Trendon Watford's dad Ernest tells me the Romeo Langford to IU decision could have a snowball effect on @Trendon_2 & other recruits. "He sets a 'blueprint' I believe for how Archie utilizes Trendo

I was told on Tuesday don't worry about recruiting. Interest in Indiana has never been higher from high school students. The staff thinks we will get someone better than Carton in his place.

They won't back off, nothing to hear, he's still listing IU as schools that are involved heavily.

What's so negative in the Rivals piece?  The kid has talent and we were never going to be a sure thing. I certainly don't read this as we're dead in the water.  He's a '19 so there's lots of time for Archie and staff if they determine he's someone we truly want.   

Until this point, the two schools that seem to be doing the best job recruiting Watford were Alabama and Florida State. Alabama has already had him on campus, and he’ll be headed to Florida State when the Seminoles take on Duke. Indiana is one to watch as well as his brother Christian Watford  was a star player for the Hoosiers. And as always, if John Calipari gets involved in his recruitment, Kentucky will be a factor.

This is my own completely made-up perception, but I think Archie is really putting an emphasis on this "inside/out" approach. He made another reference in his Andy Katz interview this week to building from Indiana and the Midwest out. Again, my own made-up perception, but I think he's come to the conclusion that Brooks, TJD and Watford aren't all going to go to the same school, so he's probably prioritizing the Indiana guys over a kid from Alabama (even though his brother played here). 

I'm assuming that he wants/would take Watford, but he probably sees more long-term value in terms of in-state relationships, etc., in landing Brooks and TJD.

Brooks is far from a sure thing though. Why not stay hard on Watford?

While I like the 'legacy' concept that Watford would bring, I think Coach Miller is approaching this the right way. I am a big fan of mining the local kids first and then working out. If he was anyone except Christians little brother, I wouldn't care.

This makes sense. He may already have an idea as to what Watford is looking for or not looking for and this may push AM to go after other kids harder. He's met with TW so if he thought we had a really good chance there is not doubt he would put the full court press on for this kid.
