Keion Brooks @ Washington

[*Fox2Monk*]

Weber St
North Florida
Utah Tech
Cal Baptist....loss that one
Fresno St
St Mary
Seattle U

Not going to lose sleep over Brooks playing that kind of schedule and putting up some stats. In that one loss to Cal Baptist Brooks was 4-12 shooting 11 pts 6 rebounds.

Man that sounds like a Calipari kind of schedule.

What’s the average Kenpom rating for the schedule? 260? What’s next Colgate, NW Mississippi CC, Dartmouth, North Alabama, or Bethune Cookman?

Jacob Toppin averaging (this season, through 7 games):
- 41% field goals
- 19% three point field goals
- 7 rebounds per game
- 64% FT

Both guys very underwhelming and not UK starter-caliber players.

After every Washington game…….siggggghhhhhhhhhh

Thing that bothers me the most about KB and what he said about the name change - he said basically (and this isn’t a quote, but I’m sure you can find it and it’ll be very close) that he didn’t really know much about Rupp because he “hadn’t educated” himself on the topic - but he supported a name change anyway. That’s just stupid. Kid was an idiot. He was supporting and expressing his desire to change the name of Rupp Arena just because someone wanted him to. No idea why. Didn’t know much about Rupp (which means he knew nothing). Come on now. Can’t disparage an entire family legacy without at least knowing why you are doing it? Geez. I’m not upset at KB leaving here. He should have left right after he “realized” he didn’t want to play in an arena named after a racist (not my opinion, his). Immature kid for sure. Best to keep your mouth shut until you know what you’re talking about.

That’s because he looks up to guys like LeBron. Just yesterday he wants Jerry Jones to denounce Racism because he went to school with some racial Integration problems 65 years ago and he happened to be in a photo. He reads one tweet about something and acts like he’s an expert on the topic and he can’t even tell the correct story of what happened because he did no research. He just takes the usual outrage position because it generates likes on social media. It’s a huge problem in the country and the reason so much division is present. Keion looks up to these athletes and entertainers who do the same things.

FYI, I just looked at his stats so far this year at Washington. Evidently he has the green light to shoot a lot and the stats are beyond horrible. He has taken 15 threes and has hit 3 of them! He has taken 67 other shots and has hit 24 for 35%. We would be screaming for him to be on the bench. Only good stats is he is averaging 7 rebounds per game and 75% for free throws. Not sure how to evaluate his defense stats without seeing the games.

He probably gets routinely blown by but has some athletic plays here and there that look nice. He’s exactly the same player he was here except he is somehow less efficient now. He transferred to be the man on a crap team that plays a weak schedule. He chose them because he got the green light to hoist up as many 20 footers as his elbow could handle.

When I looked at that photo, I saw a teen being a teen. I don’t get why we look at something a lifetime ago and automatically assume the worst. How do we (LeBron) know that he wasn’t making his way over to lend a hand, maybe he was holding back some idiot, I don’t know, I wasn’t there. Pic doesn’t show him with a club in his hand, yelling, making gestures. Ridicy

Definitely not what we were expecting from him so far. I do like the 7 rebounds per game though.

Not me. If he’s man enough to apologize to the entire Rupp family then I’ll think he’s got some integrity. Falling back on “oh I slandered the Rupp name and all of Kentucky’s history because I was a stupid kid” isn’t going to work. Apologize and we’ll talk, don’t and you can take a long walk off a 100 story pier.

How any UK fan who values our tradition can coddle this mouth breather and follower is behind me. This guy wanted our own ADOLPH RUPP to be removed from our history for Pete sake. What is wrong with some of you man, there’s a line that needs to be drawn with some of this ********.

You want to talk about respect? How about UK fans respecting the man who gave you everything you care about regarding this program? Rupp has been lied about, slandered, libeled, and disrespected beyond anything that resembles the truth and for anyone to offer respect the the MAN who did that is not acceptable to me.

You are a nice man with integrity I’ve followed your posting for years. But listen people, there’s a time to stand and have some backbone and if you can’t do it in a situation like this then there’s no situation you can. Adolph Rupp and his family deserve more respect than this. Do you realize we nearly removed his name from that building over the nonsense Brooks was pushing publicly? If it wasn’t for some very influential people at the top of that corporate latter that refused to remove his name Barnhart was willing to sell it off?

Brooks caused a lot of damage by his words. And you and every UK fan owes the that man, and his family, the respect you’re giving to Brooks and his nonsense.

Again, Brooks has never publicly, genuinely, and with remorse, apologized for the slander he brought to this university and the man who single handedly build this program. He will receive no good will from me and shouldn’t from any UK fan until he offers a legitimate apology for trying to add on in the attempt to destroy this programs traditions and the man that is the University of Kentucky basketball program.

Of he had slandered your grandfathers name over unsubstantiated ******** that is provenly false, would you push the insinuation that he deserves our respect? It pisses me off to no end seeing UK fans accept the fact that this guy, without knowledge of anything other than political nonsense he sees on Twitter, is being Allowed to go about his way without a proper apology. It’s not right and never will be.

And Cal, because he's a lib, allowed this mess to happen.

He allowed the kneeling to happen when the team was at Florida.

He could have shut it all down but he didn't.

I haven't forgotten.

One more reason for Cal to got IMHO.

 

[UKWildcats1987]

Brooks is scoring more due to a weak schedule. His shooting stats are terrible compared to at UK. He shot 49% from the field overall at UK last season. 39% so far against cupcakes this year. Purely volume.

About every coach allowed kneeling to happen. Look up all the candidates you want to replace calipari and if you want one that didn't allow the kneeling or didn't support his players during blm you are gonna end up with some no name coach because all the ones we want did that too.
