SIAP: 5* Keion Brooks to visit Iowa

The little known secret about this thread is - it is actually a drinking game. Every time you get a fact wrong or make something up, you have to swig. Gulp.
 
you should talk as at least Fran has not thrown a chair 3/4 court like Knight which prompt the Indiana Athletic department to chain the chairs together. lets face it Knight was the king of the maniacs.

Bob Knight is a despicable human being. Choked his players, harassed and berated media members, recklessly threw objects around that could have resulted in injury to someone.

He is very lucky to have coached in an era where being a bad person did not matter. He certainly would have been fired immediately for those inappropriate actions in this era.
 
Funny guys around here. All the insults will do nothing to change that Iowa is a lower tier Big 10 basketball team

Let me know the next time Iowa
  • Makes it to the sweet 16
  • Has a 1st Round NBA draft pick
  • Wins the Big 10
  • Wins the BTT
  • Is known outside of their coach being a raging maniac
Then we can really banter because basically yall have nothing to stand on but HOPE

Indiana has never won the BTT. They've only even made the championship game once in its many years of existence.

Who did they lose to that lucky year they made the finals? Iowa, of course.

Lol Purdue has won one BTT, congratulations.

5 national titles > 1 BTT title

9 FF > 2 FF (1980 is a long time ago)

IU > PU (It will get even worse now that the clapper is gone).

Easy to see why nobody nationally gives a rat's about Purdue.
 
By the way, Indiana went 0-9 vs tournament teams last season. They lost to IPFW and Indiana State, 2 awful teams who missed the tournament, each at home by 20+.

They've missed the tournament two years in a row under 2 different coaches.

They're less talented than Iowa is.

Garza
Cook
Baer / Wieskamp
Moss
Bohannon

Is definitely a superior lineup than whatever Indiana plans on trotting out.

Don't let the Indiana fans who have flocked to this thread like moths to a flame convince you otherwise - their program is in a very poor spot right now and Brooks is not a shoe in there. If Archie misses the tournament again this season, Indiana could be looking at their third coach in 4 years next season. So without stability there, it may prove very hard to land Keion Brooks.

This is a very important year for Indiana as a program and Archie Miller as a coach.

lol IU swept Iowa last year, brought back all-big10 Juwan Morgan, and adds the #1 class in the BIG (#7 in the country). That being said considering you're such a biased joke of a poster, it makes you incapable of having any sort of honest discussion.

There isn't a preseason rating in the country that will project Iowa ahead of IU in the coming year, and once Edwards leaves it's back to the basement for Purdouche as well. It doesn't really matter though we already know Matt's ceiling in the tournament, and it isn't very high. Even if Purdue makes the tourney this year (they won't)Matt at best will once again hit his head on his sweet 16 ceiling, rinse repeat.

That has to sting, 13 years in and people outside of the Big10 still don't give a sh*t about Purdue. Archie has already been farther in the tourney and he's only getting started.

Congrats! This is the dumbest post I have read in a long while. I suggest you see your therapist to adjust your meds as they clearly are not working well for you. That or just troll harder.

You keep trying to bait me into some sort of troll war about Purdue, the program who hasn't lost to Indiana in years, by spouting off nonsense and nonfacts about Purdue that IU fans were previously aiming at Iowa. You're trying to convince yourself a guy who went 0-9 vs tournament teams with multiple top 100 recruits is better than a guy who went 15-3 in conference play and earned a 2 seed with less heralded recruits. So congrats on today's crazy fan take award.


That's not what this thread is about though. It's an Iowa basketball board and the thread was created to talk about Keion Brooks visit.

The only reason Indiana has been brought up at all is because you and other Indiana fans have come to this thread and trolled pretty hard in the paint about Keion Brooks recruitment and why he supposedly will be attending Indiana, as if any of your biased wrong opinions have any bearing at all on where Keion Brooks will be attending college.

Indiana was awful last season. There is no debating that. They didn't even participate in postseason play. So acting like they're somehow in a better spot than Iowa when your new coach could not even keep it within 20 at home vs Indiana Stats and IPFW with a fully in tact roster is laughable.

Indiana started 2 seniors. Iowa started 3 sophomores and a frosh. There's some context missing when you bring up the sweep of Iowa.

Iowa will be a bunch of experienced upperclassmen + a talented frosh Wieskamp who won't be asked to carry a heavy usage Id imagine. Plus, Fran has shown he can actually make the tournament at Iowa playing a tough B1G schedule, something we aren't sure Archie is capable of yet.

If you're asking me who the better coach is between the 2, I think it's Fran. If you're asking me which team has the better roster, its for sure Iowa imo. At the end of the day, better coach + better roster will probably = more success which you'd have to guess bodes well for Iowa in Keion Brooks recruitment.

