No, they would not. However, if they are just trying to build his brand, then all of this is for naught if he doesn’t go to IU. This tactic of brand expansion only works if he goes to IU in the end. You hear the crowds chanting IU. If he goes to Vandy/KU, then the hype and brand building is gone in the state. Part of the appeal to people in the state is that’s Romeo is one of our own. If he turns his back on the state school that everyone is chanting for him to go to, then he loses everything he built to this point.

Victor had 27 pts., 4 asts., 3 rebs., 1blk, 3 stls, as the Pacers beat Boston 99-97. He now has a steal in 50 consecutive games.

It’s interesting watching the ESPN bracketology show and seeing Davis, Bilas, and Greenberg talk about Sean Miller and Arizona as if they had not totally threw him under the bus a few weeks ago on Gameday. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners

Okay then; season is officially over... it’s transfer week! [emoji3] Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners

Some old timers from the original scout forum will get this. An ‘Insider’, high school assistant coach, was chiming in on a recruiting battle and said ‘Calhoun’s health is the word’. UConn wasn’t even in the picture and it became a joke for many years and several boards after the scout forum died.

Nope! Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

We've missed the NIT twice in the last 5 years, and 5 times in the last 10 years. Still kind of astounding to think our program has fallen that far.

This may be a new forum, but it’s still the sam story.

Calhoun’s health is the word.

Yeah count me in as someone who appreciates any rumors, whether good or bad. I think we all know by now to take every rumor and tea leaf with a grain of salt, as it'd be ridiculous to take everything on a message board as gospel. It's way better than the worthless back and forth that has gone on for about 50% of this thread.

Hope not. Really want to see a Romeo and Damezi matchup for the ship Sent from my Pixel XL using BtownBanners mobile app

The Peegs member eating lunch next to TJD’s parents and openly talking about their son’s recruitment seems unlikely. I doubt TJD’s parents are openly talking about what their son and someone else’s son likes/wants at lunch. See how that works? Stop. Posting. Peegs. Rumors.

That's what happens when you hire a guy With no HC experience then hire a guy already on probation then follow it up with A Crean. a Crean is a coach that just doesn't understand basketball at all btw

They’ll choke in the first or second round. Michigan dominated them in the BTT Championship and they limped into the end of the season. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

In fairness I think IUgradman catches unnecesary grief. I actually appreciate him sharing things he hears even if they seem far fetched. Also he doesn't say anything in absolutes and always says "this came from ___". I personally see nothing wrong with it and actually find it entertaining. My 2 cents

I’m pretty sure the majority of people on here like to hear the rumors. That’s what these message boards are for lol. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners

It's a game with 8000 in attendance. Of course everyone is going to have a story of what someone told them. It's fun. Certainly better than having to see the "alpha dog", "book it", or "anchors down" joke repeated for the 1000th time.

I'm just reporting what I've heard so you can laugh or whatever you want idc. Like I said not saying it's true but just what I've been hearing. Also the rumor about Romeos girlfriend transferring to IU from NKU are true per some New Albany family I sat next to. Also hearing you're gonna see TJDs younger brother with an offer here if TJD commits...again just what the word in the CG area has been. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

I was fortunate to witness Romeo play against TJD in the Seymour regional last night and wow that was a crazy experience! As for Romeo, I just can't imagine there is a better player in HS in the country than him. I was able to watch Eric Gordon play in HS against Greg Oden and Mike Conley and I can tell you Romeo is far and above a better player than those 3 mentioned when they were in high school. There's no doubt he'll be a household name similar to Trae Young next year...except he actually makes his team better. Definitely a one of a kind player and great kid. I live near CG so I have seen TJD play several times but it was something else seeing Romeo live in action. The seats filled up so fast I had to sit in the NA section and I got to talking to serval people from there and each one of them think IU is where Romeo will end up. Again, nobody knows for certain but that's what the NA feels at this point. I was surprised Bryce Drew didn't make an appearance and was glad to see that Archie brought out Ostrom and Flint and Phinisee to visit with Romeo...Let's hope this final push pays off BIG! As for TJD I can tell you that he and Brooks are super close and have a "pact" to play together in college. Both his parents are now pushing for IU....I also know from good source that Archie is the only one who has been keeping in contact with him recently and Izzo/MSU hasn't made contact in several months. TJDs mom went to IU and his stepdad has pushed for IU since the allegations at MSU came out...prior he was aboard TJD to MSU. Just thought I'd share my experience last night and info that I've heard here recently. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners

If he plays like this for the remainder of his career he’s gonna be more than just a Pacers legend. This year has been unreal. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

Thanks for sharing. I ended up reading a lot of his tweets. Man this guy seems like a really good hire. Seems like he has a "Moneyball" approach to things.

The last bit of good intel I read on this board came from Chris007 during the preseason. Before that hoosierpap’s posts were the only trustworthy “rumors” Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

Sounds like lots of people are flinging crap at the wall in hopes that something sticks. If they're wrong, they can just say "well I got bad info". If they're right, they'll say "told you so!" Chances are none of these people know anything.

I was there and with the second game pretty much out of hand I was watching the interaction between these two. Archie seemed to be getting a head start coaching his very attentive future floor General. Phinnisse's a smart kid and a pretty damm good player.I cant help but be excited about our future with these two working together.Couldn't say I saw much hope a few months ago.
