(2019) SF Keion Brooks Jr. to Kentucky

[woodenshoemanHoosierfan 6,528]

What all American high school basketball player is going to go out drinking the night before semistate? Especially one whose step dad is a cop. 

That is my question. If he does that, I don't think I really want someone at IU who would go out drinking the night before a big game, especially a Tournament game.

Him only being the #7 overall player is the actual insane thing here

Did you go to school with any McDonald's all americans? If that's the kind of judgment TJD would have (which I don't think it is) then we'd have bigger problems than where Keion decides to go to college. 

Lol ok. Your right athletes nowadays only drink warm milk after 7 and are in bed by 10:30. My mistake

300,000 dollars will cause the crystal ball to be wrong

Oh I forgot high schoolers especially athletes don’t party or drink. How could that have slipped my mind. 

You guys struggling to twist every fact as having some wonderful meaning for IU will be sorely disappointed 

Not really he will either pick IU or he won’t. Either way tomorrow at 6 I will be watching Center Grove trying to go to their 1st state title game. Hopefully TJD doesn’t party too hard up in Fort Wayne (sarcasm button)

That TJD and Armaan going can be explained by them being good friends and not anything good for IU. Then you went psycho like an ex girlfriend 

It’s easy for me to buy the narrative that they want to support their good friend regardless of his decision.

The idea that they are going to hang out, especially considering TJD’s circumstances, is borderline idiotic.

The money for Zion’s family from Clemson was kind of out there. I guess people didn’t see him going to Dook for nothing...

Can we split this thread between pessimists and optimists?  Good lord...

You don’t think they will hang out afterwards. Yep let me drive 5 hours round trip for us not to even hang. Lol

Why do you keep ignoring the fact that he's playing for a state championship berth tomorrow? Would it be unreasonable if we were in the elite eight to expect an IU player to not go out drinking the night before we played for a final four berth?

[JHoosier914 1,275]

We’re arguing over what a friend being at his announcement means to a college. I get the speculation, but we’re all on the same team—the team that wants IU to succeed. Let’s not attack each other.

Personally, I think his choice is UK, and I’m preparing myself to read it tonight. But, no need to get defensive for someone disagreeing with your viewpoint, whichever side of the fence you’re on.

Tom Coverdale for one. Although his dad wasn’t a cop

Then he would have poured in a cool 40.

And tons of athletes. Tons do it. That’s the real world.

While I guess they could hangout before, it's not likely they'd have much time afterwards. It's not like Brooks will make the call and then immediately head over to Applebee's with his bud's. He's going to have a ton of media obligations following the announcement, which will take a considerable amount of time.

Maybe if they ride the bench. This isn't Blue Mountain State. Trayce didn't work all season to show up to semistate hungover after getting hammered the night before.

Who said he was going to get hammered. It’s possible to socialize with your buds and not get hammered.

So he gets out of school around 4 and hits the road immediately. He gets there around 6:30 and they hangout for an hour. After the announcement, Keion spends some time in interviews and they hangout for another hour or so. That’s 5 hours of driving for a few hours of hanging out.

And to be there for their friend...  Do people on this board not have friends they would do this for?
