Kentucky Basketball Preview: Keion Brooks Jr. is Wildcats’ most intriguing piece this season

The term “package deal” has become quite a popular phrase in college basketball recruiting over the last half-decade or so and for Keion Brooks Jr., many across the Hoosier State thought he and 2018 Mr. Indiana Basketball Trayce Jackson-Davis would both be coming to Bloomington to try and rejuvenate the supposed storied Indiana basketball program.

Jackson-Davis capped a dominant season at Center Grove in Indianapolis, won the state’s biggest award in hoops after committing to the Hoosiers, while Brooks transferred from Fort Wayne North Side High School to national high school power La Lumiere, helping Isaiah Stewart (Washington) lead the Lakers to a 29-1 season a year ago, just falling short in the national high school title game to IMG Academy.
