Baltimore Hoosier

Well this was unexpected.. And people are questioning the Archie hire? Get outta here with that. You must not be paying attention to what else is going on in this recruiting cycle. No offense to Carton, he looks like he’ll be a great player, but I think there are bigger fish to fry in-state.

I find it hard to believe that Indiana will finish outside the Top 4.. However, I get the skepticism. The shooting last year for IU was ATROCIOUS. If Romeo and someone else can step up and hit jumpers, the Hoosiers will be dancing.

Indiana is looking like a long shot, with the likes of Duke, Kentucky, UNC, and UCLA involved.

How about the final?

Soooo all that being said, what's your starting 5 on day 1 one of the B1G Tourney? I've got: Green Romeo Smith Hunter Morgan

5pm tomorrow.

I've stated on this board a few times that I thought MD could get mixed up in this. The Diamond Stone recruitment wreaked.

Fantastic. Thank you sir.

I am completely unable to keep up with all the posts.. But is there some new substantial information about Romeo? Or are people just speculating based on the fact he is announcing on April 30th in New Albany at an open gym?

All th allegations are out there but to this point has the NCAA even commented? If and when any penalties are ever levied on any of the programs involved, Romeo and the upcoming class will probabaly be long gone.. How long did it take the NCAA to do NOTHING about the UNC cheating scandal?

Kris Wilkes recruitment 2.0

Kansas is looking more and more like it could be the destination if Romeo wants to come in, get PT, and have a shot at a title. He and Grimes are similar players, but I'm sure they would find a way to get them both on the floor.

The matchup for McGregor against Khabib is not ideal for sure. But McGregor has knocked guys out pretty consistently and has great takedown defense. He moved up to fight a bigger Diaz, who by the way is a Gracie blackbelt and a fantastic boxer himself. I don't see Khabib or Ferguson being able to handle Conor, especially if they can't take him down.

I don't know how you can say Khabib and Ferguson would both beat Connor.. I think people forget how dominant McGregor was and how good his stand up is. He's beaten guys across 3 weight classes. KO'd featherweights and lightweights. I've got McGregor in KO's against both Khabib and Ferguson.

Is there a date set for Romeo's final visit?

Let's not forget Ozzie Newsome and the Ravens overspending and looking like a tanking franchise by continuing a string of bad free agent signings. This one was a doozy: Ryan Grant for $29MM over 4 years.. Unbelievable. The Ravens will have a hell of a battle for the WR3 spot this offseason. Problem is, there is no WR1 or WR2.

It's funny reading some of this content. Sounds eerily similar to the Ravens message boards. Both were supposed to be big FA spenders, both have done next to nothing to address holes to date.. At least the Colts most likely have the pick of the best non-QB in the draft outside of Barkley. Chubb? Minkah Fitzpatrick? There are some stud defensive guys coming out this year. The Ravens are in no-man's-land at #16.

If whining = wins, I'm on board.

The "insiders" around here are so desperate for attention. It's pretty gross. If you have legit information, what on Earth would keep you from posting it? Premium forum or not, if it's pertinent, legit information, what would possibly be the reason? I'm just curious.

I don't understand it. Maryland had a couple dominant years in the ACC and like one good B1G season but haven't REALLY done much since the early 2000's. I live in Harford County, MD about 2 miles from John Carroll, where Immanuel Quickly played HS ball (Kentucky recruit), and got to see him and Jalen Smith (MD recruit) play a couple times during the Baltimore Catholic League season. Smith is a big man with skills and will probably be one of the best freshmen in the B1G next season. If he pans out, Turgeon may be around for several more years.

Well he's got a top 10/15 recruiting class coming in next year. There's a lot of folks in the state of Maryland calling for his head, but the Athletic Director situation at MD is up in the air (Kevin Anderson, the current AD is on a 6 month sabbatical). I think he's got at least one more season.

Recruiting.

I love Green's creativity.. He shows flashes of greatness but too many times is careless with his passing and handling of the ball. I would really like him back next year. I think an entire offseason to work with the IU coaches could help transform his game and work within Archie's system.

This team needs shooters so bad.. Would love to have a 6'3 PG who can shoot 42% from 3.

I just heard from my sister's, boyfriend's, cousin's, great aunt's co-worker that he heard three guys talking who go to school at New Albany and have chemistry class with Romeo's teammate's girlfriend and she said she may have heard the teammate say that Romeo could potentially be 51% IU - 47% Vandy - 2% Kansas, but wasn't really sure.
