We would need Smith, Moore, and Thompson to develop to rotation/starter status. We would definitely be in the B1G contenders group and the top of that group is usually title contenders.

The first step is getting a verbal and then a signature from Romeo. I don't think we're far off though.

Sure, that would cinch it. But that's more than we would need.

If Romeo and Darius commit, AND (here's the key) Archie's system is effective to the point that it could produce a champion, we would have more than a few players with either the experience or the talent necessary to be rotation players on a team that has enough to win a championship:

  1. DeRon
  2. Juwan
  3. Romeo
  4. Darius
  5. DeVonte
  6. Clifton
  7. Jerome
  8. Justin

That's a rough guess of eight, and doesn't include the possibility that a guy like CuJo, Race, Damezi, etc breaks out into a serious option. One senior, two juniors, two sophomores, and three freshmen.

Pure speculation, of course, but it seems like that group would have enough IF things clicked.

When StuHoo gives us the nod at a potential title team, that means it is serious lol. I agree that we likely need both kids to do so. Getting one will be awesome, but until this season plays out I will be patient in saying if we could compete for one or not with Romeo or Darius but not both. Lucky for us, getting both looks very possible.

Stuhoo, get out of my head.  I had just typed up almost the exact same thing, except I left Justin off the list, making a top 7.  Same sentiments, otherwise.  Maybe a little young.  Someone may break out, someone else will have to, erm, be elsewhere.

Little off topic, but just wanted to throw out how lucky we are as a fan base to have all the resources we do. BtownBanners is the best forum in my mind without a doubt, but we have so many awesome sites and reporters in addition. It’s stupid. I’ve been all over other schools boards and websites and they don’t hold a candle to the Hoosiers. Quick shoutout to all of the awesome people that fuel our addiction

We'll need some size, outside of Morgan and Davis, to develop. We'll be talented for sure but also young in the backcourt and on the wing. I could see Green playing that scoring point off the bench. I completely agree about the system. I could see some small ball lineups with Moore at the 4 and Thompson or Morgan defending the post.

Starters:
Garland, Romeo, Smith, Morgan, Davis

Bench rotation:
Green, Jones, Hunter, Moore, Forrester/Thompson

I don't think we'll see a 10 man rotation but all those players could see more than mop up minutes.

I must have missed that.  Could you fill me in on what happened?  

 

Maybe Self sent in Roshown McLoed Jerrance Howard, who, by the time he was done, convinced the top ten player Kyrie Irving Romeo Langford that the best choice was Duke Indiana, not Indiana Kansas!

Did McLeod really botch the Irving recruitment? Someone told me that Crean took a call from another recruit during the in-home. I also heard that he took a dump during their in-home. What's the real story behind that? Lol.

 

It seems that the entire IU staff 'took a dump' during that in-home. Maybe Self and staff did the same with Romeo!

We might all find out if WayneFleek can do a backflip if Romeo AND Garland select Indiana.

Might post video.

The odds-on answer is no he can't.

Whatever orthopedic and soft tissue injuries you might incur from this attempt, just let me know. I'm willing to help out.
