(2019) SF Keion Brooks Jr. to Kentucky

[rcbowla 7,645]

So checked this thread and noticed I was about 9 pages behind. In my mind that meant I must have missed some good stuff. Reality is nope just a lot of arguing about minors partying and long drives. Cool

That top 5 recruit isn't going to be here next season, and we've gone 17-15 in the time we were fortunate enough to have him. We have two players coming in next season, only one of which will start. Recruiting momentum may not be lost, but I wouldn't say it's trending favorably right now either.

Yes, I’m talking about recruiting momentum. Romeo and TJD back to back is the farthest thing from zero momentum.

So what FACTS do you have to counter?

Counter what?  I postulated a theory. A possible explanation for these kids driving. There’s no proof it’s a theory based on reality. 

The fact they are going doesn’t automatically mean it’s good for IU 

[Uspshoosier 50,939]

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

And tons of athletes don’t do it. That’s the real world

So I log back on to check for new info and I get to sift through 2 or 3 pages of people arguing about whether Trayce is going to get popped tonight. I'm not sure any recruitment has ever been this tight lipped.

Yeah so?  Doesn’t mean it’s not a possibility.

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

Never played basketball at that level. If I had a golf tournament the next day I doubt I’d be making that trip unless I knew something or the circumstances were right. But..

I did get so hammered the night before a tourney that I showed up hungover and stumbling to the first tee without any warmup. Ha!

What's up, dudes!

 

Just checking in.  Hoping we can get Keion.  Contemplating what even is Indiana basketball, from a philosophical perspective.  I think it might be pain.  

 

This case has been taken over by people arguing with Brass Cannon.  I have no idea why, but the guy has become a troll tonight.  So just don't feed the troll.  

 

I think Chris and Pap already told us that they won't have access to information on this one, based on who their respective sources are.  So don't act like they're letting us down for not coming in with a definitive answer.  

 

While you wait:

I'm guessing that wasn't the night before Semi-state/state?

I drove 4 hours once to help a friend bury his dog. We buried the little guy then I turned around and drove 4 hours back. That was during college so I’m sure I had something the next day.

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

I don’t know why I’m indulging this, but let’s make a hypthothetical timeline.

1) Keion announces at 8

2) Media obligations and talking to others he knows there lasts until 9:30

3) Somehow and inexplicably Keion breaks from his entire family immediately afterward and the three of them find a place to drink together by 10

4) They drink from 10 to 12:30 AM

5) TJD then begins the multi-hour drive home drunk

6) TJD gets home at 3:00 AM the night before a semi-state game

There are almost zero universes in which this is a remote possibility

Good lord guys. Do we need to make an underage drinking thread?

This is getting ridiculous. 

[HoosierAloha 30,100]

I'm guessing that wasn't the night before Semi-state/state?  

No, night before the last day of the tourney and I was 2 shots off the lead. I had started drinking almost immediately after the round before and didn’t stop until about 4 hours before my tee time. It was for a championship though. I had issues back then.

It could could be a possibility just like it’s a possibility the 2 future teammates are driving up to watch a 3rd teammate commit. And the next day 2 future teammates drive from Fort Wayne to Washington to another one play a semi-state. Who cares why they are going. He is either coming or not

After Romeo, I’ll never let a recruit get my hopes too high or too low.

This season was one of the roughest in a long time after winning the prize recruit that is likely leaving now to the NBA after accomplishing basically nothing.

Zeller’s impact spoiled me to what 5 star freshmen can do.

But let’s see.

Yogis freshman year. Wasn’t ready to dominate. Became great.

Vonleh’s freshman year. Physical force that was missing chemistry and polish.

Zeller. Stud.

Romeo. Wasn’t really ready for the spotlight he commanded.

Who knows about the next batch. I know I’d enjoy watching Keion and TJD play together especially if it became a 2 or 3 year thing.

Archie needs to either recruit like Sean and continually land enough studs to win regardless or coach em up.

At this point I’m reserved on both accounts and rightfully so.
