(2019) SF Keion Brooks Jr. to Kentucky

[Hoosierfan2017 22,758]

Still think iu would've been his easier path to the nba. Here, he would've gotten as many minutes as he wanted from day 1. At UK, he will have to fight just to see the court. Plus, Calipari won't hesitate to recruit over him. But, oh well. He didn't want to be a Hoosier so whatever.

Did it ever occur to anybody that in the past few weeks that Archie told KBJ that he didn't want him?

No way.

I wouldn't be so sure about that.

I will say it again ,this isn't a swing and a miss, this is a phew, that was close!  Give me someone who wants to be here and works their @$$ off!  If u want an AAU ball player Keion is your guy, to me that isn't an IU BB player!

I’m not saying by any means that they should, but is it possible that IU fires Archie?

Oh yeah. I’m sure the coach of an NIT team that’s losing its two best players is telling 5 star recruits he doesn’t want them...

Telling a OAD is what I am saying......I don't give a damn about the stars.  How did that Romeo thing work out?

Why is IU recruiting Quinones?

Romeo may have been a little disappointing (as was the entire team) but he still averaged 16 points and 5 rebounds on 45% shooting as a Freshman. He’s the best freshman we’ve had since Zeller

Absolutely

Learning lesson for Archie.  5 star prima donnas will string you along and jump at the chance to play for an "elite" program.  Screw that, go get us some players that aren't focused on their "brand", their "ego", and their NBA dreams but want to bust their ***** improving their game and winning games.

And we didn’t want him anyway talk is already shaping up

Coaching and development - that’s the name of the game now. Earn that paycheck Archie. You still have lots of talent to work with. No excuses next year.

That's not really saying much though.

But you're missing the "rub".  Romeo's 16 points were great, but now they are gone and we're right back at square one.

And always does every single time.

I would seriously hope Miller isn't that stupid.

[Bowhunter 2,851]

Because best next available. You want to be Elite, you need Elite players. Just because Romeo had some flaws doesn’t mean we didn’t need him. How good would we have been without him? Kansas, Duke,Kentucky, Michigan St, so on and so on, disagree with you.

Maybe he didn't want another one year player?

If you want to win at the level IU should expect, these are the kinds of players you need.  Which means pUKe is the caliber of program we have to beat out for them.

I think this explains the interest in a few other recruits. Is there any word if we are in good standing with anyone else?? And by the way good luck to Keion and his family.
