Just saw that he has scored 2 points in each of his last three games. Wonder how “daddy Brooks” is feeling ? I wish the kid the best but have to think things are not going as they planned. I've made some pretty whatever comments on this whole situation. Guess I'm moving to the just wish the kid well camp....not completely there yet. Still waiting for Brian Snow to write a follow up article on the abuse Brooks is taking from fans at UK calling him a bust,etc...since he made some of our fans believe last year that's the reason he went elsewhere. I just hope whoever helps him with his next big time decision just doesn't fall hook, line, and sinker for the biggest con going. No minutes, no run, no experience....and a full load of recruits coming next year. I don't see his playing time improving much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But IIRC they have lost their last 6 conference games on the road. And the last 3 have not been to the "elite." I am thinking K-State, TCU, and now Texas. Whatever it is the 'Neers are going in the wrong direction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But don't ask me what I was doing 5 minutes ago... I am the same way especially with the final four. I can tell you who played in 1988 final four but to remember who played in 2016 would be harder for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IU Scott Posted February 25, 2020 Report Share Posted February 25, 2020 Watching the FSU and UL game those two teams just seems like they are just better than anyone in the big ten. Not saying the big ten is not the best conference but if you just look at the top of other conferences I think they are better than the big ten. I also thought that while watching the KU and Baylor game because both games just seemed like a higher level than we see in the big ten. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you could make the argument that every power conference's best team/s is better than the B1G's best team/s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree. The Big Ten is deep but there are no outstanding teams. MD has the most talent, but they are vulnerable. Not a good shooting team. Live off of second opportunities.

But don't let their conference schedule belittle the B1G. Take a look at the non-con match-ups where we(B1G) played the big boys from other conferences. tOSU has beat 'Nova and UK. IU has beat Florida St. Etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GaloisGroupe Posted February 25, 2020 Report Share Posted February 25, 2020 We do lack top end. The big 10 is considered the best because even NW can be tough. I think the big will have 3-5 teams in the sweet 16, but probably 0-1 for elite 8 and non in the FF. Almost every team is Sweet 16 capable.

They're not easy to identify. Gonzaga and San Diego St are suspect because of their schedules. Kansas and Baylor both look good, but Kansas has been fool's gold in the past. Not sold on the Dukies, yet. Fl St good be dangerous. Big East is similar to Big Ten. Deep, but not sure there are any great teams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It can't do anything but help us in recruiting his brother if that situation arises down the line. Maybe father see how things could have been different if he didn't try to rush the process. There are clear OAD NBA kids out there. The Wisemans, Zions, Cousins, Roses of the world...but most kids...even the 5 star are not anywhere ready to go to the pros after one year. Keion should never have been looking for the fast lane to the NBA. He should have been looking for a place that would develop his raw but incredible talent to maximize his potential. Whether that be Indiana, North Carolina, Kansas, Michigan St. etc....but UK is just on a total separate program path. I do hope the best for Keion because he is an Indiana kid but I'm not feeling sympathy for his decision. I still would welcome him to IU with open arms despite all that went down because I do think the kid himself is an unselfish basketball player and would be committed to team success.

I could be wrong but like 7’1 wingspan or something and he is very athletic, good motor, willing defender, nice touch 15 and in although still needs work extending his range, good rebounder and shot blocker, can make plays for others (pretty decent passer). I think a lot is his ability to guard 2-5 honestly and the prospect that his offense can be improved. He just isn’t seeing the playing time to do that right now though.
