, he’s not.

Yeah, Trayce knows where’s he’s going. His tweets are just helping his buddy keep the suspense so he can have his day....just like the timing of his Kentucky visit. Sure as heck got a lot of people to think he’s going to Kentucky and keep the suspense up making them think they have no idea. I’m not saying it’s a fact he’s 100% IU, but all of this could just be devised tactics to make people keep guessing when really he’s known he has wanted IU for quite some time. Kids these days want their spotlight and like providing the suspense.

it is indeed pretty cool that he announces a decision date the day after we sweep MSU...

Well hopefully going to IU is still a decision he see's as done for himself and not the state. Selfish could just mean even though if he has some family members leaning the other way, he needs to decide for himself.
