Thanks for posting. One thing I see is that this kid needs some pounds packed on but his skill is obvious. The other I thing I see is that TJD has some good court awareness and ability to pass out of the low post.

Hey Chris, is it going to be an either or situation? TJD is a far different position. Wonder if or why we wouldn’t/couldn’t take on both?

Yes they will take both. I think TJD is a fall signing and Brooks is a spring.

Can't sign until next spring unless he reclassified and that would not be good for IU if he did because we are out of scholarships. So he will be a spring signing with someone next spring because he wants to drag out the process.

My wife works with one of his family members.  It doesn't sound like Brooks is in any hurry to decide, and she did not get any feedback as to who is leading.

I think tjd wouldn’t like Matthew hurt coming to iu. Brooks/watford are 3/4s

It’s pretty obvious IU wants all three of Watford, Brooks and TJD. And that’s the right way to go. Get a PG to go with those three and it’s an excellent class

Honestly I think those two could coexist. They are both 4/5 types.

If that happens it's only a matter on time before someone starts the "miller(ing)" thread since we would need someone to transfer to take in 4 players.

And if RL stays for another year (doubtful), 2 would have to transfer.

While I agree, there are a lot of "what-ifs" out there. Davis' injury, someone leaving to go pro early, and someone just transferring out. I don't want to see it but it would also be possible to have a 3 recruit class and another spot open.

After this spring and swing some highlights Keion is an intriguing prospect. He would definitely be playing as a big wing. I like the chemistry he already has with Jackson Davis. That would be a great high-low combo.

I don’t think Romeo staying 2 years is far fetched at all either. Could be looking at that scenario

He’s already projected as a top 5 pick. It’s extremely far fetched. Just not impossible. Highly highly improbable.

I hope he is the #1 pick. I hope he plays out of his mind and we win every game.

IU Bookends at '76 and '19

[HoosierDYT]

With the way Keion has been playing lately he’s becoming one of my most wanted recruits opposed to someone last year who I wanted the least. He’d fit perfectly in the system

Interesting news given there was some kind of disagreement last season between the Brooks family and Khaliq.  Also wonder if it will have any bearing on Brooks transferring to a prep school for his senior year which is a rumor that has bounced around.

(Fort Wayne) News-Sentinel.com has learned that Shabaz Khaliq will exit after eight seasons as head coach of the North Side boys basketball program. The news was first reported by Troy Derengowski of RadioTroy.com in Richmond.

Khaliq is expected to be named the new head boys basketball coach at Richmond High School during a school board meeting in Richmond on Wednesday. Located just less than 100 miles south of Fort Wayne via US-27, Richmond is coming off an 8-27 season. The Red Devils endured three consecutive seasons under Rick Wedlow before his resignation on March 14.
