Bailey7878 Posted March 5, 2019 Posted March 5, 2019 I think part of the reason the pop isn't there is him playing at Lalumiere instead of the IHSAA.Plus i think people realized just getting a top ten player isnt going to make us top 20. People are more realistic now.Sent from my SM-J700T using Tapatalk tortex28 1 Quote
Popular Post Yogi's Picnic Basket Posted March 5, 2019 Popular Post Posted March 5, 2019 If Brooks makes the trip to Bloomington on Sunday that will only help. I also believe if he does, him & Romeo could end up talking quite a bit. I also expect at least one of TJD/Armaan to show up to help a bit. Nothing is set in stone with Brooks, but I do expect at least 2 guys to be there. barrettballer, IUsafety, HoosierFan1994 and 5 others 8 Quote

Honkyman Posted March 5, 2019 Posted March 5, 2019 Brooks and Jackson-Davis communicate all the time. He doesn't need to see him in person to talk to him. Quote
mookied39 Posted March 5, 2019 Posted March 5, 2019 OK....question. Secure KBJ and he stays lets say 2 years. Or a 4 year impact player similar to say a Matt Nover. Which would you rather have? I would go with the Nover type. I want upperclassmen....I want senior and junior leaders. Build the program. Guys that instill the culture on this team. 1 and 2 year players rarely do that. That does not mean I do not want KBJ, but if Archie has a backup plan, and that plan nets us a solid 4 year player/leader. I am ALL IN! cthomas 1 Quote

There is a reason he is ranked so high and a kid is a four year player. If you can guarantee me a four year Matt Nover, I would take him. The probability of that is very small. The probability of Brooks becoming good enough to be a two year player is much higher.Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app Red1 and Stuhoo 2 Quote

Myrmidon76 Posted March 5, 2019 Posted March 5, 2019 With one and done seemingly coming to an end, perhaps turning to a longer duration type player sooner would be beneficial in the long run. I think the teams that have a true developmental culture will thrive once the one and doners are gone. Feathery 1 Quote

As @Old Friend has said numerous times, this program does not need a one and done right now. It needs guys buying into the program/team that are going to be here multiple years. With that said, if Brooks is going to be here at least two years, then I'd love to have him. If things fall into place this will be a talented, albeit young, team next year, but if guys like Hunter (healthy of course), TJD, Brooks, Phinisee, Smith (assuming he buys in), etc. are here in 2020-21 this could be a monster team. thebigweave, cthomas, theriverpilot and 5 others 8 Quote

If true; just the thought that he's considering it to me means that he has not 'decided' for UK or MSU. If he had, it would be a phone call to IU thanking them for recruiting him, and no chance of an in-person appearance two and half hours away. lillurk, BGVille Hoosierfan, thebigweave and 1 other 4 Quote

Brass Cannon Posted March 5, 2019 Posted March 5, 2019 If Message boards matter to the brooks I wonder what they think about the fact that it’s been several days and people are still spelling his name wrong down in toothless territory.

IUrocker Posted March 5, 2019 Posted March 5, 2019 Yeah, Trayce knows where’s he’s going. His tweets are just helping his buddy keep the suspense so he can have his day....just like the timing of his Kentucky visit. Sure as heck got a lot of people to think he’s going to Kentucky and keep the suspense up making them think they have no idea. I’m not saying it’s a fact he’s 100% IU, but all of this could just be devised tactics to make people keep guessing when really he’s known he has wanted IU for quite some time. Kids these days want their spotlight and like providing the suspense. BGVille Hoosierfan, HoosierAloha, thebigweave and 1 other 4 Quote

However, I haven't seen any UK and Michigan State recruits/current players reach out to Keion like TJD Armaan Romeo etc are doing. HoosierAloha 1 Quote
