Yep I think Mr Langford just said stuff that way to keep the suspense up until Monday for other fans.

Agreed, I have noticed that he does indeed seem like a legit good guy.

Gotcha. Thanks for that info. By no means was I saying it as a fact, just seemed like he was that site’s go to guy, for the most part, for info just based off how people react to him and rely on him for inside info. I heavily prefer my dose of Chris007...and this site as a whole to begin with.

Nope, Stuhoo pointed out who he was and i responded. He ended up saying something else after he posted that saying what he has isn’t insider info, but something related to Romeo he has been working on and was going to reveal on Sunday. The only thing that made me think it had more substance was the fact that he said if news gets leaked about it before Sunday then there will be no point in sharing what he had. He’s a poster on another IU message board, Hoosier Sports Nation. I wanna say he’s pretty much their version of Chris007, ha.

Yep, that’s who I was talking about, and that all makes sense, thanks! Plus, I just saw him post not too long ago now that what he plans on revealing on Sunday isn’t insider info, but just “something to do with Romeo that he has been working on that he hopes people will enjoy”...so yeah, it’s nothing anyone on that site was thinking it was.

An insider on the other side who is a very trusted, respectable guy said he has some news he will share on Sunday as long as it doesn’t leak before then, in which case he won’t be saying anything on Sunday...hmm, ideas on what it could be? Wonder if any insiders on here could know what he’s talking about and whether it’s something we may already know....my giant stab would be Hurt reclassifying and coming to IU with Romeo. With the one and done rules likely changing in the near future, he may want to get the ball rolling with getting to play one year in school and head off to the NBA before he’s unable to do so......or, that could not be it at all, ha

I’m thinking he was just sneaky and smart enough to think to say something like that to keep the suspense alive and make people think it could very well NOT be IU.....(but really it is )

Late Monday night into the next few days afterwards, we will begin to see the “we didn’t want him anyways. He’s not that good” comments from Vandy and Kansas fans...

If I see Chris007 or Pap respond to your post saying “PM sent, pictures included” (of signed papers), I’d probably pass out, hahaha

It feels so great to have this much confidence about getting high level recruits...and it’s really only just begun.

Close, a bit northwest of Auburn in Albion. I actually work just a couple miles outside of Auburn though.

How long of a drive would folks be willing to make for the announcement I wonder? I’d be looking at a good 4.5 hours coming from about 25 minutes north of Fort Wayne....hmm, thinking..thinking...(thinking my wife would call me insane)..

Knowing what's about to go down in the IU recruiting world, and then the results that will follow because of it, got me pumped to watch the video on YouTube when Archie was introduced as the head coach at Hoosier Hysteria. Seeing (and experiencing since i was there) the response the fans gave him, and then the look of "holy heck, this is awesome" across his face as he waved to the crowd when he walked out and looked around, kinda got me teary eyed, lol. So excited about what he's going to be able to bring to the table here at IU.

It really is as simple as that. All this Kansas talk was bound to happen and no one is gonna come out and shoot anything down because they want the hype and excitement to build up leading people to really wonder what he’s gonna do. If his mind is made up and he knows he’s going to IU, there’s really no reason for Romeo or his family to come out and deny any anti-IU rumor. They let people talk and make the announcement when it’s time. As long as he knows hes coming to IU they will just let the hype and suspense build up.

Well if the Langford family are the type of people we all believe them to be up to this point, they would surely stay away from being involved with any type of bribes Kansas tries to throw their way. They should know darn well that in just a year or two’s time from now, Romeo will be making all the money his family could ever dream of once he’s drafted in the league. Why risk doing dirty business with Kansas for a one year fling? IU is going to propel him to new heights and he’s gonna be making bank when he’s done with the candy stripes.

I’m thinking if Self did indeed stop by to see him, then Romeo got his shot in person to say no thanks.

Yes please

Right, that’s true. I didn’t see anything on there about Bill Self being in New Albany, but have seen other people say they have seen or heard about it. Knowing everything we know pro-IU up to this point, lets say there’s truth to Self seeing Romeo...would it even be cause for concern at this point?

Yep, on the Kansas 247 site, someone said “there will be some new info on Langford coming out over the weekend.”

Not having to play at Wisconsin or at Ohio State will be nice.

The main thing I would be dealing with if/when that happens are the sore loser Ohio State and Purdue fans at my work accusing Archie of being a cheater.....they were already saying we are cheating just because of being in the running with Romeo.....really??!!

It’d be so cool to get commits from TJD, Brooks, and Watford all at about the same time after Romeo. Talk about making a splash...my excitement is starting to shift over to what happens AFTER April 30th.

Yep, there’s been things piecing together here lately that make Romeo to IU make too much sense to just be smoke. Like mdn82 mentioned, if all this leaked info that has been going around been about one of the other teams, we would be the ones thinking we don’t have him.

Same here. Most of my co-workers are all Purdue, Michigan, or Ohio State fans and dog on IU as often as they can, but when I told them we hired Archie and what he’s been able to do up to this point, they’ve been shaking in their boots..

Vandy poster: “six weeks ago Vandy was a done deal. Now the wind seems to be blowing a different direction. What happened?” ...you’re Vanderbilt and don’t have Archie...that’s what happened.
