CapnRon Posted March 16, 2019 Report Share Posted March 16, 2019 If the fbi probe wouldn't have happened, uk would have been able to continue to pay higher 5 stars, and not have to "settle" for kbj. Funny how that ended up screwing us. Too bad he wasn't able to see that 3 months ago they didn't care about him. I wish him luck but hope Cal gets kicked out of the ncaa.

I think this all comes down to the NBA and money, and I think Cal has filled his and his parents' heads with expectations that may be difficult for him to meet that quickly. That's the way used car salesmen usually operate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iuthruandthru Posted March 16, 2019 Report Share Posted March 16, 2019 I am looking at all the mock 2020 drafts out there and no one has Broks in either round. Interested to see if his UK pick and his Play at all star games gets him there before fall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He ain't going to Kentucky to play school. All he has to do is get one semester in,play for one season then he is off to make "millions"...pretty ballsy if you ask me to make such a comment before ever playing a game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cybergates Posted March 16, 2019 Report Share Posted March 16, 2019 Only thing I'm going to say is this: It may sound like sour grapes but give me two guys willing to drive 5 to 6 hours to support a friend's announcement over a guy who chooses not to play with them for a coach who has vacated two final fours Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No ill will I just truly am interested to see if he will meet his expectations. Going to UK will instantly increase his draft stock I think, which at this time seems to be nonexistent. Good for him if he thinks he can be a OAD as honestly this is likely the best path for that. But boy do I think Cal will keep recruiting for next year. Long term KBs success or failure at UK could help or hurt the next battle for Indiana talent. This is exactly where I'm at with this. I want him to succeed because he's a good player. But if he fails or doesn't meet expectations, I hope it's all Cal's fault. Genuinely interested to see how this whole thing turns out for him though. I think CAM put so much work into this recruitment because he doesn't think KBJ is a one-and-done. We will be fine, CAM is building this the right way and the next two years will show that.

BUT: Can’t help but wonder if the Brooks family didn’t find a strange satisfaction kicking us in the gut after a disheartening season and a horrible loss, with all the IU vitriol and poison that has been spewed on Twitter this season. My point: it’s obvious that these kids’ families and friends read these message boards, so in the future, we should all be mindful of that. I’m somewhat guilty myself. This is about as far away from the feeling I thought that I would be feeling regarding IU basketball at this time, when this season began. Nevertheless, GOIU It never helps I’m sure but nobody is going to convince me that this wasn’t anything less than a business decision to better him and his family. Kentucky fans talk crap when things go wrong more than anybody. It was about best route to be wealthy. Simple as that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FKIM01 Posted March 16, 2019 Report Share Posted March 16, 2019 Honest truth...I can't remember the kid's name from Arsenal Tech who went and played at Kentucky...Trey Lyles...there it is. Just goes to show how easily forgotten are the Indiana guys who go out of state to play college ball. I genuinely struggled to remember them. I really liked Brooks...he was a likable kid, but I'd be lying if I said I hoped he did well at Kentucky. As much as I don't wish him ill, I also don't wish him great success at that cesspool. I'll wish him well as a pro, but by then, I'll likely have trouble remembering his name.😂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
