Macari Brooks seems like a classic example of cannot make up his mind...
he now says his recruiting is open and he's not committed anywhere--
but as additional evidence that he has trouble deciding the simplest of things...like where he wants to go to high school...
he is now working on finding his 6th high school of his short prep career....
After bouncing around from Morgan Park to Rich South.....where he got booted for disciplinary issues....and sent to an "Alternative School"...
he has now left Rich South/Alt. School and he decided to transfer and enroll at Brehm Prep - the program that appears to be the new Boys-to-Men-revolving-door program in the state...
But just 3 weeks after enrolling there, he announced he changed his mind again, and won't be going there, and so now he's playing on the summer team of Chicago Orr HS with his buddy Mychal Henry (going to U of I), and says he will enroll at Orr.
BUT --- Orr is likely to enforce the same discipline handed down at Rich South as per their rules, but Brooks apparently though that since he's actually transferring from Brehm - he would have dodged the suspension...
Oh well.... there's even a report that unless he changes schools again - and goes to a school that ignores CPL and IHSA requirements, that he will have to sit this coming season out.

While it has become the destination of choice for many Illinois prep players recently, the big difference between Boys-to-Men and Brehm is that Brehm has been an excellent academic program for many years prior to adding basketball and get their players looked at by the Ivy League and schools like Vanderbilt. It is making a hard push to have one of the best prep basketball programs in the nation but academics should not be an issue and the comparison to B2M is a stretch.
I will agree with you 100% that what Brooks is doing should not be allowed and prep school should be his only option because the IHSA should not put up with it. 6 schools in a career is assinine.
Time and time again we have seen that these multi-high school players also become multi-college players!
Their tendency to bounce from one school to another appears to be an ingrained pattern, not just a series of flukes..
Just check out guys like Marcus Releford, Manual Cass, Jelani Poston, Robert Eppinger, Beas Hamga, Alex Legion, etc...
all of whom went to multiple high schools, then never stayed at a single college location more than a few minutes before moving on!

If this wasn't so obscure - it would probably be a bigger story -- but the saga of Macari Brooks goes on and on...
ISU wanted the kid for a while, then dropped off.......and after he verballed to Fairfield, he immediately started getting other calls and backed off.....
Now, after another fairly uneventful month...the kid has been working on summer classes to get grades up and isn't playing much AAU....there is word that he is possibly narrowed things down and may end at either DePaul or Iowa.
Don't bother watching any of the highlight videos for Macari, tho....they are all the same, just exclusively wide open, unguarded dunks...
but there's nary a pass, a rebound, a screen, an assist, nor even one single jump shot made or unmade in any of the guy's videos.
Makes you a little suspicious...kinda like all those highlight vids of DeAaron Williams' unguarded dunks
BTW -- lots of buzz around DePaul as they think they just might land Brooks and Phillip Greene, but then also haul in two tremendous prizes in 5-Star Anthony Davis and Mike Shaw..
I have also read that this ploy of saying he HAS decided but will not make it public just yet,
is a little akin to an auctioneer saying "going once...going twice..."....and
has the "agents" of the teams still left in the fray scrambling to make the biggest "offer" they can as fast
as they can...and thus setting the kid and his family and handlers up for life................
Good observation. 2nd player from Mac Irvin Fire and very similar to Crockett. Purnell likes athletes. Hopefully they land the 3rd Fire player....Mike Shaw.
