If true who is the odd man out?

I don't see Brooks ending up at IU. We have a full roster and I don't think CMW is the kind of person who forces someone out after convincing them to stay. If he does, then I have misjudged him. Someone will have to seek another opportunity on their own for there to be a spot.

Honestly kind of tired of the Keion Brooks rumors (not from people on here or anything, just in general). He's had over a month to decide to enter the transfer portal and he hasn't so far. We had several spots open. He easily could've decided to take one, but he didn't. Now we're full. A 6'7 tweener who can't shoot isn't really what this team needs, anyway.

Yeah.  I cant see that happening

He wouldn't force someone out if he convinced that particular person to stay...but we don't know if he convinced everyone to stay...With new coaches coming and going players are advised to go elsewhere all the time. This is nothing new.

Doesn't seem like the 'family' atmosphere he has said he wants to create. I get that's the way it is most of the time. I just don't see that as something CMW can do and create the type of trust he is talking about. Just doesn't fit the narrative.

Brooks had plenty of time to enter the transfer portal when IU had openings on their roster. If he does announce he is transferring, he waited until the IU roster was filled. That suggests he doesn't want to play for IU, that he is looking to play somewhere else.

[Hoosier987]

Maybe the roster is completely set...but how do we know the roster is completely set? How do we know CMW is recruiting "everyone" to stay? Listen, I don't have the slightest idea if Brooks is coming or going or entering the NBA draft....What I do know for sure is who is coming back to Indiana --based on player's social media post announcements-- which will make for an incredibly fun year....I'm also for advising someone to go elsewhere to play more minutes (if they weren't recruited to stay) if it means bettering the program.

Keion Brooks in the portal?

Even though the scholarships are full  you need to find space for talent. I would love for CMW to welcome him...

I'm not saying that someone won't choose to go somewhere else to find more playing time. What I was saying is that CMW can't recommend that to a kid who wants to be here and establish the kind of culture he said he would have. Wanting a family atmosphere and developing trust are not compatible with encouraging kids to leave. We can't have it both ways.

[Hippopotamo]

I don’t think anyone would be forced out. But I could see one of the guys at the end of the bench decide they’d rather play more minutes elsewhere. If that were to happen, I could see IU filling that spot. I don’t see them going into the fall with an unused scholarship. 

[Stuhoo]

Someone may have already told Woody they gone.

Brooks may not be considering IU.

It’s a fun waiting game because of the depth we already have.

What if someone potentially redshirted? That would make keion available right? Just thinking aloud

Nope Redshirt still takes a scholarship 

[VO5]

Pass on Brooks. Just isn’t really what we need. He also hasn’t lived up to his ranking out of hs. I’d rock with Geronimo as I think he’s going to end up better than Brooks anyway.

[Bigred3588]

I’m admittedly biased in that I have no interest in Brooks after he snubbed us for one of our most hated rivals. That said, why would we be interested in a guy that shot 26% from 3 and 48% from the field? I thought the idea was to get away from players that can’t shoot.
