KDB Posted January 4, 2019 Report Share Posted January 4, 2019 Keion said Kentucky Commit Tyrese Maxey will text him stuff like: "Blue is better than red." I wonder why he says red. Keion also said that the IU visit was crazy, and was something he has never experienced before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tyrese sounds like Dean's list student at Kentucky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Muckraker Posted January 5, 2019 Report Share Posted January 5, 2019 IU has zero scholarships available at the moment. Brooks cannot sign an LOI until the spring signing period. Why would it make sense for him to verbally commit, now, when there is no guarantee there will even be an opening for him? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There will be an opening regardless if he commits now and signs his NLI in the spring or waits until the spring period. When a 5 ⭐️ wants to play for a team, a spot will open somehow, someway.

Romeo could return for a 2nd season(no insider info here just a gut feeling). If Brooks chooses IU, and Romeo thinks they can win a banner he will return for one more year. A national title is very important to him, more so than it is to others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoosier987 Posted January 5, 2019 Report Share Posted January 5, 2019 There’s no reason to rush for Brooks. Let him enjoy the process There will be room for both Brooks, and Watford — for that matter, if Romeo chooses to stay another year. As someone mentioned, you make room for 5 stars. If Brooks commits and Romeo stays (which you never know) I expect us to be top 5 next year. Imagine a starting lineup of; Phinisee Langford brooks Smith TJD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steubenhoosier Posted January 5, 2019 Report Share Posted January 5, 2019 As I stated way earlier in this thread, I am friends with a guy who works with KJB’s dad. Way back on p. 20 or whatever, I said that he wasn’t in any hurry to commit. Move ahead to present, and that dynamic hasn’t changed. He also said that the announcement down to 6 was a joke. He said that it is 3, and that one just lost their coach. Didn’t stipulate, but think it’s us and UNC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dgambill Posted January 5, 2019 Report Share Posted January 5, 2019 It sucks for this year but maybe the best thing to happen for the recruiting of Brooks is that no one has seen how good Hunter is. Not even sure Brooks can start over him. As it is it seems he is replacing Romeo in the lineup but it isn’t that straight forward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DocHoosier Posted January 5, 2019 Report Share Posted January 5, 2019 Brooks and Hunter can play alongside one another. That starting lineup could feature 4 above 6’6”! Good luck Big 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Romeo continues to struggle with his shot further than say 12 feet from the rim and 3 point shooting, he will struggle in the NBA for a bit. He’s still able to get by a good chunk of defenders in college, but in the NBA not a chance like he is today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
