Go back and read the article that had Keion's response. He blatantly said he didn't know much about it. So having an ignorant hard stance is a good thing? Disagree. Now as to whether Rupp was a racist or not I'm not going to argue that. Doesn't change the fact that his response was bad. If you don't know anything about the subject just say as much or decline to respond. That's a part of the problem with our society as a whole these days. Everybody uses their mouths more than their eyes and ears. I'm done getting off the topic

He’s 19/20 years old and was put on the spot.

IMO he was absolutely right about Rupp, but I agree that he didn’t site the basis for what he said with..exact...perfectly...chosen...words.

If that’s what it takes to bother us? Oh boy.

That's not my point. I agree he was put on the spot. However me being told it had nothing to do with the name "Adolph" is wrong. Here is his direct quote. Would've been a non-issue had he said I don't know much about it or something along those lines. Or even just ending after the first part.  

 

“Being honest, I haven’t educated myself well enough on Adolph Rupp or just the whole situation at hand to really give you my thoughts on it,” said Brooks, who is also a member of the SEC Council on Racial Equality and Social Justice. “From what I do know, I would like to see a name change just basically because of what his name is and what that’s connected to and what that kind of represents. I would like to see a name change.”

His name represents racism.  The fact your trying to twist his words to fit some other narrative is strange to say the least 

[HoosierAloha 30,024]

A kid saying he hasn’t educated himself well enough but stating “from what I do know” there needs to be a change. Sounds like more logic than what many twice his age give in response.

I didn’t know much on President Jordan’s past but from what little I did know I knew he didn’t represent what Indiana University is about. Weird!

What are you talking about? Nowhere in his quote does he mention it is merely because of his first name, Adolph. That is you own inference.

Indiana did not make top 8 for Noah Gurley.

Well that’s disappointing. The only part I don’t like about the portal is not knowing who we are targeting.

His name absolutely does not represent RACISM!  If anything, and that is loosely, it might be in reference to antisemetism.   Do you know history?

He sounds dumb and un-educated on history with this response.  He should've just kept his mouth shut if he didn't know what he was talking about.

I almost never say this, but I am a dad of two biracial daughters. I have grandchildren with the whole spectrum of skin tones. I love them with all my heart. I specifically try to stay out of these discussions because I was never trying to do anything except give kids a home who didn't have one. Can we just accept that it's an imperfect world and try to make tomorrow a better day. Sorry for the diversion, but these things strike at issues I have had to deal with my entire life. Hide this post if necessary. I'm 72 and this touches a nerve.

 

__________________________________________________________________

Ladies and gentlemen,

The discussion is getting pretty heated as it has veered toward the history of Adolph Rupp.

I encourage each of you to research Rupp’s history and character. Learn and inform yourselves, and draw your own conclusions.

This, however is a sports message board. While issues about racism, history, and individual responsibilities matter, and many think they matter greatly, the established rules of this board dictate that this will not be the place for that discussion.

So, from this point forward any posts about these issues will be hidden. That will continue to hold true in all threads, including threads where and if Brooks becomes a hot topic.

Thanks

Rutgers had another player enter the portal -- Montez Mathis.  Started 66 games in three years, averaged 8 points/game but has struggled with his shot.

[Hoosierfan2017 20,877]

With Swider and the Furman kid no longer options, are we going after any other stretch 4s?

[Alford Bailey 12,350]

What is the cutoff date to enter the portal?

Brooks.....maybe not a stretch 4, but a versatile SF/PF....

 

Ducks and leaves.

 

 

Admit to preferring Swider above all.

I’m not upset we didn’t get Swider. He’s a good shooter but his defense was horrible at Villanova. 

[e1999doubleglock 36]

Does anyone actually think Brooks will go from UK to IU? That would take a massive set of cajones. Hope it happens but I'd give it a 1% chance...

There are all sorts of portal related questions.  From postings on this site, those that are in the portal have lost their scholarships.  Players only may get scholarships if the coach approves.  Do the player and/or his parents and the coach have to sign off on this (ie. commitment) ?

So, let's say a player is allowed to return after entering the portal.  Coach gives the player the scholarship. Then the player changes the decision...can he go back into the portal?  

I just wonder when Coach Woodson will draw the line.  And, it may be flexible considering the decision thought process and meetings with player and parents.  Heard it was today...but not sure.

On a side note...hope this team jells, hits shots, plays with intensity, help each other,  and wins and wins...and represents Indiana University in a very positive manner....banners galore!

There isn’t one. You can enter the portal 7 days a week, 365 days a year. It’s a free-for-all.

If Armaan transfers I think Locke would be an excellent replacement. He’s a little small for a combo guard but his stroke looks fantastic.
