I think it's Blue Chips x10. The smaller programs aren't the only ones who "need" to cheat. Programs cheat because they don't want to be left behind. They don't want to be the only school who isn't trying to get ahead. JMO

You don't need to be all that great to be a one-and-done anymore.

I just doubt we lose him to anyone but Kansas. If he definitely wants to compete for a championship next year, Kansas is realistically the only school that it's not a stretch to say that's possible. Plus they're Adidas. So it'll probably come down more to if he wants to play close to home or play for a contender.

Every time I see a video of Romeo Langford, I get a sick feeling at the thought of losing him to Vanderbilt. I hope he can see how much of a need we'll have for a shooter next year.

I really want this kid, but we'll have to prepare for when those other programs start calling, because it will happen eventually. Can we fight off Kentucky, UNC, UCLA?

Uhh maybe 6 years.

Yes it was a joke. I don't care about any of the media stuff, and wasn't trying to take a shot at anyone, just trying to be funny ha.

A head coach who isn't good with the media will never be successful here.

Man hopefully Romeo can see how badly we need a scorer on this team.

Plenty of time for other schools, including Duke, to get involved then.

So Lipscomb did what Vanderbilt couldn't - beat Belmont.

Davis has to improve some athleticism, if that's possible. He's so slow. I love his game and fundamentals, but he's gotta put in even more work in the weight room after this year.

I'm sure it's already in this thread, but it bears repeating. Gotta give credit to Crean for identifying Durham and landing him early. Durham and Yante Maten are examples of those lower-ranked guys that he had an eye for.

Did we really only have 8 turnovers?! That's two games in a row. I can even tolerate losses if we're just not hitting shots instead of turning the ball over at a careless rate.

If he doesn't go to IU, he better go to Kansas. I will never get over the sting if an in-state kid spurns us for Vanderbilt.

Every time I see another Romeo update, I just worry we're going to lose him to freaking Vanderbilt. Trying not to get my hopes up.

Vanderbilt squeaked by UNC Asheville last night, 79-76 in front of a home crowd of 8,048 people who probably got lost on their way to a country music concert.

?? Let's just wait it out and be glad he's showing some great signs.

HAHAHA what a steal!!

I'm so tired of watching teams drain 3 after 3 on us. Year after year.

Guarantee he'll get more attention from IU fans on this board over the next year or two than Vandy fans anywhere.

Yeah me too. People who say they'd rather lose Romeo Langford or Darius Garland to Vanderbilt than a school like UK or UNC are crazy. It stings super hard to lose a recruit to freakin' Vanderbilt. Seriously, I don't want to lose Romeo to anyone obviously, but if we do, I hope it's Kansas instead of Vanderbilt. If you were going to lose your girl, wouldn't you rather lose her to Channing Tatum than Jonah Hill?

After I get over the disappointment and tepid anger at today, I take solace in the fact it's not like we're without a point guard in the 2018 class. I can't wait to follow Phinisee this year, and am excited to see him develop at IU.

If we lose Romeo Langford to freaking Vanderbilt, I'll just be done with recruiting. Vanderbilt. Seriously, it makes me sick to think of losing two 5 stars to a nothing-burger school. Vanderbilt.....
