rico Posted March 4, 2019 Report Share Posted March 4, 2019 All the funny religious talk aside...it is Keion's decision. And a life changing one for a young man. Wish him the best to coming up with whatever he feels suits him best in the "here and now". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IndySportsPartizan Posted March 4, 2019 Report Share Posted March 4, 2019 Here is where we are... Keion and Mom want IU. Dad leans UK. Younger brother is in middle school and has been making some heads turn too. Watched him play at Spiece the other week. He likes Kentucky, but I dont think he counts. Dad saying "time to be selfish" doesn't feel good. Because he has taken Jr. off of his HS team midseason, basically lobbying for himself to coach the team, then reinstating Jr. For a second. It looked like he was going to take him out of school with months to go in the school year. After all was said and done, he finished the year but then enrolled at La Lu. If you know Sr. then you know that in no way does he mean "time to be selfish" as in "Jr. choose what you want". Its all about getting the the NBA for him, and that is what I think he means... At the same time, I could totally see him saying that just to throw people off too. I've heard dad say that he will give input to Jr but at the end of the day its all Keion's decision. That is great. Except I don't believe him. Anyways, lets enjoy over-analyzing everything the next 12 days 😂 My Crystal Ball prediction...Brooks to IU. Not a single person has told me this is the case. But guys, I promise you that Keion Jr loves IU. He LOVES Indiana and playing with that name across his chest means a lot to him. PS. Some people were over analyzing dads" #schoalrshipsoverchampionships tweet the over day. He has been saying that for years. What he means by that is you can win a state or AAU championship but if you arent a team player or have a shitty attitude, then no big time coach will want you on your team. *Had to edit some things.

The open to the public announcement in Fort Wayne feels good. Not many UK fans there at all. If there are, they are Walmart fans. Dad saying "time to be selfish" doesn't feel good.

He is totally going to do or say some things to market that while the spot light is on. So lets enjoy over-analyzing everything the next 12 days 😂 Agreed. Dad definitely wants some recognition for his boys abilities. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BornHoosier Posted March 4, 2019 Report Share Posted March 4, 2019 Selfish comment could mean it’s time for himself to be selfish and make the decision for Jr? I hope it doesn’t come down to this & as a Parent couldn’t imagine but we live in a cold World. Time will tell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t disagree with that... just alluding to the fact that he’s taking advantage of the attention that’s coming to Keion as a way to illustrate his capabilities as a coach/trainer.

Billingsley99 Posted March 4, 2019 Report Share Posted March 4, 2019 Still hearing Jr. Will be the decision maker. My guy says still IU. My fear is he has never wanted to let his father down. Can Dad step up and give blessing. If Dad still wont give the blessing I have concerns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's crazy that it's been said that Jr. and mom both want IU but dad is stuck on UK. Hopefully he comes around to the thought of IU over the next 11 days.

13th&Jackson Posted March 4, 2019 Report Share Posted March 4, 2019 This quote is from nearly a year ago. However, if this is how the young man still feels, he should be allowed to have the experience without pressure or second-guessing. It’s at the front of my mind. Why go somewhere when I can do it at home? You know I’ve always been intrigued by Indiana just because it’s where I grew up and where I’ve always been, so, just the thought that I could wear Indiana across my chest and be a star for them is something special”. There will be nothing special for him to have Kentucky on his jersey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IU Scott Posted March 4, 2019 Report Share Posted March 4, 2019 So it was the dad that said to be selfish or was it KB that said it. If it was KB you would think it could be positive for IU but if it was his dad it doesn't sound positive. Maybe he sees that TJD and Franklin is wanting him to go to IU but his dad probably thinks don't just go to IU because your friends are going there.

I am sure Keion has friends that are going to one of the 5 schools that is recruiting Keion, not just TJD and Armaan. It just helps that they are staying in state wanting to represent their state with Indiana across the chest. Keion won't have a legacy with UK during college(he will be forgotten once he leaves for the NBA), however he will have a legacy with IU in addition to playing ball in the NBA.

Billingsley99 Posted March 4, 2019 Report Share Posted March 4, 2019 I think the selfish was meant for what to have for dinner. Could mean just about anything. That's the joy of social. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CauseThatsMyDJ Posted March 4, 2019 Report Share Posted March 4, 2019 I understand where the notion comes from, but anyone that has been to a Pacers game when a Kentucky alum is on the visiting team should know that they are not forgotten.
