I appreciate you guys that have my back. You can’t please everyone and I don’t expect to with my comments. It’s getting tiring of people complaining for no reason though. But I’m not gonna get into big arguments because of it. I just thank the people that actually take the time to enjoy my posts

I respectfully disagree. The top in-state players are must gets. It is of utmost importance to protect this state. IU won’t get back to elite status until they protect the homegrown talent

Yeah I get that man. I want the top instate talent too, but if we're getting comparable talent from out of state then I won't be upset. So like, if Brooks goes to MSU but we get Watford then I'll be happy.

I’ve been on record saying the 2019 class has to include at least one of Brooks and Watford. I want both but if it comes down to just one, I want Brooks. And that’s because he’s a nationally ranked in-state player. But I agree with that example

Yes I believe that to be true. Romeo, Brooks, and TDJ are must gets and the gravy is out of state like Hurt, Watford and others. Arch gets that much more than the previous staff.

You both have different opinions and shared those opinions on this board. I don't see that as arguing. You both made good points.

Bryce Drew isn’t recruiting Brooks, is he? 

No he is recruiting bigger fish for that class. They have already had Wiseman on campus for an unofficial

Didn't wiseman just fail to qualify for his HS season

He is eligible now

 

Five-Star Big Man James Wiseman tells me he is now eligible to play this high school season at Memphis East (TN).

I’m not talking about the in-state player discussion. That’s a good discussion

I don't think Brooks is a must get for us. But starting to feel people like he is for Schilling. If we miss out on Romeo Schilling will have failed to get us a recruit.

Keion Brooks game-high 28 points to lead Fort Wayne North to a 73-69 road win at Indianapolis Tech.   Picked up his 4th foul with 3'45" left in the 3rd; don't know how long they kept him on the bench but FW led 42-36 when he went to the bench and trailed 52-53 when he re-entered.

Brooks also with 16 reb. and 4 blks.

Brooks would be a huge loss if IU doesn’t get him

I agree but I think TJD is the most important recruit in the class due to his position.

TJD is a monster. I agree there. IU needs to get both of these guys

I think we'll get TJD.  Brooks is more iffy although we have as good a shot as anyone I believe. 

[WayneFleekHoosier]

If we are lucky enough to get Brooks and TJD it would be a stellar class.

My recruiting confidence and swagger is back to meek. 2019 is a long way off and Brooks is being recruited by all.

Brooks and FW North dominate FW Blackhawk Christian 67-41.  Brooks with 21 pts. and 13 reb.  Brooks and teammate Austin Boucher (everybody remember that name?) collided early in the 1st Q and Brooks had to go to the locker room and did not return until the start of the 2nd Q.  And FWIW, Boucher had 14 pts.
