I'm sure it's been said, but I absolutely love that our class is now higher than Vanderbilt's class. The way everyone was talking you thought they were the second coming of the fab five.

That and our 5...I think it'll be Race. My B1G predictions... 1) Michigan State-assuming Ward comes back. Still have most of that stellar 2016 class 2) Indiana- IMO two of the 5 best players in the Big Ten. 3) Michigan-Will still be good without Mo. 4) Maryland-should be higher but have a terrible coach 5) Purdue-Edwards comes back. Decent grad transfer coming too. 6) Wisconsin- Happ may be the most valuable player behind Carsen and Romeo 7) Ohio State-KBD will be tought to replace but I like Holtmann. 8) Nebraska-Should be higher but have another crappy coach. The rest will fight for the scraps. While I'm at it here is our Day 1 starting line up PG Devonte Green SG Romeo Langford SF Zach McRoberts PF Juwan Morgan C Race Thompson Bench in order: Justin Smith, Jerome Hunter, Robert Phinisee, De'Ron Davis, Aljami Durham I think that Jerome and Phinisee could sneak in by the end of the season. If Justin can hit the 3 ball (or Juwan more consistently) then he will start.

I think the media is going to undersell this team next year...not saying IU hangs banner six but I think they compete for a Big Ten title and make the second weekend of the ncaa tournament. Sparty, UM, Purdue, and Ohio State all have major losses. I'm sure UK and UNC will be in our bracket though...

Purdue is the same way.

The UK boards are priceless too..

Courtesy of the Kansas board..LOL I feel like there are a lot of Trae Young parallels here. If Langford ends up being as good as Trae Young (extremely unlikely) it’s possible that Indiana could have a season like OU’s next year (10 seed, mid-conference finish), although OU had a better coach and a bit better supporting cast.

When was the last time we had 3 In-State recruits in the same class? This is awesome. Welcome Romeo!!

I hope the sound isn't crappy quality.

I sure hope he is better than Diallo!! I could honestly see him being a top 3 pick whenever he goes pro. I think he is underrated even at #5.

http://www.bigxsportsradio.com/listen-live/ About to go off the air. Will be on again at 6 eastern.

Absolutely INSANE that there is an 8 hour radio special for his announcement. Only in Indiana.

I can't remember when it was but I was there and he just looked confused haha.

The moment I knew Archie was the right coach was during his press conference when Doyel asked him a question and Archie gave him a WTF look.

6:00 (or 7:00 depending on the time zone you live in) needs to get here now!

Over...easily. Unless something leaks.

Something isn’t adding up then... maybe the article was to add “suspense”. Who knows. That was just the big thing that stood out to me. Not the IU comment about the fans.

I thought Rabby said he knew where he was going Thursday? Article says he didn’t... Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

are you Justin Albers?

Monday is going to be absolute chaos.

It looks like Florida is his biggest suitor. I love this inside out recruiting strategy!

You mean just like we shouldn't put any stock into the garbage that he says?

I was interested in going but I think it will be way too crazy to go. I would have to think they won't let people line up until after school hours either. They should almost have an online voucher to where you can have a "ticket" to go. Most political candidates do that at their rallies.

I was wondering the same thing. I would have to think that it will be live streamed on some local sites. I bet ESPNU will carry it.

IU hasn't won a title in 30 plus years and we STILL have more banners than them. UK, UNC and Duke have all passed or tied IU but not them. Don't get me wrong they are a great program but for all the hype they should have more titles. Although they have won a ton of Big 12 titles in a row, that conference is equivalent to the AFC East.

I'd put RJ Barrett over him and that is it. I really think Romeo will be a top 3 pick in the NBA Draft. I'm sorry but I think Zion is overrated. He will be successful at Duke and I think that is it. He is only 6'6 and really don't see him translating to the NBA.
