It would be disappointing. I just feel like he chooses the candy stripes. Hopefully people will move on quickly if he chooses elsewhere, I know I will. He is probably pro IU when being interviewed by IU reporters and probably does that for any other team. I have seen plenty of his interviews and yes he was positive towards IU but he was positive about every school. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Artesian_86 Posted March 13, 2019 Report Share Posted March 13, 2019 Weather it means anything or not, I do like that TJD retweeted Keion's #3. Maybe Trayce knows....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot of ignorant people and most of them aren't even IU fans I'm sure. A lot of the problem comes form fans on twitter and not message boards but you are right Rivals is terrible.

If it is after this current season, couldn’t he just go straight to the NBA or G-league and bypass both schools altogether? Once the age limit is lowered to 18, Cal’s college Coaching days, and I use that term very loosely, are over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It hasn't been approved yet, just NBA commish commenting about it several times over the years making it likely to happen. He or anyone can go directly to the G-League instead of school right now and be eligible for NBA draft the following year. Syracuse had a decommit that went that route this year.

Feathery Posted March 13, 2019 Report Share Posted March 13, 2019 I thought Snow and Archie are friends. If so, the idea that he is anti-IU isn’t accurate imo. Maybe he was anti-Crean. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you don’t think some of these kids can make more money by attending college than going to the G-League and never appearing on tv you’re wrong. These kids can make close to if not more than the 250k the G-league deal is worth. Not to mention their personal brand is built up by ESPN as they slobber over the likes of Duke and UK. Shoe deals that ensue would be even more lucrative than any shoe deal signed direct into g-league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FKIM01 Posted March 13, 2019 Report Share Posted March 13, 2019 I love all of the mystery...there's no fun in a decision announcement where everybody already knows the answer. For me, I'm very bullish on IU. Despite the tough middle section of the season, I think Romeo has enjoyed his time at IU and I believe that is being passed on to future recruits. No one wants to be thought of as a consolation prize and that's exactly what those hilljacks south of the Ohio river think of "Keeyon". Cal is a smooth talker, but I'll bet Keion believes what Archie tells him and that is important as well. Don't know if Keion plays 1, 2, 3 or (like #7 in his class Alex Poythress) 4 years in college, but at UK, the pressure will be on one year and out to make room for the next shiny toy. He won't feel that pressure at IU. If he excels and leaves after one year, good for him and good for IU. If he stays around to polish his game, even better. I think he ends up wearing INDIANA across his chest and not just for the annual all star series. If I'm right, it will be a happy announcement day for Hoosier Nation. If I'm wrong, there will be momentary disappointment and then most of us will move on. The IU program has a lot of talent and is on the upswing. At this point, one player doesn't make or break that momentum. ...and if anyone knows how to send Keion a few Casual Gamer Reed videos, I think that would seal the deal...

dwtaylor1055 Posted March 13, 2019 Report Share Posted March 13, 2019 One would think Brooks would prefer for his best friend to know or have a better idea as to where Keion is more than likely to go more than a recruiting expert that Keion will never talk to again after he commits I would think Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Put off the lower but immediate salary in exchange for PR/hype, which boosts future earnings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kansas, Arizona, LSU, Louisville most likely UNC, Duke, UK, etc. all pay better than the G-League. ESPN is like the campus newspaper for Duke and UK. It is disgusting.
