[Uspshoosier]

Where is it being said he could possibly make a visit?

Rabjohns mentioned it could be a possibility in chat last night

Wow; surprised to hear that, but definitely a positive sign if true.

If true; just the thought that he's considering it to me means that he has not 'decided' for UK or MSU. If he had, it would be a phone call to IU thanking them for recruiting him, and no chance of an in-person appearance two and half hours away.

If Message boards matter to the brooks I wonder what they think about the fact that it’s been several days and people are still spelling his name wrong down in toothless territory.

BTW between TJD and Franklins mom the social media blitz is on

Sweet. I am on the baseline by the IU bench. Will keep an eye out.

Yeah, Trayce knows where’s he’s going. His tweets are just helping his buddy keep the suspense so he can have his day....just like the timing of his Kentucky visit. Sure as heck got a lot of people to think he’s going to Kentucky and keep the suspense up making them think they have no idea. I’m not saying it’s a fact he’s 100% IU, but all of this could just be devised tactics to make people keep guessing when really he’s known he has wanted IU for quite some time. Kids these days want their spotlight and like providing the suspense.

I don't look into recruits on social media that much. However, I haven't seen any UK and Michigan State recruits/current players reach out to Keion like TJD Armaan Romeo etc are doing.

Hopefully what Keion was waiting for was to see if Archie could right the ship

I agree with this to an extent, but just to play devils advocate, maybe their recruits/players aren't reaching out because they feel comfortable with KBJ to UK/MSU and ours are reaching out because they feel him slipping away?  Again, I know no information other than what has already been stated here, I just enjoy the conversation and banter....

 

Personally, I feel like he is 60/40 or 70/30 leaning towards UK, but IF a visit happens this weekend and he IS still open, it could change things.

My memory might be deceiving me, but didn't Wilkes visit Tom Crean/IU just to tell them in person he wasn't coming?  Or did that not happen?..

I think it’s as simple as he doesn’t have a relationship with any of the recruits at UK or MSU.

As simple as this seems, I think you're probably spot on.

[JHoosier914]

By the way, interactive activities in which I can check the message boards all day makes me really enjoy teaching.  Need to plan more of these during the BigTen Tournament and March Madness.

[IUrocker]

Yeah I don’t think he has relationships with MSU/KU players like he does with the IU commits. Plus I don’t see their tweets as thinking he is slipping away from them. I see it as they are playing along with the suspense he wants, and they think throwing subtle tweets out will make people think me must still be wide open and undecided, when really, he’s not.

Hmm in my high school we always just watched the tourney games. Looking back it probably should have been concerning but screw it March Madness

Just like TJD, Keion has known for quite a bit of time before the actual commitment

i'm thinking pop quiz and put the games on to keep the kids quiet.  BUT, I like in pUKe country, so if their game is one, that wont be showed.

This close to his announcement date, I don't see him taking a visit.

I doubt it happens, but my whispers were confirmed in peegs chat I see. Not sure what's being said over there, I don't like paying the cost honestly, but I'm sure others could provide more in depth info. I was just told win at Illinois & a few kids could be making the trip including Keion. I'm hoping Quinones or Beverly make the trip in all honesty. Brooks is likely 90% sure of where he wants to go right now.

If they could get Brooks, Beverly, and Quinones to visit that would be incredible.
