It would be hilarious to see him go elsewhere though just from how declarative his commitment is to be from some people. I’m calling b.s. on this post, and perhaps you, as a poster in this community. I’m sorry, but I think any of us can justly question your legitimacy as a fan of the Hoosiers if you would ever find it even mildly amusing that a recruit like Brooks would go to another program. If you’re truly not trolling us, ask yourself two questions: 1. What motivates posts like the one quoted above? 2. What do you hope to accomplish?

We have been hearing Brooks to IU in a week or two for god knows how long. It wasn’t directed at CoachSS or whatever. It was directed at the narrative that he will commit soon for going on like four months now. Maybe he needs to quit being sensitive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

13th&Jackson Posted January 9, 2019 Report Share Posted January 9, 2019 This is an old N-S article from 2017, but it offers a good perspective. http://www.news-sentinel.com/sports/2017/11/23/keion-brooks-jr-s-parents-feel-a-different-type-of-recruiting-pressure/ Brooks Sr. took the advice of those who had been through the recruiting trail to have a plan and to make the most of the outrageous attention. He has advised his son to take advantage of the recruiting interactions with coaches. Ask them for advice. Ask them for pointers. Even though he’ll choose one college as his destination, he can improve his game during the decision process. That ends once you commit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So they are using as much of this time to get feedback on how best to improve his game and get better. Good info!!! Great post. That said he has no more official visits so it’s pretty much time to choose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your post was doing more than “stating a fact,” it had an edge to it. An angle. If you’re going to state facts in the future try to be a bit more academic. The inherent vitriol in the mere thought that it would somehow be a good thing if a highly regarded recruit spurned us just because it would show some members of this community wrong is WAY beyond stating a fact, man.

I think there are all types of posters on this board. I would say most honestly want IU to be successful again and root for our Hoosiers. That said there are people that just love stirring the pot or getting a reaction. So they get just as much satisfaction of having a hot take or being right as watching the Hoosiers be successful. Myself...as much as I am open minded and try to be objective I also like to think I know what I'm talking about or right most of the time. However, I would gladly be proven wrong if it meant IU won, or a player improves etc than not. That said....I think there are a select few who would rather be proven right or get a reaction even if it meant IU(or the kids) had to lose or be unsuccessful to prove their point. I don't think we have a lot of those people...and I am not saying they aren't IU fans..but they are fans of themselves first or to a greater degree than IU.

I have continually told folks here, through a co-worker of K’s dad, that this was not going to be a quick decision. I stated that 40 pages ago and have repeated it several times since. You have not followed the thread closely or you would never have claimed that the commitment was imminent.

There have spots here. What is the backup plan for KB? There is none because we know where he is going. CAM is too good to not have a next guy ready just in case.
