(2019) SF Keion Brooks Jr. to Kentucky

[JHoosier914 1,187]

Essentially said can’t blame a 5* for going to UK, if indeed he goes to UK.  
I took it as he’s going to UK with a slight hedge in case it somehow turns out to be IU.

Well, it’s what I expected IF true. Had just hoped to hold out a slim chance of hope a little longer. Here’s to still that hope! (Raises glass full of beer if beer were had)

Same feeling I got

Even though it appears we're all resigned to the fact that Mr. Brooks will be heading to Lexington, I have a feeling these pages won't be quiet between now and March 15. 

My message, however, to the Mildcats: Beware the Ides of March!!!

He is the king of reminding people or trying to convince people he is in the know and he does so by saying a whole lot of nothing riddled with outs

Meh you don’t change your crystal ball like that if it’s truly split or 60/40. They’re giving us subtle hints. 

So they are talking to the family? Where are they getting all of this.

Agreed, the next two games are the biggest ones of the season. The year is far from over just got to beat a team we already have this season and a team we will certainly be favored against. Don’t give up quite yet folks.

We can make it but a loss tomorrow may end it.

Didn’t we hear rumblings about TJD to MSU after his signed LOI?  

I still don’t think it’s over 

[HoosierRobbie 929]

I’m just wondering what is Archie’s backup plan here? Quinones?

Jerome Hunter!

[HoosierRobbie 929]

Jerome Hunter!

I get that, but there’s also a chance he never plays again.

There’s a chance Jerome Hunter is never able to play competitive basketball again.

For a while we kind of were led to believe that Archie's fresh interest in a few recruits was due to the possibility (or likelihood) that we would have transfers at the end of the season.  Now I have to wonder if the staff were only reacting to a change of heart from KBJ.  I sure hope he didn't have the staff convinced he was coming and they, then, stopped recruiting 2019's - only to have him pull a 180 on them.

And, unfortunately, you are correct about Hunter.  There's no reason to feel fully optimistic or pessimistic about his future - I really believe everyone involved is hopeful but guarded at this point.  I truly hope he can overcome the medical issue and move forward, but only time will tell.

I would guess they could say the same to us on their board, if they knew what it means.

In fairness Mike Pegram didn't give an official prediction for TJD to MSU like he has here for UK. I'd say he knows and that this one is a wrap.

The UK guy hasn’t even made a pick. I’m still hesitant to say info has leaked

[IUrocker 2,129]

Im gonna go total optimistic and say that Peegs changed his pick to UK to help the family keep the suspense and shock the world when Keion chooses IU! (I’ve learned how to type on my phone while dreaming ).....but seriously, hopefully it’s just a guess on his part at this point and IU is still somehow in this. It’s crazy how Calipari can swoop in like this and make such an impression. Keion can go to the NBA playing for IU as well, and his friends are there. I’d like to think that in the back of Keion’s mind, he would regret letting his friends down and missing out on having fun with them. He has always said how important and a privilege it’d be to represent his home state across his chest...hopefully that doesn’t end up being all talk. More than happy to have TJD and AF onboard and already representing IU very well!!

If we do lose Brooks it’s not the end of the world. Always said that I thought TJD was more important because of the position. Man do we need Hunter to be good to go next year

If we can somehow add one of Quinones, Beverly, or solid JUCO, we’ll be in good shape even without Brooks. I’m still holding out hope that he comes to IU but that hope is dwindling quick.

The thought of having Brooks on one side and Hunter on the other would be awesome. Though when the tweet started coming out about Brooks senior saying time To be selfish, in my mind was letting Indiana fans know.
Our staff going hard after two wings shortly after Kentucky visit pretty well sums it up. Beverly and Quinones may not be the same players as Brooks, but were best available after getting intel that Brooks could now be a no.
I hate it, but Kentucky is always in it. I wish they would have landed bigger fish now. Keion would be ours.
