I tried to use words that you could comprehend. Sorry if I aimed a little high.
SIAP: 5* Keion Brooks to visit Iowa
- Thread starter BigOHawk
- Start date
I like Fran as a coach. What you see is what you get which isn't a bad thing. I think the battle for Keion is Indiana - Mich. St. Ed Schilling assistant to Miller was Keion's fathers college coach. Izzo has been recruiting Brooks since the 8th grade. One of my friend's sons is a high level recruit in this cycle. Most five star recruits get out and visit several schools before they pull the trigger. They are looking for a fit..
Thanks for the insight on Keion Brooks. There are alot of the 2019 top picks that have yet to commit. Matt Bain thinks that top recruits will be taking Sept visits then the dominos will fall.
Let me know when Indiana makes the tournament more than 50% of their seasons like they have over the last decade. A lot of hope in Bloomington but reality is a bitch. Y’all aren’t the Knight era Hoosiers, not even close.
Umm, it's really, really hard to get banned from here. This kind of banter is all that goes on here every single year in basketball and football, every flicking year.
Not sure you're calling the right fan base "snowflakes". There is a reason why almost every other fan base in the Big10 visits Iowa boards regularly.
U seem really mad, maybe take a time out on this one..? Go Hawkeyes
I've never seen a fanbase so delusionally arrogant after missing the tournament two seasons in a row capped off by an 0-9 mark vs tournament teams last season in the weakest B1G in the history of the conference. Their coach was awful the entire year, lost to LOLRutgers of all teams to end the year, and they are convinced he's a good coach, despite the overwhelming evidence suggesting otherwise. And because they have pulled the wool over their eyes and are willfully ignorant about him, theyve all started going around to different boards trolling like the guy you've quoted here.
The good news is that IPFW or Indiana State (they both dumptrucked Indiana at Indiana by 20+ last year)should put an end to that for the third year in a row rather early into November, so you'll just have to endure it during the off-season.

I'll go on a limb and say Indiana doesnt miss the tournament ever again with Miller at the helm. The guy is head and shoulders a better coach and recruiter than Tom Crean. And a heck of a lot less awkward.
Losing Carton has triggered him. Losing him to IU would totally send him/her over the edge.
The funny thing is I didn't even have to read much of it, he's made the same post at least 3 times in this thread. He isn't a Hawkeye fan he's a Purdue fan that goes from board to board waiting for someone to bring up IU just he can put his 2 cents in. He truly is a "special" kind of guy.
Funny thing.... Knight himself, who has gone out of his way to avoid saying anything kind about his past employer, was quite complimentary of Miller and his abilities. But, you know better, right? You might want to wipe that bile off your chin. Dumb-ass....
McHoop
Me, mad? No, just pointing out the facts about the current Hoosier basketball program. I find it amusing that some Indiana fans think their program is all that and a bag of chips. You've gone to the NCAA tourney 4 out of the last ten seasons. Congrats on that, you're obviously right back at the top of the conference, LMAO.
I first came this board to get some insight on Carton, a kid I didn't know much about when IU started recruiting him. What I found were two fanbases bashing a program they have literally no room to talk about. IU has won the conference twice in the last 6 years while Iowa hasn't seen the top of the conference since 1978. They also went to the second weekend 3 times under a coach IU fired. While Iowa hasn't seen the second weekend since 1999. IU has also made the championship since then and won another conference title.
Players like Carton want to go to the NBA, Iowa since 1998 has had a whopping 3 players drafted since then, and none of which were in the first round. No wonder he wasn't seriously considering Iowa.
Recognize there are no IU fans here talking sh*t about Iowa football. The truth hurts but know your place, have a good day.
Being a Hawkeye fan you are right SIhoosier, the truth does hurt.
And those conference championship teams did what ultimately? Not much. My place is right here to remind IU crap talkers that your recent laurels aren't much to be resting on and the distance between the programs isn't monumental. Besides, it's one of your alumni that ultimately led our program into the dark wilderness we're still trying to extract ourselves from. Go back to Peegs where your delusional base will agree with everything you say, or become a football fan and join the Go Big Red resurgence. Your two fanbases seem to have a lot in common.
I have no problem with the Hawkeye program, like I said I was only here to get a little more insight about Carton a kid I didn't know much about. I don't believe fran is near as bad of a coach as a lot of people act like he is. He does need to recruit a bit better, especially in terms of athletes, but ultimately he's not as bad as a lot of people even on this board act like he is.
Well one of them played for the national championship, I don't consider that nothing. Again, not an argument an Iowa fan wants to have.
I am probably going to regret typing this and getting involved in the pissing match, but to me, if a player is a 5* stud, then it shouldn't matter where he goes to school. Talent is talent regardless of what school it plays for. Steph Curry played for Davidson. Not exactly a powerhouse, and is arguably one of the best players in the NBA. So I don't see how I am expected to buy the old adage of "Player X should choose School Z because it gives him a better chance to make the NBA". Am I wrong in this thinking?
Well, if Bob Knight said something nice about him in passing then I guess we can just forget about all of those stats and facts I just listed (lol).
Update on KBJ - Kentucky style.

