Keion Brooks pens goodbye message to the Big Blue Nation

Keion Brooks Jr. gave all he had to the University of Kentucky during his three years in Lexington, even if his time was never fully appreciated.

The 6-foot-7 forward experienced more unusual circumstances during his stint with UK than most Wildcats throughout history can claim — COVID-19 robbed him of a possible NCAA Tournament run as a freshman and then it cost him a regular sophomore season, one that saw Kentucky win just nine games. Brooks began to break through as a junior, but Kentucky just happened to lose in the first round of the postseason.
