It would’ve made no sense for him to come back to Iowa State. don’t really see him getting drafted, but he will make some good money overseas.

Hell of a highlight reel! He really was great, can't allow the last couple of weeks cloud how heavily he impacted this team and this season. I too would love to have him back, as would many, but he came in and did what TJ requested. Time to go make some money. Honestly, anyone in his situation should make this decision. Looking at you, Keegan Murray.
Glad for him, I don't think coming back for another year will improve his draft stock anymore than it is now with his age. The NBA likes to draft them mostly under 21 these days, I posted in another thread awhile back but it was something like only 11 guys that were 21 and over got drafted last year and 22 and over you could count on 1 hand. Playing in the G league or overseas at this point is going to increase his chances of making the NBA sooner than another year of college would.
Am glad he was a Cyclone and wish him the best of luck as a professional!

Go make the money. He left his mark. He will forever be remembered as the Leader of Junkyard Dogs.
Definitely the right move IMO. Breakout year, sweet 16, not much else he good do to improve his stock. Fully expect him to be drafted in the 2nd round. His length as a 2 and how high his release point is will intrigue plenty of teams.
He’s done everything he can do and has nothing left to prove at this level. Time to take a chance on the NBA and if that doesn’t work make some good money overseas playing a game - sounds like a good gig!
Congrats IB and thanks for being a Cyclone.

Makes sense for Brockington to enter the NBA draft. Stock wasn’t going to be any higher a year from now.
He left a legacy for sure, he’ll be remembered for being one of the big pieces that turned the program around.
Miss you Brock, you had a short time in Ames, but will definitely be remembered as one of the greats.
These announcements are always bittersweet: I hate to see him leave, but am glad he’s going to get paid. IB can now take his place amongst Royce White, Mariel Shayock, Will Clyburn and others who were one year wonders that made a huge impact on Iowa State MBB.