As a Indiana fan, please just ignore this guy! I enjoy coming to other fans boards during the offseason just because I want to see what's going on around the league. But it's so frustrating to see 12 year old kids who say their fans of my team while acting like a complete jackass!
The reason I came over was to see everyone's opinion on D.J.C, and unfortunately I saw this guy.
From what I understand, Brooke's having fun with the recruiting process and is in no hurry to make a pick. Because of this, he is apparently wide open and in this day and age with 18 yr olds....I wouldn't be shocked at any school he picks. Of course I want him to pick Indiana, but if not us I'd want you all to get him.
Anyways once again, please ignore this 12 year old kid and good luck rest of the offseason!
Guys lay off of the IU fans, for the most part they are extremely knowledgeable hoops fans( something lacking here). They are also usually pretty polite and humble.
As far as Archie Miller goes, he is a hell of a coach and might even end up being better than his big brother (less stubborn). I had the pleasure of watching Archie coach at Arizona for a while and was very sad to see him go.

IU fans weren’t here to show their knowledge of the game period. Now move on.
TOS has an article about Noah Hutchins. Not sure if he is or not,
Just looks like Coach Francis is in to watch him play tonight. At least according to twitter.
I really dont mind Iowa being successful. As an IU fan. I just dont see why they would waste their time with Brooks and TJD. I'm not saying that they are locks for IU or anything but Fran needs to lock up Iowa 1st!
That is expected. Hes a 5 star. You must recruit against the best for these guys.
Lets get these 2019 offers out so ad the other chips fall to other schools we can be ahead of the curve. Being in our conference is not as big as it used to be with all these mid majors making tourney runs now. Lets give up on Brooks btw...
The main problem with your aggrandized drivel is no Iowa fan is making any sort of claim about Iowa basketball being great. Something you, your brethren, and the Ohio State fan don't seem to grasp. It's called laying siege of a vacant castle. And the only purpose it seems to be serving is aiding in your apparent need for a self esteem boost over Indiana basketball. If Indiana basketball was actually worth a shit right now, you wouldn't be jerking off on the board of a fan base whose interest in basketball has declined precipitously over the last two decades.
So, lol, no, I don't think it's the Iowa fans who need to "recognize their place." Iowa fans are acutely aware of the mediocrity of Iowa basketball. No, I think the real delusion lies within the one who trolls the board of a mostly apathetic fan base promoting the supremacy of Indiana basketball. You're not even the top program in your own state right now, let alone anywhere near the top of the B1G, yet were supposed to be in awe of the greatness that is post-Knight Hoosier basketball?
Lol. GTFO. You arrogant, delusional SOB.
