Maybe now they're realizing Cal isn't going to invest much in KBJr. Getting much playing time next season will be a challenge, but if UK lands a top 10 kid in his position in 2020 class, KBJr will be riding the pine again. But decommitment now is easier said than done. By doing so, he'd be labeled as a coward when he hasn't even stepped on the court and competed against other elite players for playing time. My 2 cents is KBJr is stuck with UK for the upcoming season, and if UK lands a high flying small forward in 2020 class, he may transfer and sit out a year. Boogie Ellis just got his release from Duke last week. That was after Tre Jones announced he was coming back. Ellis saw he wasn't going to get the PT he was promised by K. So he made that same decision that Brooks could make. And to get back on topic... Ellis is at Memphis today. Makes me wonder how close LQ is paying attention. Oh man can you imagine Ellis committing today and stealing LQ's spotlight decision night? Go Hoosiers!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I do not really see him decommiting at this point. Also, I do not see him sitting out a year and staying in college three years. My guess is he will go pro no matter what after one year and likely will not get drafter. Daddy Brooks seems sold one being one and done. But to Cal Brooks was never high option. He only offered him because they missed on other prospects and now is recruiting over him. Cal I a very smooth salesman and he sold them a vision that they ate up.

I also love how the LQ thread has been hikacked by Brooks chat so as to not have to see his actual topic back on the first page. LQ is announcing today and he’s hardly been talked about at all today. 😂 That will change a lot if LQ says he's coming to IU! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So one of my undergrad majors was Russian, at IU, which has one of the top slavics/Russian programs in the country. CIA would recruit us, came to campus. So as I was packing my bags for law school one day, the phone rings and it's the CIA. He asks if I'm interested in a follow up meeting and possibly working for the CIA. I say no thanks. He then asks me, deadpan: "Are you a communist?" No really. True story. So lots of flip remarks and jokes come to mind, and then I think wait, I'm talking to the CIA on the phone. So I answer: No, I'm not. End of story. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OGIUAndy Posted May 10, 2019 Report Share Posted May 10, 2019 The funny thing is most of these guys that we get amped up over, you never hear about them again. Some you do, most you don't. Because of social media, this stuff has taken on a life of its own and feels like losing, but it's really par for the course. It's more fun when you get them, but not the end of the world if you don't. It's really the player's loss. If you'd rather play at a commuter school instead of IU, good luck to you. In by that I mean, bad luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
