Yogi's Picnic Basket

Thanks Stuhoo!! Good to be back, but serious question....did I miss anything? Lol I wish I could've been back on sooner

Keion is ultimately going to make the decision that fits what he wants & no one else. I'm not saying poppa Brooks isn't going to try to convince him that that is UK. I also think it's overblown how much Sr wants him at UK though. I think Keion likes UK more than some believe. It's close I know that much. I joked with sr that he is going to get a scholarship offer soon by all these fans getting him & Jr mixed up, he got a kick out of that. Sorry for going MIA, I've tried to stay off any forums this year due to the bi polar fan base lol.

Thanks for the suggestions. Very much appreciated. Anytime I've been down I've wanted to grab a bite, but it's quite a drive for me so usually just head straight back. Always like trying family owned restaurants.

Moye, where can I get some decent grub in the area. Looks like some places are closing soon for the announcement.

Matt Scott whose deep with KU as their main media guy picked IU. So much for that Kansas is confident talk.

Sean East just sent me a DM with Romeos decision. He will be attending Evansville University. So there is that

Could be right, but I've talked to him enough to believe him. Not saying anyone else needs to. Be does read the message boards though I will tell ya that.

Exactly. Though I'm not sure about Fitzner. He can shoot though.

Once AGAIN, Archie didn't say anything to him.

Just knew that he shouldnt have tweeted it so he deleted it.

He likes our chances I will say that much.

FWIW that isn't how it went down. I talked to Damezi. He knew right after he messed up.

If we're going by recruits saying anything or players even I just talked to a recruit/player & he's pretty confident in IU's chances.

I will say this though, Kansas has been the only other option for probably a month or so. Of course they are confident, they should be. Also what is Grimes gonna say when asked? He's going to IU when he is a Kansas commit. Ask Darius Garland and Romeo has been a Vanderbilt kid ever since he made his choice. Calm down people.

I'm not saying it's not gonna be Kansas, BUT I did get a text the other day from a good source saying be prepared for something to come out to make things interesting. I text him tonight and he sent a smiley face back, so. He doesn't get much free time so if I dug deeper I probably wouldn't get a text back so I'm not gonna jump ship. Romeo said he knew at his banquet so I'd assume some news to have gotten out by now that's better than the Kansas staff being confident.

Our best projections were 42 wins by ESPN I believe. Most had us at 38. Lot of media bet Sixers wouldnt make playoffs. One being Rob Perez who ended up sending quite a few emails because he made a tweet about it lol. If you go back and look at the off season comments I got ripped pretty good for saying we were gonna be good. I didn't expect 50 wins till next year though.

Well looks like my Sixers are moving on. Hate to be that guy, but it does feel good knowing how much crap I took in the off-season. Really hoping its the Sixers & Pacers in the conference finals. I really think Washington can beat Toronto but it'll be tough. Pacers match up great with them if they get past Cleveland.

I have heard similar. It's one reason why we turned the heat up on Trendon. Obviously we like both. Things could always change though.

Anchor down phrase has never been more fitting.

BTW just so people don't think I'm ignoring them in PM's I had to delete messages cause my inbox was full. I appreciated them though. This recruitment was fun and I had a blast covering it. Now we wait till Monday. I'm looking forward to the '19 class & sharing & hearing everyones thoughts on what looks to be a great class. Mostly everyone on here has handled this recruitment with class & it makes it easier for me to share info with you guys. Go Hoosiers.

Idk what or how but if I made any other post since being there for the announcement disregard. I switch from phone to lap top & when I logged on last it posted something i was writing but switched devices. Sorry. I think I deleted them.

Great news. My boss agreed with me that Romeo's announcement was way to important to miss, so I will be there. Day has been made.

Idk why people took it as a bad thing regardless. All a visit at this point would have done was reassure Romeo no FBI findings and that his decision was the right one, so his mind was already made up on Kansas and all it did was make it solid. It would mean a lot more negative things for Kansas IMHO. Romeo telling Self they were out and he made one last attempt, the Langford's were seriously worried about the FBI thing which isn't going to just go away so what could Self really say? I just find it funny a month ago we were 100% getting the last visit but people still assumed it wasn't us, but since it's Kansas it means it would be over and it's them? I know this recruitment has been long and stressful, but I just think Romeo has his mind up by now and nothing will change it unless something drastic happens. It's late April, every school knows what their roster is going to look like or a great idea of it. Vandy taking Moyer kind of gave me a sign that they know they're out unless I'm not counting someone towards their scholly situation.

Kansas "insiders" are misinformed. Self tried getting in another visit from what I heard, but Tim told him no per Romeo's request that is well known now. Apparently someone in the Langford camp said that Tim was telling Romeo if he wasn't sure he needed to talk to with ALL 3 not just one so he didn't jump to conclusions off one visit. So if all 3 visited without ANYONE knowing then that is impressive. Not saying Self didn't but it isn't likely and if he did then so did Archie & Bryce. Maybe they facetimed or something who knows haha. Calm down people it's not even a big deal anymore. BTW 8 days, 18 hours, 51 minutes & 32 seconds away from finding out where Romeo will go lol.

Let's save that until he announces. If he does decide elsewhere, Romeo never asked for any of this. In fact he has spent more than enough time signing autographs & taking pictures with fans that suggest his brand isn't the only thing that mattered if he didn't choose IU. He'd be crazy not to honestly. The next year is going to be when he gains all his loyal fans to add to the ones he has now to battle on twitter with other players fans lol. That was a joke obviously.
