I think it sounds like a five star being recruited by a bunch of big time programs. I’m not worried one bit about this one. 

We shall see.

Let's not have TJD and Keion pairing at pUKe instead of IU...

I agree that would be the worst ending. As we get better on the court, I see it becoming fewer top IN players will go to UK, UNC, UVA, or Mich St. We have a coach now genuinely liked by recruits, parents, and coaches. With our rich history it could be banner time.

This seems to be the case. I hope this is accurate and longstanding. If so, we are set, at least set to have a contending team regularly because Indiana turns out great talent year in and year out:

Certainly not, but it's a far cry from  "committing a few days after Romeo", unless, by a "few" they mean "250 or so".

Yeah, I am starting to get that "not so easy" feeling about TJD.   I'm sure I will be told to relax, but the longer he waits the less likely he comes to IU, IMO.

Yep. His quote made it sound like he might be waiting on "someone" to offer.

Of course, it would be nice to have our dream class lined up for 2019 already.  However, let them enjoy the process, as long as we land the right pieces in the fall or spring.  After getting Romeo, I feel a bit more confident about our recruiting.  We'll land a really talented group for 2019.

The only problem with that is that his commitment could help us with other recruits.  Him waiting around to enjoy the process may put him with a weaker team if we lose out on other top recruits while he waits.

Just food for thought.

For example, lets say Romeo committed to IU back when we first hired Archie Miller instead of committing after most of the recruits had already decided.  It's possible that could have swayed other, more highly ranked 2018 recruits to look our way.  We ended up with a pretty strong class anyway thankfully.

Trayce is doing the smart thing. Why commit now when you have time. What if Romeo has a horrible experience here and we have a really bad season. I want him to commit now like everyone else but things could always happen
