Seems more that you are just negative on this kid and anyone that supports him. He put up almost twice as many points at Montgomery while shooting a higher percentage than Montgomery and they guarded each other. More importantly than any of that, his team won the game. What is your argument exactly? Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app Some dont like kids that can put the ball in the basket. Prefer that 25% three point shooting we currently have.

My guess is the other guy actually took the time to watch the game and saw that Brown guarded him man to man the entire first half and basically shut him down. Also they never committed two defenders to brown ....you won’t see him shoot 2-11 from 3 very often if ever again and you’ll definitely never see him miss 4 free throws again ....that could have been a 50 point game very easily and again he did his part shutting down a taller skilled offensive player ....you should honestly watch some games you might stop doubting Pretty sure I never said that. I have no ill will towards Luke Brown the kid. I am sure he is a great kid. I do have an issue with his friends/family talking about him on message boards 24/7 and hyping him up when it’s been said multiple times that he is not going to be an IU caliber player. At least, I would hope that you are his friend or a family member because otherwise it would be downright creepy. It actually still is with how much you reply to yourself in this thread and try to bait other people into talking about him. You literally do not post in any other thread than this one and claim to be an IU fan. also, I’m from the Dubois County area and know people who saw the game. At least one person I talked to said Brown is a good high school player, but everything is run for him and he gets basically all of his teams shots. They did not think he was close to the caliber of player that would succeed at IU. I hope Luke has a great college career wherever he ends up, but this making him into something he is not, especially by you, is really tiring and frankly, weird. Jeff_Boy_Ardee 1

Looks like he could have his pick but his brightest future may be on the baseball diamond. The fact that Louisville had a basketball visit with him is eye opening. They were just priming him for the Dan McDonald visit (sorry UofL baseball coach). Preseason #1 ranking. IU/Butler/Notre Dame 1

I would say acquaintance not friend 3. It is a pretty common theme that all the detractors fail to attend any games themselves and are always relying on “ what is said “ or “ other people’s opinions “ .....the Montgomery kid I had never seen before and it took all of the warm up period for me to know he was a stud ...turns out he’ll likely be a pro baseball player. Your friends must not have watched closely cause Montgomery is talented and brown shut him down ...he also handles the ball and passes better than anyone in the state at any class level ....for your friends thinking everything runs through him Luke leads the state in assists at 13...next closer player 8 ...most assists in a season the last ten years was 9.8 for context. 4. You’ve been wrong about him so far and I wasn’t so instead of saying you’re wrong you’re calling me creepy ...I can live with that 5.

ap2345 Posted December 25, 2019 Posted December 25, 2019 I read u of l baseball alrwsdy had offered so basketball was trying to sweeten the pot by making him a two sport athlete which is what he wants That is likely correct. However it is very likely that he never plays a college sport as he will likely be a very high MLB draft pick out of high school.Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app IU/Butler/Notre Dame, thebigweave and Alford Bailey 3

He’s polarizing and i understand why but he’s a lot of fun to watch. I’ll keep up the updates for sure. Naysayers and negativity don’t bother me much otherwise I wouldn’t still be ten years into my marriage lol....Luke will play fine but I think Blackford is going to get a wake up call tonight even if hopf still isn’t eligible
