Stop. He’s a projected top 5 pick

he's still firmly a top 15 talent. Though I can't imagine anyone thought his shooting would be what it is.

I'd be terrified of Romeo's 3 point shooting if I was an NBA gm. That **** is broken 

Yeah, I have to admit that the fool on the Purdue board did get one thing right - Romeo is a bad 3-pt shooter.

We regressed to the worst play in the league, any disagreements?

Not that I can back up with facts

We have no organization offensively. Traded a offensive coach for a defensive coach but the players can’t figure it out. Love Romeo but he needs to sit out this game. He’s off!

Archie deserves plenty of time (like at least this year and one more) but eventually he's gonna have to teach shooting and FT shooting better if this is gonna work out.

It may require bringing someone in to improve FTs, his Dayton teams struggled at the line too.  Frankly, the outside shooting was inconsistent as well.

He did. But he is sitting in the bench. 

We need a guard who can actually play D and shoot. They aren’t that hard to find. As virtually every other team we play has 1 or 2

I will just add...this game is exactly why you can’t lose to Nebraska at home. Just too tough to beat even decent teams on the road in this conference.

He is definitely one and done. He will be a top 10, maybe top 5 pick. Poses potential and can develop his shot without class taking up time. 

[monskisprodigy 1,865]

Alright, getting off here...we are headed for an epic meltdown. 

Injuries aside, we still just aren’t very good. I’m not sure how much Jerome or Race would even move the needle. Bottom line, we have a roster full of top 100 kids, multiple 4 stars, potential Freshman of the Year and 2 all big ten players, and we still suck. 

[Aaron 4,290]

Romeo it has been accurately pointed out should NOT be a one and done in the ideal world but since NBA drafts on potential he'll be a lottery pick.

[Demo 19,809]

It’s fun to talk about the details and minutiae. But shot making trumps everything. Most important skill in the game. This isn’t a good shooting roster. Nothing can fix or mitigate that.

And Anthony Bennett got drafted number one. Doesn’t mean he’s a number 1 talent

The issue is the roster. Talented freshman class but only 1 elite recruit. Meaning the others are going to take some time. I’d expect more of the same next year.

It still means he’s a one and done.

One thing for Langford to not gave a good day offensively but guard someone please!

Haarms and Morgan both get the ball and it's a foul on Morgan?
