I wouldn't put that label on him, at least not exclusively.

There's a good chance his parents have more to do with this than he does.

All the more reason to be thankful.  Parents can be cancers.

If things had gone well this year I really think he would be at IU. Unfortunately, Cal keeps rolling and producing 1st round picks. I have no doubt Keion's parents believe he will be exactly that after one year. He probably believes it too. 

If Anthony Edwards had committed to Kentucky instead of Georgia then Brooks would probably have gone to IU too. Crean's recruiting continues to haunt us

Lol, this dude is a hoot. He almost instantly resorted to "I didn't post that, someone else did under my account". Lol, own up to being an idiot wishing injury on a soon to be a college freshman. Some people just should maybe not consider watching sports, since they can't really handle it apparently.

On Rupp Rafters they are now hoping for the entire Tennessee team to get AIDS.  I'm not kidding.

Agreed, it definitely hurt our chances.

The problem is fans always pump up players they have never seen play. IU fans do it alot and its totally unrealistic.

which in turn makes us pump up the team and have unrealistic expectations. i remember talking with my son early in the season about IU making the final 4. wow, do i feel stupid!

Its simple.

1. Cal sold him hook line and sinker on being a one and done and getting him to the nba. Basically he bought the sales pitch.
2. He can also compete for a national title at Kentucky.
3. All IU had to offer was playing time.

Do I think he will be a first round pick after one year? No I do not but cal is a world class salesman.

Archie is like Cal’s lil 2nd cousin or something and was consulted before Archie took the IU job. Guess all’s fair in love and war.

Cal is slimy. He will do whatever it takes but I am glad to see he lost today.

Yeah, made my statement about this before the announcement. Don't cheer for the school or it's players. Hell, goes for Duke and UNC too. There is a long list of very good players from our state that I've washed my hands of throughout the years starting with Kyle Macy etc.. Now, once in the NBA...sometimes a different story.

When is the Nips not inebriated?

I do get it though. Down here, I was raised thinking puke was the devil. They are but I still wish Keion all the best. Now for that cheating program..

I think dad had a big role in this decision. Not gonna lose any sleep.Will be interesting to see what kind of minutes Keion gets.

[ap2345 7,845]

All I’m saying about Brooks is that he struggled last year against Romeo and this year against Galloway. Is he talented? Yes but I don’t see a one and done and something about him always rubbed me the wrong way and I’m not sure why. IU will be fine as long as Hunter is healthy which is a big if at this point.

We would have been better with Keion Brooks than without him. But the team's performance in January and February hurt us. Had Brooks announced in the fall like Jackson-Davis did we probably would have gotten him. But we didn't. I'm sure he will do well at Kentucky--maybe not one and done--but he will contribute positively. Time to move on. We have a strong enough roster to do better next year even if we add nobody else. Players have to improve upon their weaknesses over the summer. Hopefully nobody transfers and everyone is healthy. And, hopefully everyone buys in and the coaching staff figures out better how to run a more dynamic offense.  I'll be cheering on the team in the NIT and I'm looking forward to a better season in 2019-2020.

I was one of Brooks biggest early critics when it came to his attitude, effort, and skill level. I felt as though he was very similar to Wilkes and potentially would have trouble living up to his rating. That said he impressed me last summer and this year. It’s a miss. Nothing more and nothing less. It’s gonna happen when you go up against the schools we are for players. I personally feel some are overdramatizing the miss like it’s the end of the world. While a good player he isn’t the difference in 5-7 wins like some of you are acting. That’s absurd. That would put him on Zion Williamson’s level and he is not that. It’s a miss. Nothing more and nothing less.
