I've heard nothing but good but we all have different places we get information. I'd love to know more. Let's just say if he came to IU I would be surprised. He is a talent, but I don't know if that is the type CAM wants. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What school he ends up at isn't relevant in their minds. He won't be there long. But doesn't that just make them just like Romeo and pretty much any other 5-star? And can you blame them? I don't want a program full of guys with that mindset, but I think you need some to be competitive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is strife surrounding Brooks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know the inner workings of the coaching change, but I don't see that as a condemnation of the family, do you? You might know more being up there. Again, I think this kind of "strife" surrounds all of these kids that are possibly less than two years from being multi-millionaires. I'd posit that it is just more apparent in this case because KBJ is local. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For sure, he'll get minutes at any program, but if he wants to max minutes in his one year at college, IU may not work the best for him. Hope he comes, but if IU gets a lot of other talent and he chooses to go elsewhere for more minutes, I'll wish him the best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just because your deep at a position doesn’t mean you turn down an instate 5 star talent! Please tell me who on this roster will keep KBJ from minutes? Let me help you out, Nobody! Are you putting your hopes on players who couldn’t help this team make the dance? How many of these players on the current roster are 5 stars or recruited by Duke, MS, KY etc...? If KBJ wants to play at IU, nobody on this current roster will take his minutes period! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rico, please keep us all informed of what you are hearing locally! I tend to beleive local chatter more than national spin BS because people love to gossip. Also, please keep in mind what you are hearing today could change tomorrow because at the end of the day this is a business deal, aka Romeo Langford. Always love hearing local gossip because more times than not those are the true feelings the family is thinking instead of playing the Media or game.

Besides, Sometimes it's about doing the right thing. Neither of us knows what's been told to these recruits to get them to sign. Whatever that is, I hope IU's staff honors their promises. Not doing so is not a reputation you want to get regardless of how good a recruit is. Sure, I'd like to see KBJ play for IU, but in the end, are you putting your hopes on a player who's never played a minute of college basketball and who may or may not want to play at IU?

I know it is a small sample size but the couple of games I saw Brooks play in high school was not great. I hope he comes but to act like if he doesn't we will not have any one on the roster who couldn't do the same things that Brooks does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Know nothing about Hunter but I’m waiting to see if Smith can take that leap into stardom that he flashed in some games as a FR? If top level teams are after KBJ his skill level must be a little above Smith or Hunter. I choose to side with these top level teams scouting Dept over what we current have. Both Smith and Hunter will be key components to this team but KBJ can elevate them to serious contenders for a NC and will have no worries about minutes from either. KBJ has a future at the next level after yr one, please don’t compare 4 star talent to a OAD! This recruitment is big in so many levels! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The games I saw he was just standing around on offense and was not aggressive at all. I am not saying I don't want him on the team but I think Hunter and /smith will be as good as Brooks. I have seen plenty of 5 star players that went to Duke that did not work out ad had to transfer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roll slowed but did you just compare KBJ to Howell and Perea? Was either recruited this hard by the BIG boys? What kind of message is sent if in state IU can’t land another 5 star OAD talent? The Borders are not closed if both KBJ and TJD leave the state, PERIOD. I get it if he simply wants the biggest fish and we had no chance but that right now is not true. I would like to see MAX effort to land this kid and let the chips fall but I can’t help but feel CAM is not too confident in this battle with the big boys. Hope I’m wrong.

Will have to defer to your eyes since I have not seen him play but to tell Duke, NC, MS, KS they are no longer welcome in this state will have bigger impact than most are forgetting.

IU Scott Posted May 28, 2018 Report Share Posted May 28, 2018 I guess another thing I am a little leery about Brooks is that he left the team during the season so to me that is a red flag. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
