(2018) SG Romeo Langford - INDIANA HOOSIERS

[323SGrant 1,176]

The players spend most of their time in Cook Hall but both locker rooms need to be state-of-the-art. It is an arms race and the blandness of the AH locker rooms have been noted by recruits.

I’m surprised Fred Glass has us behind with these locker rooms. Surely he can get the funding for this project!

Like I’ve said, if that snowball lands in hell, I’m gone

I’d feel better if he canceled his Kansas visit. Same with Darius. But who wouldn’t wanna go to Los Angeles

I believe that while things look strong with Romeo, pumping the brakes until we get some concrete news is an excellent, prudent idea!

"They didn't choose IU because the locker rooms are sub par" I can just see someone using this as an excuse if we don't land either one.

You're not a true fan!!

Pumping the brakes on a commitment in the near future is a good idea. Pumping the breaks on a commitment is a bad idea.

A month ago I thought a fall signing could happen but was unlikely. Now, I'm about 50-50 on a fall commitment from Romeo. We'll find out in less than a month.

I’m only pumping them on over playing my expectations before they become reality!

Very good advice. I'm afraid that there are some who are taking a few (unsubstantiated?) rumors and pairing it with high-level optimism to suddenly think that a Langford commitment to IU is likely to happen soon. Reading all the different stories out there right now, an imminent commitment is possible, but is nowhere near the certainty that the last few pages of this thread may lead you to believe. From everything I am reading and hearing, an early commitment is possible. As in, it COULD happen. It's not out of the realm of possibility. But I have yet to see an accredited source be willing to bet on it right now.

It seems like there are some of our Hoosier comrades who are suddenly worried about if he takes the Kansas visit because Langford's dad was quoted in saying that they don't HAVE to take the Kansas visit if they don't want to. I agree, that's a quote that COULD be a positive for IU. However, the plan all along was/is to take the visit to Kansas. And seeing how methodical, careful and level-headed this recruitment has been, I think it would be foolish to get your hopes up into thinking he's not going to visit Kansas this weekend. And if he goes as scheduled, I don't necessarily believe that it suddenly means he didn't have as good of a time at Hoosier Hysteria as we thought he had. It just means he's giving due diligence to one of the other schools he likes.

My point? Optimism is always refreshing and more fun. But be careful to not let optimism and wishful thinking inaccurately portray the reality of this recruitment. I think we're in good shape, though.

Hoosier Guy, you want to step in here?

Uhhh. Apparently you don't know about Hoosier Guy's source.

 

Seriously, I agree with your take. In fact I took Tim Langford's comments more in line with your take. Almost telling the fan base that Romeo hasn't made up his mind yet. There are no restrictions on him closing down his recruitment, and at this point he hasn't decided to do so.

Just the same, this place is made for us to chatter about this stuff ad nauseum. We're fans. It's what we're going to do.
