Gradman isn’t wrong. Keion would be a huge miss. No other way to state it

So are we getting Brooks, or not?

Sticking to it. I don’t see Keion spurning IU

Random posters on Twitter have zero credibility.

I agree but this thread needed something positive 

[RatpigHoosier]

What the hell is going on? I get on here after a few hours and see that he’s pretty much committed to UK. People saying what a big miss it is. I really thought I missed something. Can we please refrain from speaking in absolutes about things that haven’t even occurred yet?

I'm a random person and I say he's going to IU.  Now I'm going to go on another board and say he's going to pUKe.  To one board, I'm going to be revered as a god.  

Dude, your godlike status is already in freaking concrete.

Tough defense, rebounding, snagging in state recruits, and a win streak to close out the year can do wonders for us older posters. Esp what we have had to witness for the last decade. Not saying Iugradman is old lol just me.

My freshman year at IU was 11 years ago. Been a fan as long as I can remember. I have never seen a championship but I hope I do someday.

Mine was 34 years ago - that seems impossible for someone so young. I had it good in my stretch. I came in with the Season on the Brink years, got to see a championship in 87 and a FF in 92 (yeah I stayed more than 4 years don’t judge).

Was at the game when RMK threw the chair and partied all night at the fountain after the championship in 87. Got to see the Alford years , Jay Edwards sweet shot, and the Calbert, Damon, Henderson and Graham teams.

Heck we even had Bill Mallory going to a bowl game about every year. We also won a soccer championship.

Was a great time to be a Hoosier.

Brooks to IU just seems logical...That'll be the result imo..

I loved my time at IU but man did we have a different sporting experience. I started in the fall of 06 and graduated in the spring of 2011. I had to watch the collapse of the EJ team followed by 6, 12, and 13 win seasons coupled with a football team that routinely lost to Ball State. God I hope those days are behind us for good.

I was an IU student when Coach Lou Watson won the recruiting battle for George McGinnis and Steve Downing in 1969. Keion Brooks and Trayce Jackson-Davis would be a somewhat comparable recruiting coup, though McGinnis was in a class by himself--arguably the best player to put on an IU uniform.  Freshman couldn't play back then but McGinnis led the Big Ten in scoring and rebounding his Sophomore and only year at IU before signing with the Pacers as a "hardship" case as they were called then.  McGinnis, Downing, and Joby Wright--three high school All Americans--weren't enough as IU had a disappointing season leading to Watson's dismissal and the hiring of Bobby Knight. In other words, don't expect too much next year even if IU snags Brooks.

Nice transition to roll this thread back to Keion Brooks Jr.

It’s early Wednesday and there is still not glaringly credible chatter out of Fort Wayne. I am not saying IU or UK, but it doesn’t seem like the people making definitive guesses or the Crystal Ball would have snowballed (only time I trust it).

So, in the alternative, we will spend the day reveling in glaringly incredible chatter!

Finally!!  A rumor!

I am 75% happy :)

Here me out! Just a thought. Brian snow seems like he's getting his information from family. Peegs, Snow & Rabjohns are saying that he's leaning to UK. All three seem to be extremely close to the family. I think they already know that he's already IU bound. Could they be doing this in attempt to keep the suspense for the Brooks family by saying that Kentucky leads .All three have said that he's leaning to UK but that Archie is still in contact with Brooks daily. Maybe it's a reach but none of them will say that it's completely over.

Or ... it could be; just might be, that Peegs, Snow, and Rabby are telling the truth: that they think he's leaning toward UK but that the family hasn't given a definitive answer, that Archie is in contact every day, and that there is still potential for either school.

Now THAT would be a freaky theory!  lol
