(2019) SF Keion Brooks Jr. to Kentucky

[Bailey7878]

Anything can happen. But I think he is leaning the other direction or that is the info I'm getting. Hopefully bad info. 

Buzz kill!

Just trying to get your drinking started early so by the time the game starts you will be good to go.

If he chooses Kentucky, let's hope the fanbase can keep it classy.  Getting ugly about it won't bring back Keion, and won't help us land any other recruits, either. 

 

I know USPS says that a team's record doesn't matter to recruits.  But man, there's some bad energy around this team right now.  I don't think too many people will fault Keion too much.  

 

Sure would be nice to get some good news on Jerome Hunter.

I always thought this was very Possible when Brooks switched high schools.  UK missing on guys and us playing just awful basketball. He may have wanted to team up with TJD and Franklin but the longer this recruitment went, the more it felt like he was wavering, or at least his family was.

Well didnt romeo say watching an iu game in person helped him pick iu? I think clearly our level of play must be hurting us bad with brooks. Cant say I blame him when he can go play for a national title contender.

I'm just a couple of hours away from starting I know that. Even though my 13 year old tells me I have a drinking problem when IU plays. He is so right too.

At one point I was very confident in this recruitment. After a brutal couple of months I am now no longer surprised if he goes to UK. Someone said "bad energy" around this team/program and they are spot on.

I think Cal is probably selling the 2 and done to Brooks. PJ Washington is a good example of that. 

We can sell that though as well. I think we still are in a good position.

I don’t see it.

Just pour your beer in a cup lol. Or if it’s liquor, quit taking shots. I know your pain though; all kids know their dads are watching Indiana b-ball when their dads start throwing things, screaming, or slurring words.

My dog hides when she sees the IU sweatshirt come out because the screaming and throwing follows.

I think the home appeal plus his friendships with TJD and Franklin win out. Archie and Co. answer the tough questions Keion and his family are asking, and Indiana lands their guy.

Sean McNeil...

Does anyone know what level of interest Indiana has in him?

Tough kid who can score at will and bury threes all game long. 

He grew up in Union, Kentucky which is outside Cincinnati. I know West Virginia is hot on his trail and Huggins coached at UC. He’s also getting interest from Louisville (which is the same town where his first school, Bellarmine, is) and Dayton (where his current school, Sinclair, is). Even UK has been in contact with him, as has a ton of other schools. 

Does a JUCO player have to sit out a year if they leave after one year, or is he immediately available? Indiana could sure use a pure shooter, and this kid certainly fits that role well.

I’m over the whole KBJ recruitment. On to something perhaps more probable, I guess.

Anyone know anything more about the basketball future of Jerome Hunter? That could help  ease the sting of this, I believe.

You’re right, of course, about treatment of the kid. We’ll see how that goes. But here’s the thing: I want Brooks here because CAM wants him. And I would be disappointed losing a kid he wants to a school whose culture I admire. UM, Nova, UVA. That would bug me. But, I do not want, nor do I give the slightest of sh**s about losing, a kid who buys in to UK’s mercenary sensibility. Not for a single second. I don’t mean that to be critical of Brooks. If that is what he wants, congrats to him. But I don’t want it anywhere near AH.

It’s been a trying year for your dog, then. Poor thing.

Yeah, she's pretty traumatized.  I start yelling "No Devonte"  just to warm up the vocals before the game even

starts.

What about my poor liver? it's been through a lot too.

[Hoosier Guy]

TJD and Franklin are huge in this recruitment. I’ll say they’re the deciding factors in IU getting Keion. Doesn’t make me feel good with Chris saying the opposite though

I don't think anyone including the staff knows about the future of Hunter. That is what I have been told.
