If anyone calls Romeo overrated then they probably don't even know that a basketball is orange too.

I'm not downplaying the kid because his lack of interest in IU. I'm downplaying the kid because he is overrated and if you can look past the 5 star ranking it's easy to see imo. I've seen IU get overrated kids in the past and it hasn't worked well. Parea and Hollowell in recent memory.

He just strikes me as a kid that is rated 100% on potential. So there is a good chance that he might not reach his potential in after his 1 year of college. I also think he already is looking for someone to tell him what he wants to hear a he can get to the NBA. Watford, TJD, and Hurt are all much safer risks imo.

I wouldn't be to upset if we opted to get someone else over Brooks. I have watched Brooks play against top talent twice. Last year during the state championship against Ben Davis and this year against New Albany. I don't think his effort is great and the way he moves is very awkward. I think he has talent but he is not a sure fire instant impact 5 star recruit imo.

At this point in time I would say yes. There is always a possibility that could change.

Moore doesn't get a sniff because he wants to play like a 3 point shooting wing instead of a 6'10 post player that is willing to go get rebounds and finish at the rim. Forreter I completely different than Moore.

What do you do when your senior "leaders" decide to not show up for the games against Indiana State and Fort Wayne? Yep coaches fault alright.

What makes you say Archie gets a C? Other than the fact it seems that your opinion is he is to tough on these players that Crean recruited that don't understand good shot selection or want any part I playing defense. Oh and if you notice any of the games like Notre Dame and Duke that he had time to game plan for the team has played much better in.

I'm starting to think this is a real possibility. I think there is a chance that he could could still end up at IU but it's very questionable with the way the team has been playing.

Some guys don't like to be held accountable by a coach. When that happens it can cause the player to start questioning themselves and this can result in things such as shooting percentage to be affected. Usually these are players that aren't winners which IU's seniors outside of Hartman are not.

He clearly likes making the trip to Bloomington. It seems like he's made about 25 trips already.

Maybe Walter Ellis from South Bend.

There has been zero talk of this.

Stay away Steve.

If you added Race to the class according to 247 we would have the number 16 class. If you add Romeo to the class we have the number 4 class and if you add Race and Romeo we would have the number 3 class as of right now. Those numbers would change as UK and Duke add another recruit or 2 each. All of that was done using the class calculator on 247 also.

I also heard that Randolph didn't even take an SAT because Izzo told him not to worry about it because they would get him in.

From someone that has coached college basketball in Michigan it is well known in college circles up there that Izzo does and gets away with some shady stuff.

If we don't get Romeo then I fully expect our last 2 scholarships to go to grad transfers for next year. So I'm not surprised they haven't offered anyone else.

That's very accurate.

That's hilarious coming from Self. I mean that guy has wasted more talent than anyone.

I can confirm the crowd chants did happen. I enjoyed every second of it with Vandy in the house. I couldn't find them though because I really wanted to see Drew's reaction.

Maybe a 5'10 version.

The kid is good. I watched him play 8 times during the fall. With that he will have a tougher test tonight because Alexandria is the first team Blacks has played that mug slow him down. Not to mention he is putting a target on his back with his comments calling himself Steve Nash Jr. I can tell you my brothers team is already game planning to slow him down and we don't play till February. I do think he will stayover 20 ppg. but I don't know if he can stay over 30 but time will tell.

He is similar to Halls at this point more than he is anyone else. He is good but Blackford hasn't played anyone that's any good yet so we'll see what happens.

I don't think CAM has shown much interest since the offer.
