Keion to actually possibly transfer? :o

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. 

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.

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.

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

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 1,535]

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.

Nope, a redshirt player still counts towards your 13 scholarships

I would assume that if Keion Brooks does enter the portal, the odds-on favorite to land him has to be Grand Canyon University because they have Schilling on staff, right?  I hear the connection to the family is air tight...

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.

And why would IU want him??  He's not shown anything remotely remarkable in his relatively limited playing time at KY.  He's completely average, IMO.  I simply don't see a need or a good fit.

Brooks has loads of talent but he is very undisciplined. My sense is that he would undermine potential team unity. In any event, it doesn't seem he would want to come to IU even if there was an opening and Woodson was interested in him.

I know Chris had hinted the Brooks camp had been sending out feelers (I believe it) but I’d still be a bit surprised if he ended up at IU. Osterman shared on Mind your Banners recently that KB soured on IU watching fans react to the 2018-19 losing streak. Obviously the mood is more positive now...and don’t shoot the messenger, I know just like you that UK fans are surely worse after a year like this.

Don’t be surprised if he’s not a Hoosier by the end of the weekend. I just hope the name I’m hearing isn’t the one to leave to make room for Brooks. He’s a personal favorite of mine.

Was this person thinking about leaving on his own, or is he being gently nudged out the door.

But if what I’m told there might be more than one leave after it’s all said and done. Especially after Xavier and Bates come to town.

Are these potential losses guys who did not enter the portal ?

Not totally sure but was told that Woody doesn’t want to play 4 on 5 on the offensive end. Which I countered with Race can’t shoot either.
