milehiiu Posted October 7, 2018 Author Report Share Posted October 7, 2018 27 minutes ago, CSprings Hoosier said: Man, I live two miles away from the Olympic Training Center and tried getting into the gym to watch the practice while wearing an IU jersey, but the guard said "You ain't getting in unless you have a badge or you're a brother or a father or something." I said, "Keion Brooks and Trayce Jackson Davis grew up with my family." It didn't work, but please know that I tried on behalf of our Nation. I know the area where you live. And yes, the OTC is like an armed fortress. This has nothing to do with Brooks or Davis.... but.... loved to go to CC ice hockey games in the Springs. And understand that they are building a new on campus facility, and leaving the Broadmore World Stadium which seats something like 7,000. The on campus facility will seat something like 3 K. Intimate. I like that. Especially when they play the guys I have breakfast with from Denver U.

I haven't talked to many people about things like that lately. I have not seen leal play but was hoping he would get an offer knowing how the staff has offered others only if serious about them.

I think the staff waited on Galloway because they wanted to see Leal this upcoming season. Looks like that turned out to be the right decision. Just as Leal went up 42 spots, Galloway went down 55 spots. I think it’s just a matter of time. He’d be a great get for IU Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cutter Posted October 8, 2018 Report Share Posted October 8, 2018 I agree on the galloway wait and see. One of coachss or 0708 said IU would only take 1 of the 2 at most. I always like to see indiana kids and local kids have IU interest. I hope you are right on leal certainly makes sense Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coach Robby Posted October 9, 2018 Report Share Posted October 9, 2018 We played against them this summer. Granted it was a summer high school game, and he didn’t play great against us, but was def best player we played against all weekend. He’s sound, really fundamentally sound. Good shooter too, missed a few against us. But if you shoot 8 3’s, I bet you earned that green light somewhere...leal I mean Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seeking6 Posted October 10, 2018 Report Share Posted October 10, 2018 I'll say the same thing I said last Winter. Give me guys like Keion all day long. My opinion hasn't changed one bit. The extra stuff that happened up at FW or moving schools...don't care one bit. This kid (unless I'm mistaken) has been consistent in his approach about representing his state.

I'm hopeful that he and his family aren't in the same situation that most kids that are going to La Lu that we've seen from others. It's well known that La Lu has incentivized ($$) kids to go there....and to me what that does is signal to runners and agents and others behind the scenes is that kids that are there can be bought. Not saying all or most but to me it increases the pressure these families and kids are under when they get a giant bullseye on their back when they go to that type of school. So to me that makes these Indiana kids more suseptable to being influenced to go out of the state and play at programs that aren't afraid to grease the wheels if you catch my drift. Thankfully I don't see Keion and his family having that issue...can the same be said about the Stewarts and Ramsey's and others that end up at these schools...one only hopes. Bowen alone has shown how shady these schools are and we've all said it privately for years...it's why it leaves a bad taste in so many people's mouth when kids leave their high schools to go this route...they kind of go all Hollywood....well you might have a better chance to make it big in Hollywood but there are a ton of pitfalls there as well...especially to poor families that can be exploited. I'm just glad that I don't think the Brooks are a family that should be an issue with...however I can't say when kids go there it makes me feel better for our chances.
