IU Scott Posted March 16, 2019 Report Share Posted March 16, 2019 Like I have said many times I want Iu to build their program like UNC(without the academic problems) and Villanova. They get high 4 and low 5 star players who usually stay 3 and mainly 4 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would never tell or categorize a kid at that level that he was a “ low 5” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did, but I based my opinion on what he said last fall and from a couple of local news interviews. He didn't mention his sole priority was making millions in 2 years. Jokes on me I guess! Give me players who want to come to IU to build something special. KBJ is going to Lexington for 9 months to go to a couple of easy freshman courses for a semester and pray he doesn't get hurt.

I would have liked for KB to come here but once he decided to go to prep school it kind of put a red flag up to me. I also did not like the fact that he quit on his high school team in his junior year and then came back. The games I saw him play his junior year I was not that impressed but he did improve a lot over the summer. I just want to know what could have change from when he said to Romeo why go elsewhere when you can do everything you want at IU. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heard the same thing, but most importantly, is the best "team mate" on the team too. He is selfless and supportive to to everyone on the team from top to bottom.

It would be one thing if he said something along the lines of "I want to win a national championship and UK is my best chance". Instead, he said "I want to be a OAD and make millions."

JEFFVETTE Posted March 16, 2019 Report Share Posted March 16, 2019 How about this. IF he's a OAD, that's cool. But if you look at IU and UK roster, he's better fit at UK. IU is trying to build for the future. Calipari has established himself. The two programs are in different places. They're doing good in perspective. He's going to follow his dream and UK has him, but it isn't the worst thing that could happen to IU!! I believe Archie is building a roster and KBJ is going to do whatever, because he can! This is a win for KBJ! Great! It's not a loss for either school! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seeking6 Posted March 16, 2019 Report Share Posted March 16, 2019 Going to pay a compliment to CoachSS here. Couple months back he mentioned (I'm paraphrasing) that Archie isn't going to follow the OAD approach. He would follow the Beilein approach to things. Not saying he wouldn't go after the 5 star guys but not the absolute OAD guys. Given the comments from KB Jr and his Dad maybe this was a good miss? Yes. I know what that sounds like. Kind of happy we don't have 5 star in state guys in 2020. Just go get hoops players. No pressure on recruiting until Lander. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobSaccamanno Posted March 16, 2019 Report Share Posted March 16, 2019 I liked Brooks’ game a lot. He’s got a certain skill set in a small forward we’ve not seen in a long time. I would have loved to get him considering he’s from Indiana. I’m not going to be a baby about it. He’s free to go where he wants. It is what it is. IU has no entitlement over him. I spend my time thinking about IU players or others in the conference. He’s off my radar, albeit with no ill will. I’m pretty provincial and do like home state kids. Romeo, on the other hand, came to IU of his own free will and is one of ours permanently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is all you need to know about Keions intentions. Don't get me wrong, I would love to have Keion, but not if his main focus is publicly proclaiming his goal to be OAD AND making millions.....Good grief, that is such a turn off!!! Could you imagine bringing those things up to a potential employer at an interview? It has been well documented that Cal does not develop NBA players.

Left his high school and can only talk about being oad and making money. I'm glad he went to UK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
