VO5 Posted August 7, 2018 Posted August 7, 2018 While I may disagree with what Keion’s role could be in college, I really don’t think I was being hard on him whatsoever. I also never wished him ill will or anything bad, so I’m not sure where that came from. All I did was lay out concerns for his ability to play the 2 spot in college. I would love for him to succeed. But I don’t see anything wrong with what I said. Appreciate the response Stromboli. Stuhoo, Class of '66 Old Fart, mdn82 and 2 others 5 Quote
HoosierAloha Posted August 7, 2018 Posted August 7, 2018 He's a human being, 16 or 17 years old, so let's cheer him on regardless. If he chooses IU all the better. As far as position in college, a lot will depend on where he goes and the talent around him. I doubt he'll be a "big" in college. If he ends up at IU I could see him playing the small wing, most likely the "3." I don't think that matters too much as he would probably play alongside Smith and TJD. That would be a great frontline in collegeball. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mamasa, Kepner, GloryDays and 2 others 5 Quote

I'm gonna speak for Stromboli (I know...dangerous move ;) Given the way that you post and interact on BtownBanners, I don't think that the "let's not overreact or wish KBJ badly" advice was largely directed at, or intended for V05.

At all. I probably should have realized this before replying :) Stomboli is an invaluable poster here and he brought up great points that make a lot of sense. It truly will be interesting to see Keion’s projection into college. He will absolutely be a nightmare if all of those facets of his game show up. Let’s hope they do!

Stuhoo Posted August 7, 2018 Posted August 7, 2018 Keion Brooks is the kind of shooting guard that starts for national championship quality teams. thebigweave, Joe Klingler, Class of '66 Old Fart and 1 other 4 Quote
WayneFleekHoosier Posted August 7, 2018 Posted August 7, 2018 It’s about time you brought some insider info to this board! I’m still waiting for me to know something Worth sharing :-)He didn’t say he IS going to Indiana, but he did say he thinks he WILL go to Indiana. It was unprompted. We were talking about IU and Romeo and he offered that up without me talking about Keion at all. I’m a little worried (because that’s what I do)that LaLu will change things.

Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app Think of it this way: In Fort Wayne Keion will almost always be the biggest player on the court. At LaLu, he can play guard. And there’s a team that he’s interested in that looks to have a 2019 need at shooting guard. It’s the team with Langford, but it’s not the team with Josh Langford. thebigweave, yogisballin, A.j.

Their fans think they are out of it. So of course the bashing has already started. Heres my thing. Brooks wants to be a guard. And a familu friend is also known to be great at developing guards. How doesnt it make sense. Quote
