Rupp Rafters doesn’t have a clue, one of their posters said that Jboy just grabs stuff from message boards. Another poster said their is smoke about Keion transferring

TJD and Armaan I believe drove up to his commitment just to support him even though he was picking UK. Not sure it’s related to his quote but they are definitely friends

Just daydreaming here, but could you imagine if Brooks came to IU and Coach Woody turned him into a 1st rounder? UK would still get the top recruits that would go pro straight from high school if they could, but IU could turn into a developmental stepping stone to the NBA.

Are these really his stats?  That 3pt% is yikes

Could’ve just stopped after the bold part...

Yeah he’s not been very good compared to what was expected. To be honest I don’t really want him.

Just saw a tweet from an SEC insider account with 13.5k followers that says Keion Brooks to the portal and then to Indiana... I’m not getting Brad Stevens’d again but that would be ok with me

Yes he and TJD are very close. I vividly remember TJD trying to steer him to IU but supported him in his decision. Brooks would be a nice get. 3 and D and high energy

He did have a very limited role and dealt with injuries this year. I’ll trust Woody and company on this one.

Very true, maybe this is a signal that Ed Schilling is coming back to join CMW's staff - galactic brain stuff going on in Bloomington right now ; )

3 and D without the 3 if we’re being real.. he shoots 23% from 3. Honestly, if he hadn’t been a 5 star recruit we had recruited back in the day, would any of us want him? He averaged 10 ppg and shot 21% from 3 on a really bad Kentucky team last year. The year before that he averaged 4.5 ppg. Maybe he’s better than his numbers indicate at this level, but idk. He didn’t want us two years ago. He opted for big bad Kentucky because IU fans were big meanies on social media. I think we can get better players than him that fit our system.

Oh come now.. I think it'll be pretty easy...

May not be a popular opinion but wholeheartedly agree. Especially considering that baggage that comes with him in the form of Sr

Keion would basically be Race without the physicality. Seems like most on here have arrived at the opinion that Race is likely the odd man out. I'm not sure I see the fit. I would rather go after a guy like DJ Jeffries from Memphis.

[WayneFleekHoosier]

Upset about Swider but I fully expected Syracuse immediately when I saw the list.

I would be Happy about Brooks.  He can be good. He can be better.  I like his size and speed.  I like that he likes TJD and they play well together.  

Lets get the FN band back together boys!

I do worry a little about the baggage from Sr, I’ll freely admit that.  But many players have baggage, we just don’t know about it.

Brooks have an outside shot at all? Haven't watched him too much at Kentucky, but can he step outside at all? From what I've seen he's pretty active on the glass

We also don’t know if he took anything to go to Kentucky. He’s been a bust but he was very regarded out of HS. If I’m gonna be cool with an instate kid who spurned IU for Kentucky, transfering here it needs to be a All BigTen First Team lock. Brooks doesn’t deserve a scholarship at IU and there are better options in the portal than him. 

[JimmerNoe]

He defends well and is long as hell, can switch 4 positions on D. Attacks the glass. He’s kinda the prototypical NBA body. I trust Coach Woodson could make good use of those things.

Who knows if this even has any legs but I think it’s crazy to not want a guy as raw as this to come home and play with his HS buddies in a transition year. I think he’s a guy that just needs a change of scenery.

This is nonsense. 

Brooks is a player and a great talent. You take him if you can get him.

Was not a fan coming out and didn’t consider him a miss. But he changed my mind this year. He was the only kid in that dumpster fire that played hard in every game of theirs I saw. Competed on the boards. Was probably their best defender. Was vocal with teammates. Was taking coaching from Cal. Gained a lot of respect for him. And the stroke isn’t broken. I’m confident he can make shots. I think he would have a chance of being a nice fit with Trayce. Just not sure that’s the role he’d be looking for.

[HoosierBoiler]

I could get on board

1.lander

2.Franklin 

3.Brooks

4.Hunter

5.TJD

Line up two

1.Rob P

2.Stewart 

3.Leal

4.Galloway

5.Duncomb

Hard to find spots for everyone!!!!

Yeah, everyone who knows him says he’s a great kid. He’s competitive.  He had a nice midrange game at LaLu.  He would be nice in transition. Very nice on Defense.  TJD and Keion were very good together in AAU.   I believe LaLu was the #1 team his season and he was a main part of that.  His time at Kentucky hasn’t been great.  He’s not a sharpshooter but he could be a winning Ingredient.
