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.....

Same thing with the IU mod on Rivals. He was promised by Winston no one would know the pick before him. He was driving to Nashville this morning when the story broke, but turned back around when learned of the decision. Winston played IU for fools.

I swear if we lose Romeo to freakin Vanderbilt I'll just die inside. Seriously. Vanderbilt.

fwiw the mod over on IU's Rivals site is also going, but he claims not to know what the pick is.

The number of people at Brentwood Academy who like and follow Darius is greater than the number of Vandy fans at Brentwood Academy. Come on bro stop the troll.

I guarantee that's what half of us do too. Heck, half the time I just scroll down the page and only stop when I see a yellow heart next to someone's post indicating that it must be good news. 9 times out of 10 it's either Chris or Yogi haha.

Yep, and all of those Crystal Ball picks that haven't been changed in the last 6 months will start to update starting tomorrow morning too. Could be fun, and I'm expecting good news.

According to the knowledgeable KU fans on the Rivals national board, they have no shot with Langford. None of them are even suggesting he could commit to Kansas.

If we need anything on this team, it's an elite PG. Garland would probably make a bigger impact than Kyrie Irving would have made on that '09 team.

What do you mean by this? Archie lit into the team in the locker room and none of the players spoke up at all?

Yeah this is the most glaring problem imo. I started getting concerned when we fell behind by 20, looking at our roster wondering who the guy to bring us back would be. That's when I realized there just isn't one. No Yogi, no Blackmon, no Bryant, not even a Troy Williams instant offense type of player. We just don't have a go-to offensive player right now. And it doesn't help that our defense is really bad.

Our roster just isn't very good. Granted we're better than a team that gets blown out at home to Indiana State, but we just don't have enough guys right now. I don't think Hartman is going to make that much of a difference. We'll get better eventually, and when we do, the roster is going to look a LOT different than it currently does.

Yeah I agree. And furthermore I'm starting to wish that Robert Johnson didn't play at Indiana, or for Indiana.