It may all be a moot point anyways considering UNC, MSU, or Kentucky may very end up with him.

Brooks likely will end up at UK, at no point did I say he will end up at IU. IU will do just fine with TJD, Newman, and possibly Carton.I'm done arguing with you because it isn't worth it. To the rest of your post (I didn't read much of it) time will tell, we will see.

First, Miller isn’t going anywhere after this season, regardless of his results, unless he cheats. He’s there for the long term.

Second, IU is bringing in some good young talent, but they’ll be too lacking in overall experience to make much of a dent in the BiG Ten. And the prize recruit, Langford, is only there for a year.

Iowa will always be decent under Fran but he’s not a transformative coach or recruiter. Good roster, but that’s it.

IU has a shot at Brooks, but they won’t likely get him. Iowa has a far, far lesser chance of getting him.

Anyone who discounts Purdue or Painter shows their ignorance. He does more with less on a consistent basis and will continue to do so. IU fans delude themselves when they suggest otherwise.

The IU fan base used to be considered knowledgeable in basketball circles. Decades of hoops irrelevance has stripped them of such recognition.

Why does Iowa stand a far less chance of landing him vs Indiana?
 
Fran needs a breakthrough recruit to have a consistent shot the 5* types of recruits. Carton, in combo with JoeW, the Mc boys..., could help, but right now we are just one more barely relevant program.
 
For the same reason IU stands much less of a chance with David Bell than Iowa: Relevance. In hoops, IU is much higher profile and that matters to high end recruits. Flip it for football.
So he won’t visit Iowa and make statements about what he likes about Iowa? He won’t waste Iowa’s time then, right?

He’s not wasting anyone’s time, it’s just that iowa wont measure up from a basketball perspective to most of the other schools he’s considering. Not as much tradition, fan support, ability to win their conference, opportunity to make a deep tournament run, prep for the NBA, etc. The profile isn’t there, at least not to the degree it exists for the other schools. In football, Iowa is one of the “haves”, but they’re a basketball “have not”.

So according to the above he wasted his and Iowa’s time on his unofficial visit.

Also according to the above, 4/5 stars base where they play solely on the quality of the basketball program and never choose a school based on other extenuating circumstances.

Furthermore, Iowa basketball (.584 all time winning%, and 25 NCAA appearances) is apparently on the same level as Indiana football (.424 all time winning%, 3-8 all time bowl record)

This is the second Iowa recruiting thread that Indiana fans have chosen to involve themselves in, and at this point they’d be doing themselves a favor to... not

To be fair. I have some of them on ignore so I can’t resd what they’re writing. It’s pathetic that they’re wasting their time here.
 
Bob Knight is a despicable human being. Choked his players, harassed and berated media members, recklessly threw objects around that could have resulted in injury to someone.

He is very lucky to have coached in an era where being a bad person did not matter. He certainly would have been fired immediately for those inappropriate actions in this era.
That probably says more about this era than it does Bob Knight.

I agree. I don't think Bob Knight is the only coach who physically assaulted his players, sadly. Under no circumstances would that be allowed today.

If video surfaced today of Coach K or any other big time coach choking his players, he/they would be fired immediately IMO.

It's kinda sad people do not understand common courtesy/board etiquette.

You don't visit another fanbases forum for the sole purpose of trolling and instigating. You discuss civilly. I am surprised some haven't been banned already. No place for that kind of crap posting.

On a related note, it shows how desperate the fan base has become that they are going to Iowa forums to troll you guys about recruits after their 2nd straight season of missing the tournament.
 
Banning posters for anything other than obscenity, threats of violence etc. is especially contemptible in my opinion.

How weak are you that you can’t deal with some Walmart Hoosier talking smack on your board?

It’s just incredibly lame to suggest banning outsiders, and an admission that Iowa fans can’t function outside our protected little farmer bubble. Especially in view of the fact that there is a vocal subset of fans here who consistently accuse other programs of cheating. To fling accusations like that and then ask that posters from other fan bases to be banned is straight up cowardice.

Banners go play bingo. These boards are too dangerous for snowflakes like you.

By your logic, only prospects who are certain to attend Iowa should be allowed to visit. That's not a concept your coaches with which your coaches agree. Was only saying that the likelihood of Brooks attending Iowa is quite low. Not sure you're unable to understand that.

You're either struggling with a basic understanding of how recruiting works or you're being purposely obtuse. Why is this so difficult for a few of you?

It took you almost a full day to respond, and “obtuse” was the best you could come up with? Solid counter argument dude, really impressive
