On Saturday night I tweeted that Fort Wayne North Side’s Keion Brooks did not travel with the team to Elkhart Central due to an apparent beef with the team on Friday night over shot selection. I immediately deleted it because I’m not in the business of breakin’ news. I figured I’d let someone else drop that dime because that’s not my M.O.. I talk about the news after it hits the streets so that boyz aren’t lookin’ at me sideways for puttin’ it out there. Where I’m from that’s like snitchin’.
However, now that it’s out there I can freely talk about it. For all of you cats that have been sleepin’ under a rock, Keion is one of the best players in the nation in the Class of 2019 and everybody and their baby’s momma have already offered him. And trust me playa, he’s as good as advertised at 6’9″ ole boy can do it all.
All he’s gotta do now is stay out of trouble, show up and play the darn game for the next couple of years and he’ll be a pro. He’s that good.
Let’s keep it real or all the way 100, whichever comes 1st! Accordin’ to my mans and nem ole boy is considerin’ goin’ to prep school or on some real talk, his old man (dad) is considerin’ prep school. My problem isn’t with he and his family contemplatin’ goin’ to prep school. My problem is with a boy quittin’ on his team a few weeks before the sectionals start. That’s called bein’ selfish and I’ve got to put that on the folks in charge because kids can’t make those types of decisions. This is some ole LaVar Ball-type foolishness. This a team sport not an individual sport bruh. You can’t just get mad and dip on the team right before the tournament starts. Wheredeydodatat?
Regardless of what the beef was or why it popped off there is still an obligation to the team that should be adhered to. I’m even more fired up that his old man, Keion Brooks, is one of the assistant coaches and walked out on his team. Then on Saturday night he tweets out “Great job tonight boys good bounce back win! #process!”
Great job tonight boys good bounce back win! #process!

Process? You walked out on the process!! How selfish is that? So now it’s not about the team? It’s ONLY about your kid? C’mon bruh!!
You can’t walk out on the team and then tell them great job the next day. That doesn’t make any sense. Either you’re down for trustin’ the process or you’re not. You can’t ride both sides of the fence. Part of trustin’ the process is goin’ through the foolishness and still comin’ out on the other side. Not walkin’ out because you got upset or when things don’t go your way. That’s not trustin’ the process. The process is real and it’s doesn’t choose sides.
And on some real talk, what’s the point in sendin’ him to prep school when he’s already accomplished the goal. Keion’s got offers from EVERYBODY!!! What opportunity is the prep school goin’ to give him that North Side hasn’t already provided?
Again, what’s the goal bruh? To go to college for free!!! He’s already got that in his pockets ten fold. Once he goes to college and plays on that level the exposure he’ll get takes it to an even bigger level. What blows my mind is when parents wanna do way more than what needs to be done in this process. He’s the one of the best kids in the country and they pull him off of the team just weeks before the state tournament starts?
North Side was the Class 4A State Runner-Up last year. They could literally get back to the state title game with ALL of their pieces but by not trustin’ the process they’ve hindered that opportunity for the TEAM. What is his dad really teachin’ him? He’s teachin’ him that it’s all about him and that the team doesn’t mean anything.
It’s unfortunate that North Side has go through this because adults made decisions not trustin’ the very process that they’ve been teachin’ the kids to trust. Stop me when I start lyin’!

The G is excluded from the endings of all words because the G is near and dear to my heart because I’m from “The G” which is Gary, Indiana. So I only use the G when I’m talkin’ about “The G!”

Is he off the team or not.
He was the team these kids think they are better than what they are
