This Jr./Sr. thing is getting confusing

Selfish for Keion. Not for family.

One would think a public announcement in the state of Indiana would bode well for IU. It did with Romeo. A lot of IU fans in Fort Wayne.

You got it.we got 12 days to turn this into a romeo thread!!

Or that he's doing it for him and not his parents?

Yeah he is just saying time to do what’s best for himself. Nobody else. I think people are looking into from their own angle and over complicating his simple message.

Means he's not doing it for people in the state but for himself. Not a good sign, hope that I am wrong.

Or means he’s going to make the decision based on his own wants and not the wishes of his dad, who reportedly is pushing for UK. (Dammit! I’m falling prey to the incessant internet post code deciphering that always immediately follows a date of announcement).

It's only 12 more days and the suspense is over.  Time to...

[RatpigHoosier 1,022]

He’s going to Houston to play for Sampson. Mike Davis is going to be an assistant coach there and his son is transferring there to knock down 3s at a pace our current team can only dream about. RMK will be at the announcement ceremony and will flip the bird at the screen while wearing his comfy Texas Tech red sweater. Oh, and Luke Recker will shoot a commemorative buzzer beater while walking off the stage with a BTT trophy in his non-shooting hand. Anything I missed?

it is indeed pretty cool that he announces a decision date the day after we sweep MSU...

[JHoosier914 1,187]

If this quote is true, surprised he set a date without a firm decision yet. Must really want to get it over with. Or the date helps force him to make a decision on a specific timeline.

His dads tweet had #scholarshipsoverchampionships. Not sure if that could be a dig at IU thinking only Kentucky offer him a chance at a championship or exactly the meaning of it

Several of his tweets have that hashtag. Could be anything

[mdn82 25,510]

Been his thing for years, and FYI he is not going to IU!

And not choosing a place because of the hopes of AF or TJD to play alongside him. That was my first guess too.

We shall see. I’ve had a whole lot of guesses in my life, and some have turned out to be correct while others haven’t. Life’s full of mysteries and surprises.

In fairness, it could simply mean it’s time to focus on himself and the decision ahead of him.

And, yet again, “it’s time to be selfish” could also mean its time to focus exclusively on what he wants and not try to satisfy mom and pops.

Who knows? I certainly don’t. I’m really happy to have TJD and Franklin coming next year. I hope Race and Hunter can have a healthy season next year, and I hope Deron stays another year as well. Add Keion and I’m fully stoked. 

EDIT: I really should read through to the end of threads before replying to a comment and then realizing after it’s too late that all my thoughts have already been stated.

And furthermore, all my comments were made under the assumption that Jr made the tweet and not Sr. I’m with my brother, just name your kid a different name than your own...because it confuses the living s—t out of people.

Even though I read his comment about time to be selfish in favor of UK, the #scholarshipsovrchampionships reads in favor of IU because we prioritized Keion with UK prioritizing champions and recruiting over him.

Guys, we are all reading too much into an 18 year olds FATHERS twitter account. As much as I want KBJ at Indiana, we will find out in a little less than two weeks.

Agreed! We should close this thread down.

Mom and Brooks Jr want IU and Brooks Sr wants UK. Final decision I don’t believe has been mad this could very well be a Romeo situation with a lot of smoke but no final decision until the day of the announcement.

Yes, I'm guilty. You're absolutely right.  Although, much of this thread (and threads for other recruits) are spent speculating.  I'll wait it out quietly from here on out.
