Technically most of his picks are right, but still being sub 60% is not very impressive on 247

It's actually quite horrible. Most of those dudes do make the late changes to tout their records. Mainly for those late night twitter arguments they can point to that when people question them when they act like they know everything.

Honestly from looking at the dates it looks like he doesn't change them very much. Most guys would be a lot worse if they couldn't change it 3 times a week lol. Meyer has changed his Bagley pick 3 times in the last 2 weeks or something like that. UK to USC to now Duke.

This I do agree with.

But early you claimed he only picked when he was in the know.  Obviously not, hes just guessing.  He heard Duke was out and thought Louisville was the obvious choice.

Yeah it also shows when they change the pick too. The only kid he even changed on was Randolph. Went from U of L to UNC. His Mayan pick was from his first commit. Lol didn't know it was such a big deal to say Moore was their Bozich. Didn't say he was as good or anything just saying he is one of their main guys dang. You guys act like I was trying to rain on the Romeo parade. I actually said just today I believed we would get him.

I think calling them their Bozich implies we should put the same faith in a pick of his as we would if Bozich pick Romeo to IU and I just can't even bring myself to do that.

Doesnt sound too enthused to talk about IU. I think what he said most of us already knew. Maybe Archie makes him a bigger IU fan in the future.

I really don't get the appeal of U of L right now though. Simmons & Ramey are borderline 5 stars. Then they are in the top for Brown, Dort & Romeo. These are kids that could go almost anywhere, so why go somewhere with all this bad publicity and talks of the banner being taken.

I really wish the NCAA hit schools as hard as some of these kids they single out.

Yeah he isn't. He is from Nashville area and is a Kentucky fan.

They're putting guys into the NBA. That is more than likely the end goal for Romeo. 

That and a short drive across the river who wouldn't want that.

Yeah, a short drive across the river to get shot in the face. A short drive across the river to a corrupt university. His family wants him to be close but not that close. IU is in this one until the end and should land him.

I'd say poor west Lafayette, but you know...

[reconmkd 4,457]

He sounds like some fat guy living in a trailer with a laptop. He said he doesn't expect Archie to land any 5 stars. What a ******. We will, if he's as good of a coach as we all hope he is.

I caught part of the interview. He really sounded like he wanted to be there. I especially liked the part about how these commits are low level 4* and acted like it was no big deal FCTC would have been on these guys as well!

I actually agree with this tbh, but to be fair his family seems very disciplined. It is very telling that Romeo has been a U of L lean for awhile sides the Duke rumors that seem like forever ago now. I feel like if it was them, he would have pulled the trigger by now. The last few days I have seen A LOT of U of L commitment talk though so I am pushing my enthusiasm back a bit. Still think the longer the better for us though.

The only reason that you are hearing alot of UofL talk is because no one `absolutely no one' has ever given us half a chance at him. Don't care about no damn CB pick from a homer beat writer. Everyone is getting their panties in a wad about info posted on their forums. Funny about CB picks...just looked at Jerome Hunter's last night. All OSU and Michigan. Just one for IU! This was 8hrs before his commitment. Until Romeo officially announces UofL, I say he is ours to get!

YES! I'm following MoyeNeeded into battle on this one. WHO'S WITH US?
RAAAARRRRRRRHHHRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!

[MoyeNeeded 3,073]

I agree. It may sound like sour grapes, but completely true. What could possibly be the justification of going to a $h!t-hole like Louisville? 

IDK you tell me? They play in the best arena in CBB. HOF Coach. Just 6 miles to his front door step. One of the absolute best all- around athletic programs in the country. Can't find a reason.

Romeo is going to IU. I really do believe that
