Yet Duke still has a 20 percent rating on Romeo and they are off his list lol. Sent from my SM-G935T using BtownBanners mobile app

So basically you would say more likely a current player meaning a precious Crean recruit leaving. With a chance a current recruit decommits? Sent from my SM-G935T using BtownBanners mobile app

I just hate being in this situation. I know it has to have some effect on a kids decision. I also hate it because Crean did this so often. But I understand Archie is in this situation because of what he inherited from Crean. If we lose someone I hope it's not any of the people he has recruited so far.

I get the feeling is Garland commits to us we are less likely to get Romeo. Guys who are ranked this highly and this desired don't want to be an oversign. I feel good we will get one but not both. But I prefer getting Romeo. Sent from my SM-G935T using BtownBanners mobile app

Any idea of who would recommit? I hope it wouldn't be phinesee. Sent from my SM-G935T using BtownBanners mobile app

They still haven't offered him yet. Many other schools have. Sent from my SM-G935T using BtownBanners mobile app

I would say that but also Cal goes for the top 10 ranked guys. Not that he doesn't get top 20 guys either. But on a team like his loaded with talent it's the difference between being a starter or coming off the bench. At IU and Michigan State he would be a starter.

Kentucky makes me sick the way they come in late on these guys an make an offer. I know a lot of that has to do with him not knowing whose going to be back so he waits longer. Too me Keion isn't the typical one and done player he goes for. Sent from my SM-G935T using BtownBanners mobile app

I agree but why hasn't the fluff piece shown up yet. Sent from my SM-G935T using BtownBanners mobile app

Crean used to get when he took the job. He did well at first at getting the in state players. Pretty much after 2012 it all came crashing down. I have much more confidence that Archie won't let that happen. Sent from my SM-G935T using BtownBanners mobile app

Crean was pretty much self aware he wasn't going to get in state players that were top rated anymore. He burned too many bridges. People who get on us for wanting him gone are crazy. Sent from my SM-G935T using BtownBanners mobile app

What you have heard about his relationship or any of his former players for that matter? It seems like Crean burns bridges. With Indiana high school coaches he seemed to hold a grudge against them if their players didn't come to him. At least thats what I read on forums in the past. Not to mention anyone instate saw he couldn't coach. Sent from my SM-G935T using BtownBanners mobile app

I feel like we are in a really good position now. But the fact we should have to be even playing catch up is ridiculous. Sent from my SM-G935T using BtownBanners mobile app

Reading this article just reinforces to me that we needed to get rid of Crean. The comment about how he wasn't being recruited by Indiana before and how this made him unhappy. And the fact he didn't understand it. Seriously?! I'm so happy Archie is there now. Sent from my SM-G935T using BtownBanners mobile app

I hope the give him ample attention. Romeo needs to know Indiana wants him more than anybody. Sent from my SM-G935T using BtownBanners mobile app

So is the unofficial visit the only one we will get ? Sent from my SM-G935T using BtownBanners mobile app

The way him and his Dad have talked about us that's the sense I have about it. At this point the it's at least clear the fight is between us and MSU. Sent from my SM-G935T using BtownBanners mobile app

The only reason we were on his list before was out of courtesy. With Crean there we were never a serious consideration. I think right now he likes Archie and just wants to see the direction he is going to move the program. When Crean was here I think most kids in state stopped believing we could win a national championship after 2012. Sent from my SM-G935T using BtownBanners mobile app

I really hope so. For the longest time I have assumed we wouldn't get him. Sitting here in the final 7 speaks volumes of the progress Archie has made. I am a New Albany resident and graduated from New Albany High school. Nothing would make me happier than to see him go to IU. Except for the maybe the sad U of L and UK fans lol Sent from my SM-G935T using BtownBanners mobile app

The question is whether we are the leader now or is it still Louisville? I feel like no one is recruiting him harder now than us. Sent from my SM-G935T using BtownBanners mobile app

How much effect has the scandals at UL effected his decision? He says it hasn't but I can't imagine his parents would be crazy sending their kid to a place like that. And if he cares about academics Louisville doesn't come close to us or Vanderbilt. Sent from my SM-G935T using BtownBanners mobile app

If he values education we should be ahead of Louisville. Sent from my SM-G935T using BtownBanners mobile app

I wonder if a study has been done on how often players go to schools who don't have the same shoe contract as the AAU teams have. Sent from my SM-G935T using BtownBanners mobile app

Ok I just wanted to know if it was just conjecture. I feel like this is the big reason Garland could end up at Vanderbilt. I really hope this isn't the main determination as to where Romeo goes. Sent from my SM-G935T using BtownBanners mobile app
