BobSaccamanno Posted May 6, 2018 Report Share Posted May 6, 2018 Regarding Brooks (sorry for the tangent on Davis), he continues to be right after TJD on my list of wants. Since they play together, maybe we can work this out with both. Schilling being Brooks Sr.’s Coach has to help. I like Keion’s aggressive style and demeanor, and I like the signal on in-State recruiting, particularly in a critical area in the state where it would be nice to improve our foothold. There are potential additional ancillary benefits we get from Brooks. I know we are on some guards, but I’d also be very interested in Brandon Newman and/or Alex Hemenway. Newman has improved his shooting. Hemingway can shoot and has a good attitude (interested in defense, etc). If Romeo is one and done, though, we need an immediate infusion there. Maybe Justin Hunter can be an answer. I’d doubt that Anderson could in terms of defensive quickness and handle. I suspect we have 4-5 spots in the end for that class. (Morgan, Fitzner, possibly Romeo, possibly a normal transfer or two based on anticipated PT). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it honestly makes sense for Deron to transfer. He just doesn't fit into Archie's system. And if he's not going to be healthy he could use this season to rehab while he sits out. I doubt he plays much this season anyway and if TJD comes in he might not play much next season either. A coach like Kelvin Sampson could probably do wonders with De'Ron. I just don't see it here unfortunately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zuckerkorn Posted May 6, 2018 Report Share Posted May 6, 2018 Just to piggyback on the topic of Davis redshirting, the good thing is that such a decision doesn't have to be made for several months. At the beginning of the season, the staff will have a better idea as to the extent of his recovery. Let him practice when he's able and don't play him until fully recovered. If that is slow to occur, then I can see a great benefit in going the redshirt route. Unless he's back to form, DD will be looking at either getting limited minutes and wasting a year. Of course if he redshirts, he can expect to be much closer to full strength for the following year but will likely be facing more competition for playing time. We all hope he can recover quickly and fully, however overly optimistic that might be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DocHoosier Posted May 6, 2018 Report Share Posted May 6, 2018 Archie locked up a top 10 recruiting class despite a 16-15 season with losses to Indiana State and Fort Wayne. The possibilities of 2019 recruiting class after the year we are about to have make me green with envy! Hoosiers about to make some noise Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobSaccamanno Posted May 7, 2018 Report Share Posted May 7, 2018 I read somewhere that Keion shot 40% + from three. I really like this kid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Between2Halls Posted May 8, 2018 Report Share Posted May 8, 2018 A couple of nights ago I dreamed Brooks committed to IU and said he would redshirt. I think that means I read this board a bit too much. LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

North Side was the coach's alma mater. With the players he has had, and who he has coming back, I see no sense in the decision. Something smells fishy on the near north side of Ft.

The Daily Hoosier Posted May 8, 2018 Report Share Posted May 8, 2018 Interesting quote over the weekend from Brooks. He's definitely keeping an eye on IU, but the competition is stiff and getting worse. https://www.thedailyhoosier.com/keion-brooks-jr-might-build-relationship-with-romeo-langford-to-evaluate-indiana/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bstall76 Posted May 9, 2018 Report Share Posted May 9, 2018 If Brooks keeps putting up the numbers he has been in the last few AAU events he is going to really rise up the rankings. I can see him being top 15 in the class if he can continue his outstanding play. I really want him at IU, bit we have plenty of great options we are in very good position with that he is not a necessity, but would be damn nice to have.

Max Posted May 9, 2018 Report Share Posted May 9, 2018 I enjoy hearing this kid talk. He’s very well spoken. Definitely looks like his coach was the phony, which makes me change tune on getting watford over him.... but deep down I know my boy Ed and Arch will bless us with the best.

A-hOhL Posted May 14, 2018 Report Share Posted May 14, 2018 It sounds like Kentucky may be a front runner with this kid, but who knows. May 12th Interview BUT, I also think this upcoming Hoosier Hysteria (mentioned above as a potential official visit date) will be one of the top 5 HHs in IUBB history regarding excitement, attendance, and overall hype. It may be just enough to seal the deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The interview i saw he said there is only one school that he knows is for sure going to get an official and that is IU which it will be for Hoosier hysteria. I believe as of right now IU lands Kion and Trayce. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
