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.  

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.

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.

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!

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.

Brooks has a greatly improved outside shot.

He is very very active especially on the offensive boards.

He can guard multiple positions.

He is good locker room kid.

He would be absolutely great at IU

Dude chill. Great Talent? Check his stats...they don’t lie. He was a mediocre backup player on a very very bad Kentucky team.

Swap Kentucky with Indiana and you described Lander. Stats don’t always tell the whole story. 

[Hoosier1984]

How about we just get Michael Lewis as assistant coach and he brings Jaquez with him.

This. This. This.

No one on that entire Kentucky team looked good. Boston, maybe. But you’d also be crazy to say that none of them are any good because their stats don’t lie. Sometimes teams fall apart despite talent.

So you’re now we’re saying Lander is a great talent??? Or are you agreeing with me? Lander put up CYO League C Team numbers this season and has a long, long way to go before he is ever going to be viewed as a great talent. Comparing Brooks to Lander is actually disrespectful to Brooks

[JimmerNoe]

Imagine thinking Khristian Lander and Keion Brooks aren’t great talents... sheesh I hope Lebron enters the transfer portal or we’re gonna have some disappointment on the board.

Based on what? His high school ranking? His actual stats at the D1 level don't fit that billing.

Thanks. This is helpful info. His stats are certainly questionable but hearing a kid plays like that, especially when on such a bad team is good to hear.

What are you basing Brooks being a “great talent” on? Because it’s definitely not his college performance. He didn’t start on a 9-16 Kentucky team. His high school ranking doesn’t matter anymore. What matters is what he’s done in college. And his college performance has been underwhelming. I’d rather get the stretch 4 from Furman.

Whatever man, I guess 2 pts a game while shooting 25% and a 1 for 1 assist to turnover ratio is “a great talent”....or you just don’t know what you’re talking about. Being highly successful and rated in high school doesn’t make you a great college talent or have you already forgotten about Hanner Perea?

Imagine a world where someone thinks it’s appropriate to use LeBron James in a Keion Brooks/Khristian Lander talent comparison/discussion...

I can speak for lander and pretty much everyone on the IU team that was gunshy this year looking over there shoulder. Almost nobody played up to their potential and Archie mind ****ed almost everyone on that team.
