I honestly wasn't all impressed with his highlight videos. There's also a guy on the Rivals site who lives in FW and claims to have seen him in person a number of times say that if there aren't at least 40 guys better than him in his class this is probably one of the weakest HS classes ever.

But do you think he'll be better as a freshman than Hunter will be as a sophomore? 247 Sports has him at #12 overall. He's #21 composite. So you've never seen him play? I saw him last year play for his high school team, and again at EYBL in April. He dominated EYBL, probably one of the best 5 players. He really controlled the floor, looked to involve others, and was just opportunistic to get his own points. He did look faaaar better than with his HS team. I've wondered elsewhere if part of his transfer to LaLu was so he could move to his more natural position of wing, instead of being the de facto PF. Will he be better than Hunter as a sophomore? Probably not. But Archie seems to want one primary ball handler, and then 4 rangy, multi-skilled combo forwards. He sells all of these guys that they'll have the opportunity to do some playmaking. Keion is good. I think in the right situation he'll do well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How many of those guys have come back in recent memory? I'm just playing the odds. I'd say 95% he's gone. For most guys what you are saying is 100 percent accurate. As we have seen Romeo is not like everyone else. He very well could and probably is a 1 and done but there are a lot of reasons why he might come back. Things to consider that may or may not be factors. Romeo will get a degree at some point. He comes from a great supportive family that is not in financial hardship. Life after the NBA is very important. Winning a championship may be the 1 that really helps us keep him. Not winning another state title might help us. The young man wants to win titles. He is very very active in recruiting the class behind him. Do not dismiss the fact that so many 5 star players are still in play. There is a lot going on behind rhe scenes and Romeo is a big part of that. How would the idea of playing with Romeo, TJD, KB,Justin Smith? Jerome Hunter DG and RP sound to a Matthew Hurt or Isaiah Stewart? Is the smart money on Romeo being a 1 qnd done yes, but this is 1 underdog that i personally would put some money on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m guessing you watched the same ones I did at the end of his AAU season. He definitely didn’t look good, but was also playing through a knee injury.

IowaHoosierFan Posted October 10, 2018 Report Share Posted October 10, 2018 Obviously Brooks plays well or he wouldn't still be considered a 5* kid. Everyone has off games. Doesn't mean he isn't a talented and worthy player to go after Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FKIM01 Posted October 10, 2018 Report Share Posted October 10, 2018 Brooks strikes me as a kid who would be OK with getting 15 minutes and gradually working up to 25 and starting as he got his feet under him. Absolutely would be ecstatic to have such a bright and well-spoken young man playing for IU. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IU Scott Posted October 10, 2018 Report Share Posted October 10, 2018 Not saying I don't want him but was replying to someone who said he would want to come in and start right away. To me he might be ranked a 5 star but he has a lot of work to do for him to come in and be a big contributor right away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cybergates Posted October 10, 2018 Report Share Posted October 10, 2018 Is this the Brooks or Leal thread? It says Anthony Leal to me, but everyone is talking about Brooks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
