OT Has Brooks been in the game today for UK?
- Thread starter VanPastorMan
- Start date
I looked him up and saw he had one assist. I watched most of this first half, but don't remember him entering the game.
He definitely made a mistake going to UK. He’s been recruited over so will struggle to play more next year than he will this year and then he’ll go pro no matter what. He, Smith, and Trayce would have been fun to watch this year had it happened.
UK usually has these big guys who look far bigger than other college players ie Davis,Cousins. They don't seem to be as big this year. I do like the Carollton kid for OSU.
I think sometimes when you’re not playing big minutes, you press too hard when you do get on the floor. He’s be really good piece on our team.
I'd like to have him just so we can get our name in the Ft Wayne area. Anderson could open us up for the South Bend area too.
UK fans seem really, really down on Brooks.
...which I absolutely LOVE.

I am curious how mamma Brooks feels about that since her and Franklins mom were complaining about IU fans last year.
Especially with the success Trayce and Franklin are already having.
Even if Brooks is unhappy he will never transfer and sit out imo. He likely will just declare and go to the g league or Europe imo. When that's your deal your not staying in college.
Brooks will likely declare for the draft and get paid, somewhere. That was Daddy "Time to be Selfish" Brooks plan after leaving Fort Wayne North Side High School and going to Laporte LaLumiere. Putting Brooks on the fast track to being a pro, to be seen by more NBA scouts at a national Prep School and, and go to one-and-done specialist Calipari to as quickly as possible make the NBA or G-League/Euroball cash. Only one slight problem, there are a lot of players with talent that flame out. They get bad advice, make poor decisions, and do not develop a high level skillset that can make them actually marketable to the NBA.

I told you it was a huge mistake for Brooks to go to Kentucky and play for Calipari.
Cal don't care about crushing your ego, Cal has a bigger ego.
yup as are IU fans.
We’ve beat this dead horse too much. Brooks isn’t OAD, and will be over recruited next season as UK has 6 top 100 (4 are top 40 recruits) coming in next season.
maybe Brooks goes overseas if he isn’t happy. But NBA sure won’t happen after its season
Could’ve been a nice player at IU, see Franklin, who has been huge at times as a surprise frosh. Beating ND
That's why one and one rule is so dumb and bad for college. Just let the Brooks of the world go straight pro. Should never have been a rule.
One possibility of the many is that he might not have done well at IU also. I believe he would’ve done better had he gone to IU, but who’s to say he’s not the problem. It might be that IU dodged a bullet there by not getting him.
Now they did warn him that they didn't want him and that he wasn't good enough to play there before he committed.
It's simple. Cal told them what they wanted to hear about the NBA imo.
You can't help but wonder what's going to happen to him next year. UK has one senior. One. They have six signees coming in next year. So five players on the current roster have to go and, frankly, I'm not seeing five guys on that roster that are going pro next year. So, you can't help but wonder if Keion is going to be shown the door. I mean, if he can't even play on this very average UK team, is he really going to be OAD?
