I love the fact that former players like Zeller, Hulls, Gordon, Blackmon, etc etc are all showing Romeo love after he committed. Says a lot about what it means to be a Hoosier

Here is the IU related portion of the article. INDIANAPOLIS -- Now that Archie Miller and the Indiana staff have landed home-state star Romeo Langford, it could have a snowball effect on players in the Class of 2019 and beyond. One of their top targets in 2019 is Trendon Watford, the 6-foot-8 forward from Mountain Brook (AL) and the Georgia Stars, whom Miller visited not once, but twice during the April contact period. Watford is the younger brother of former Indiana standout Christian Watford. Both Christian Watford and his father, Ernest Watford, were impressed that Indiana landed Langford on Monday night. "My oldest son bleeds the Pinstripes," Ernest said of Christian, who played for the Hoosiers from 2009-13 and is preparing for the upcoming NBA Summer League. "He’s excited for the direction that the program is headed. He's super impressed by Archie." Langford is a projected one-and-done and may well be gone from Indiana by the time Trendon Watford arrives on a college campus in the fall of 2019. But the Watfords still see Langford's commitment as an incentive for Trendon. "He sets a 'blueprint' I believe for how Archie utilizes Trendon’s overall skill set," Ernest said. The father also added that Christian will have a major influence on where Trendon goes to school. "Christian has a ton of influence on Trendon’s success thus far, and we as a family are leaning on him for guidance and resources," Ernest said. "I know he will do his due diligence in researching the 'best fit' for his little brother on all fronts. He is our sounding board." As for Trendon, he met twice with Indiana's Miller during the recent contact period. "Yeah, they came in there twice," Watford told FloHoops.com last weekend at the Nike EYBL Session II. "It shows that they're on me pretty hard. They're on me pretty hard, so it was a great visit. Obviously, they didn't have to tell me to much about the school too much, but they showed me film of their players that could be like me." Trendon is very familiar with the Indiana campus, having visited many times during Christian's tenure at the school. "That was like my second home at one point in time, always up there every week so just being up there, I'm familiar with it," he said. Ernest also raved about the first home visit with Miller, even going so far as to virtually predict Langford's commitment. "He really displayed [via game film] to us the hardworking culture and daily accountability that's going on at IU," Ernest Watford said. "More importantly, he explained how his system plays to the strengths of players like Trendon with tons of floor spacing- just flowing and playing with freedom, therefore allowing Trendon to utilize his full array of versatility within the framework of the offense."

I wish I could like this a thousand times.

Not to mention the fact that even without Romeo he already had a solid class coming in. It was nice not having a class being good or not depending on one guy, but boy did Romeo sure take it from good to great.

I think Romeo will switch to his preferred number 22 if Clifton will give it up

Just got done watching those videos. They had a lot of love for Phinisee and I’m glad we got them both. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

The only time I got worried was when his dad asked about Vandy fans and his sister clapped for a second. But I came back to reality really quick. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners

Archie almost literally built a wall around Indiana and told other coaches he’d let them in when he was done. Hell Yeah CAM!!! Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners

I feel like the new title was fitting. ;) Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners

Haha I shot 41 a text as soon as he picked IU and told him the site was down.

I just checked their board and it seems like he's been MIA over there regarding Romeo.

Hey I've been trying this whole be nice thing and its just not working out. lol

Oh lord dont remind me about Sirius XM.

I signed up for the three month free membership on Peegs and forgot all about it and got charged. I've been trying to Cancel all day and keep getting these different offers instead of canceling. I finally had to be a complete A-Hole to get it done.

FYI I changed the name of the thread a little. ;)

I watched Peegs facebook live and he said there never was a special guest. He said it was something mentioned by a local NA reporter and it grew a life of its own.

What was said?

Another IU pick on the Crystal Ball. We sit at 80%

Over/under 710 pages before he commits? Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners

From what I just read he might be eligible. He’s eligible as soon as the fall semester ends at Butler and that ended on Dec 12th last year and IU plays butler on Dec 15th this year so as long as Butlers semester ends before that he will be able to play.
