John Calipari has won some fierce recruiting battles over the years, but Keion Brooks may have been one of his toughest.
The five-star Indiana native was long believed to eventually pick the home-state school, but Kentucky managed to pull him away from the Indiana Hoosiers and get him to Lexington, where he’ll be a vital piece for what should be a preseason top-five team next season. The North Carolina Tar Heels and Michigan State Spartans were also firmly in the mix until he picked the Cats in March.
On Wednesday, Brooks put pen to paper on the first day of the spring signing period.
