(2019) SF Keion Brooks Jr. to Kentucky

[Bowhunter 2,851]

He has a brother that is a legend here!  He had plenty of visits when he was young and saw IU on the UP!  He doesn't need a visit!

I know he was here as a child, but he hasn’t visited recently and we haven’t been watching his games. It’s not rocket science!

Yeah, everyone should take the negative post like others have. Lets fire a coach after two years. Make it impossible for the next coach to recruit anyone besides one and dones. 

Not negative, realistic. And ego said fire Archie.

Last I checked, we are full up.

Then why go after Brooks?

You tell me.  But the fact remains, right here right now, we are full up.

Being a child watching IU is why i'm the fan i am now!  I know we didn't have the same success when CWAT was here,but damn, him being here when he was little had to have some lasting memories.

2 1/2 years ago, i'm sure.

[Bowhunter 2,851]

OMG people quit trying to twist everything no matter what into a positive. Some things just suck. 

It’s like nobody can handle the truth. We have to make this into a positive to cope. We lost a recruit to Kentucky. Wasn’t the first time, won’t be the last.
This one stings and Brooks would have been a big addition to next years squad. Hopefully something good will fall our way for once. Right now it just plain sucks!

Maybe the LSU news landed us Watford?

I have not heard anything on watford and iu in months. Didnt even know we were still in it

Eventually perhaps.  But until the program has been rebuilt and you're in a position to attract those kinds of players (not just ones from Indiana), it's a losing approach IMO.

Agreed. I think TJD always wanted to go to iu but in most cases we will lose these battles as an NIT team.

I wasn't big on boards until after Crean was fired so Romeo, TJD, and Keion are the biggest recruits I have followed. Wish him well. It stinks because IU was the leader for a while in this recruitment. Have to move on. Rob and Al need an offseason like many of our players had in 2011. Love TJD and Armaan. Archie needs a shooter and a wing and it'll make me feel a lot better about next year and the year after. Honestly this would not hurt if we knew 100% Jerome was good to go. 

2nd thing-deleting the Peegs account. I just felt like they led you on. They'd create another thread if Keion farted. That chat never worked for me either. I also like interacting with you all. The people on that board seemed ruthless and nasty. It's also strange no UK beat writers were there but Rabjohn's and Peegs were.

While IU was in his top 5 or 6, I think IU focused elsewhere and it has showed. I think LSU, Memphis, and Alabama are probably ahead of IU right now.

Joking but when does Archie say screw competing in Indiana and go straight Crean and try to dominate some other area code?

Sean sure as heck landed some big fish with the FBI breathing down his neck. Nico Manion is amazing. Makes our guards look pedestrian.
Can we just have Sean’s class?

Because its not a big deal to kentucky. They will just go find another 5 star.

How is telling people how to think being realistic.....?

[iubb 3,239]

Also. Recruiting won’t be around much longer. If the NBA /NBAPA GET a deal to lower the draft age to 18.

Any 5 star HS “recruit” will go straight to the NBA. and the only ones that will go to college will be lower rated “recruits”

Pretty sure I said can. That’s more of a question than a command. 

We’ve missed the tourney 3 years in a row. Look to be worse next year, our development of players is pretty much nill as seen from this year and we just lost a prized recruit to a school that in the 80s was our rival but has surpassed us so completely the very thought is laughable to every other fanbase. Pretty sure it’s not the time for worthless sunshine pumping.

I’ve been at a comedy show. I’m here to eat my crow. I really thought Keion would be a Hoosier. Just a bad couple of days

You can hop off of the board and enjoy yourself HoosierGuy. The comedy show is mostly over.
