Let’s not get too excited.

I agree. That being said, this is a huge indication IMO

[IUHoosier5]

I saw Franklin was going to tonight’s announcement yesterday. It wouldn’t make any sense for two of our commits to watch their friend commit to our least favorite program.

Yes, I hate UK more than Purdue.

I don’t really think that seals it but it can’t be bad news.

My head says there are so many things that favor IU but I’m never confident when puke is involved. I won’t even be 100% certain until he signs the LOI. Puke might make a call to remind him that he had a “scholarship offer.”

If it wasn't for Rabby/Peegs I would think he would be a slam dunk for IU.

I wouldn't get my hopes up.  I still fully expect pUKe; I hate those hilljacks.

I think it’d be different if Trayce and Armaan were going to support their friend as kids who were NOT already committed to the school Keion may announce. The fact that Trayce and Armaan are going and are committed players to a team in his top 2 has to mean something positive for us. Who knows, Keion could have contacted them himself to tell them they ought to come....and if he DID do that, then why would he pick the rival school?

Yeah its tough to say. Matbe they are just supporting him or have no idea either way. But if hoosier guy says iu i gotta go with that.

I agree. I just can’t see him not picking IU when both of TJD and Armaan will be there

He has no information though, aside from himself anyway.

Kentucky board saying he has told to Kentucky staff of his commitment to UK. Ahhh… Who the hell knows.

Best friends are best friends, but if it’s UK, I don’t understand TJD being there, especially the night before semi state or Armaan either for that matter.  It’s a head scratcher to me.

Hey, entire coaching and training staff and anyone else in the room  - don't tell ANYONE, and I mean ANYONE, but I'm coming to UK.  Keep it a secret, OK - I mean it!

perhaps he wants to kick off the rivalry with a bang! [emoji846]

The news of Armaan also attending is certainly encouraging but let's not lose sight of the fact the Brooks and Franklin families are personal friends and not just linked solely via basketball.  Just need to temper our expectations for another 5 1/2 hours.

Well, you have to admit, the LaLu team and managers have never said a word.   lol

[HoosierDYT]

Since both trayce and armaan are attending and it’s open to the public in Indiana, I’m surprised we haven’t seen a few crystal balls switch. This really seems like an announcement where the experts have no clue and pick Cal because of his track record

I highly doubt he told Franklin or TJD where he's going.

Pretty sure we debunked that guy during the Crean saga two years ago. Ft Wayne reversible jacket guy who wants to feel important. He wasn't quite Jack Wang, but he had some tweets out there then where he was fishing for RTs/Likes and attention.

Thank you... I wasn't sure about this, I knew Brooks & TJD were really good friends but wasn't sure how close Franklin & Brooks were.... if they were new friends I could see this being a big deal, but if they are longtime family friends it could be that they want to show their support for his decision no matter what.
