I really like this kid.  Athletic and lots of nice moves.  Would love to land him and our frontcourt is transformed entering next season.  Paultz, think we have a real shot here?

A couple of weeks back I heard he had us in his top 3, so I guess so. Seems more realistic than Jordan Brown, but we'll see. Matt is lead guy for Brooks btw.

Brown is certainly a stud, but Brooks is a highly ranked and skilled kid as well.  I’d be just as happy locking this kid up as these are the types we will build around.  Brooks seems more of a throwback type PF and really thrives around basket.  Scores down low.

He looks like a Q'rran Calhoun type...face-up four.  I wouldn't count on him for a traditional PF role.

Agree, he also has skills outside and off he dribble.  He’s skilled though and looks like he can ear his points inside too.  I liked Calhoun a lot..  I think the comparo is a fair one.

Got a nice soft touch, good low post scorer which is something we sorely need. Good feel for blocking shots and rebounding. Kid looks like a player and a throwback 4. Sign this beast.

Any updates as to how the visit went?  The weather was not great.  Suspect the buzz on campus is minimal with the holidays, finals etc.  Hopefully he enjoys the MSG experience including a big  win over Iona.

Slater and Meyer both predicted Brooks to SJU on their crystal ball yesterday FWIW. Would be a great get

Both are very good signs...
