Obviously the Izzo stuff will never be confirmed and is only conjecture. But the prep school part of the rumor has legs. http://www.news-sentinel.com/sports/2018/01/21/keion-brooks-jr-absent-from-north-side-game-saturday-considering-prep-school/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seeking6 Posted January 21, 2018 Report Share Posted January 21, 2018 Kids go prep route for a variety of reasons. I admit leaving team during season makes it sound like it's personal between family and coach or someone else there? If it wasn't personal he could leave in March at end of season. Leaving now? Ed is as close as anyone can be on this one. I like where we stand now but as previous poster mentioned. Just getting started. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IU Scott Posted January 21, 2018 Report Share Posted January 21, 2018 I don't like the fact that he quit on his team during the middle of the season. To me if this is his character then we should pass on him. I have watched him a couple of times and really was not overly impressed with this game. With Having Smith, Hunter and Anderson I don't think losing Brooks would be a big loss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s the kind of player I want to see at IU. I don’t care if Brooks is the second coming of LBJ; he can go elsewhere. It’s hard to have a team if players can’t trust each other. Of course, this is all assuming the rumors/reports are true. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FKIM01 Posted January 22, 2018 Report Share Posted January 22, 2018 Geez...pump the brakes a little. Let's say he does transfer to a prep school. All we have regarding motive and circumstances is pure speculation. We need to have a lot more information before Books is labled as a bad teammate.

Seeking6 Posted January 22, 2018 Report Share Posted January 22, 2018 Here's the thing I don't get and hopefully someone from Fort Wayne can help us out. His Dad is an assistant coach on his team right? If he is and he still pulls his kid 2 weeks from sectionals? Wow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iufaninand Posted January 22, 2018 Report Share Posted January 22, 2018 i don’t know how our prospects will be if he goes to a prep school in northern indiana. it’s seems those kids aren’t too interested in IU Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OGIUAndy Posted January 22, 2018 Report Share Posted January 22, 2018 He was at school today: http://www.news-sentinel.com/sports/2018/01/21/keion-brooks-jr-absent-from-north-side-game-saturday-considering-prep-school/ Who knows what's going on. The timing does seem rather odd and yes his father is an assistant coach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haven't heard anything other than rumors ranging from prep school to grades to disciplinary action. Unfortunately, I have no North Side ties.

cohete15 Posted January 23, 2018 Report Share Posted January 23, 2018 Would love to have him, but we won’t be hurting in that class if we don’t. I would think we can land TJD and Watford. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KoB2011 Posted January 24, 2018 Report Share Posted January 24, 2018 Hard to say what's going on. It's just as possible that his coach heard he was considering prep school next year and told him to go now trying to be a tough guy. We don't have any idea what's going on and even if he goes to prep school, it would be conjecture at best to draw negative conclusions at this point.
