At a certain you stop when it's a lost cause. Or they want Nanji and know they have him. That would be a blow to Turdue. They were really hoping to make Nnaji their 2019 centerpiece. EDIT: He doesn't even show an MSU offer on 24/7. UK and Kansas considered co-favorites for Nnaji. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I might be way off base on that line of thinking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FKIM01 Posted November 16, 2018 Report Share Posted November 16, 2018 Either way, it would appear that the Keion to MSU star is fading significantly based on new developments. If we can keep Keion from that turd south of the Ohio River, I don't see any other serious contenders. With UCLA you have distance and a bad coach, With North Carolina, you have distance and an unwillingness to start freshmen. With UK, you run the risk of being banished to the bench when the next shiny thing commits and you have no real evidence that UK's program improves draft stock. I'm feeling good about IU's chances, but you never know when a recruitment will take an unexpected twist... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CapnRon Posted November 16, 2018 Report Share Posted November 16, 2018 I'm a little confused why MSU would cancel a visit, it can't be that much work to host a kid. And this bs about him not being ready is silly. Stay home Brooks! We'd love to have you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FKIM01 Posted November 16, 2018 Report Share Posted November 16, 2018 As has been referenced by others above, there are only two reasons and neither one makes MSU a contender...they either feel like they have no chance (waste of resources) or they have someone else at his position locked up and are pulling the offer.

greg haggard Posted November 17, 2018 Report Share Posted November 17, 2018 Michigan State has canceled Keion Brooks Jr.' visit. Must be a reason, but it looks better for us now. Seems to be us and Kentucky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoosierdave Posted November 17, 2018 Report Share Posted November 17, 2018 I'd love for the reason for the cancellation be due to Izzo getting the impression KBJ's not going to MSU, but I wonder if it has something to do with the fact that Rocket Watts hasn't signed his LOI yet.

dgambill Posted November 17, 2018 Report Share Posted November 17, 2018 So with Hall and Watts committed they may only have one more spot...maybe they are holding out for Carey or Stewart? Either way maybe they are happy with what they have and moving on. Maybe it was like with Newman and Armaan..only one spot and Hall took it and now they are cooling off. No matter what I’m happy! I hope with Hunter going down for us it isn’t something more ominous and making Brooks even more a must get. I’d like to see them both play together next year.

They accuse every one else of cheating if they lose a recruit. But they reload with a new group of blue chips every year and have the dirtiest coach in the game. Cal doesn't develop anyone. He's a elite recruiter but not an elite coach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max Posted November 17, 2018 Report Share Posted November 17, 2018 Is UNC not a legit contender? I really thought they were but given the lack of mentions from everyone, you’d think differently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FKIM01 Posted November 17, 2018 Report Share Posted November 17, 2018 I don't think they are. Roy won't even start Nassir Little. Elite recruits notice stuff like that and I think it's going to bite him in the butt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CapnRon Posted November 17, 2018 Report Share Posted November 17, 2018 Was watching some Brooks highlights, seems like him and TJD would slide right into Morgan and Romeos role when they leave. Might be a perfect fit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
