I watched a fair amount of UK games last season. Rooting for them to lose was a little ray of light in an otherwise sad season.

Let me tell you my thoughts on Keion Brooks:

He’s got a solid outside shooting form that’s not that far off. It can be a useful stroke. Waaay better looking than X Johnson or someone like Galloway. Kinda like Race-lousy results but looks like it could get there.

He’s a badass offensive rebounder.

He gets lost on the defensive end way way too much.

He’s an extremely unselfish player.

He plays with passion—an incredible motor.

He was the only kid on that suck @$$ team that attempted to lead—even when he was injured and the team was losing he was the only one that would meet the media. More than Calipari was willing to. He’s intelligent, classy, and personable.

Summary? He’d be an incredible get. If Woodson was our coach a few years ago he’d have already been a Hoosier, and a very popular one.

I’d hate to lose someone who wants to be a Hoosier like Trey. I’ll always like kids who choose to come here and don’t waver in their commitment.

With that said, we need talent infusions to compete at the level we want IU to play at. We haven’t had that in recent years. Talent wise, Keion is definitely an upgrade. Trey is a poor shooter. He was a 3 star recruit, #157 in his class. Not really the level of recruit we want to be bringing in. 
 

So, I’m conflicted. Might as well wait to see if it happens before deciding how I feel.

I'm sorta with you on this. Seems to me as if Brooks had plenty of chances to come aboard had he wanted. I'd be all Norman Dale and say, "My roster's complete" -- the 2021 version of "My team's on the floor." ... Galloway wanted to be here from the beginning, wanted to be here after Archie was fire and seemingly, still wants to be here. 

I 100% agree. I say no(not that I have vote). It is too much like the Creaning under Crean and a lot of people complained about. I don't care if the guy he replaces if it happens is "leaving on his own". The optics are terrible.

Is there anyone on the roster willing to pay their own way and give up a scholarship?

I don’t mind sharing. I just don’t see how Race is game is going to translate to this offense. No way he’s going to be happy just backing up TJD. Just my opinion but I’m also happy with the roster now. 

[Alford Bailey]

I dont play favorites. If you can upgrade the roster with Brooks you do it. IF( big if) that happens we are a conference favorite and a top ten team potentially. FWIW I dont think its likely.

[woodenshoemanHoosierfan]

If Our staff pushes Trey out to get this kid I’m going to be pissed. He’s has a million opportunities to be a Hoosier and hasn’t and Trey has bled Cream and Crimson through and through.
seriously awful move if this happens. I will have gone from I love this staff to WTF instantly

Can't like this enough.

I have absolutely no idea who could be leaving. Who would I give up? Whoever doesn’t help us win. I have a personal choice but it wouldn’t be cool to speculate who we can do without.

And before we grade out on-court ability, a player can help a team win in so many ways besides on court performance. Only nine or ten see the court, but all 13 can contribute in intangible ways. For instance, Brunk was more productive last year than more than a few guys who saw the court.

Brunk was more helpful than a guy drawing a 7 figure salary from what I could tell

Kinda how I feel, to be honest. I don’t really like it, but at the end of the day your goal is to put the best team you can on the court. You upgrade if you can. 

[WayneFleekHoosier]

It’s anything happens here, it’s more likely a personal decision rather than a push out the door. However, sometimes those can be one in the same after an influential discussion.

I have always wanted Brooks, but he should have had Kopp’s spot if that was the direction we were going.

Lander, XJ, Bates, Brooks, TJD might be fun to watch.

Who wins that 5 or..

Phin, Stewart, Kopp, Race, Duncomb

Haha. He’s my personal favorite even though at almost 45 years old I can shoot better than him, but I think his shot is fixable but I’m not sure others who are more important than me agree on that.

I’d take Galloway over Brooks all day, without question. He has the highest basketball IQ on the team. If he’s “pushed out” for a guy that’s been pedestrian at best, I’m gonna be f****** p*****.

I don’t see how Brooks even starts. What does he add that we don’t have already? At some point “potential” just kinda doesn’t matter. He’s. Not a 17 year old high school kid, he’s going into his junior year and hasn’t shown he is good at the things we’ve been lacking

[lillurk]

If a player has an honest conversation with coach and then decided to transfer to Norte Dame or Cincinnati so he can immediately play 20 minutes/game instead of waiting two years to maybe do that, why shouldn’t we be happy for him?

I mean I know what y’all are saying, this is rhetorical, please don’t explain it to me like I literally don’t know 

[mark1981]

Oh how things have changed.  Good problems to have I guess

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.

Has Woodson not realized that Brooks can’t shoot worth a damn either?

He can’t even find minutes on a dogshit team. This is I no way an upgrade to anyone we have

I mean, he played 24 mpg and averaged 10 points and 7 rebounds a game last year. While dealing with injuries. He hasn’t lived up to his top 25 ranking, but he’s a better player than Galloway is. (If that’s who we’d be choosing between).

Albeit on a 9-16 team as a sophomore. Trey was a freshmen on a better team.
