All jokes aside his visit being great so far actually has hardly anything to do with Self. He is being a teenager and enjoying himself. The thing with IU which he loves is all the attention. So far it has been the opposite there and it kinda sounds like he is just enjoying a little break from all the craziness.

Gordon's 247 rating was .9993 Langfords is .9984. At Margins that small it's not ridiculous to argue which player is better.

If you take %50 of the teams shots you better score

I was a preteen running around the court acting like I was Bracey when he was here haha. Got yelled at in basketball practice for mimicking his free throw shot

Gerald Green's rating was also very high in high school as well as many others. They are given that rating based off the class they are in most of the time. Everyone has their own opinions, mine is Gordon was a absolute star and had the potential to be a franchise cornerstone before injuries. Not a knock on Romeo one bit though at all!! Romeo has that potential but I see him more as a 2nd star in the NBA. That is still usually a complete program changer in college so.

Gordon made threes effortlessly from 30 feet as a teenager. Incredible.

Romeo did as well. I was able to play against him all throughout middle school and he hit 30ft threes back in 6th grade.

The thing about Eric Gordon is that even as a high school freshman, you pretty much knew he was going to eventually be a McDonald's All American.  With Romeo, you knew he was going to be good but not this good.

I watched him put up 44 in an 8th grade game, in 6min qs, against Bloomington South. Yes, we all knew he was going to be this good. He scored 20+ as a FR against Reitz in the regional. I really don't think Gordon is/was as good as Romeo. How many did he have in the semi state against Southport again... as a SO?

KU visit is all but wrapped up. Nothing exciting or bad happened. Hearing just a typical visit which is great news for us. They needed to blow his socks off lol and that isn't the case.

Also, Grimes is signing in the early period. 100%. No question and KU remains in the lead. KU is planning to see him again this week if that means anything to anyone.

No problemo, figured I may have a few PM's throughout the day lol so I wanted to give an update. No info worth not posting. Should be an article or two out later on as everyone probably knows. Tim Langford always gives some quotes to local media so be on the lookout. Matt Scott is someone worth following on twitter for it or any other news.

Don't feel comfortable saying that. Puts me in between a rock and a hard place lol. Just for closure tho even if it was announced by ESPN but not Romeo I would still say the same. I have found teenagers can be tricky.

Sorry if already asked, but any idea what his timetable is now that his visits are all wrapped up?

Do you think he'll narrow it down this week and commit/sign in the fall, or is that still up in the air?
