My wildly speculative opinion:
Garland commits to Indiana in the fall, then 80% chance Romeo commits in the fall and 20% chance in the spring
Garland doesn't commit to Indiana, 10% chance Romeo commits in the fall, 50% chance commits in the spring,  and 40% chance UNC and KU become much more serious options for spring signing. 
If Garland doesn't commit, Green or someone else other than Newkirk need to demonstrate a level of PG performance I am not expecting to see this year... KU and UNC will both be much more attractive in terms of winning potential and PG. Garland is so important to this class.

I think romeo is making his decision 100% independent of garland. Garland would be influenced by romeo to iu....just my 2 cents

As Halloween is tonight and taking my 4 yr old tricking treating is top priority(means I will have unlimited supply of candy for weeks) I won't be on here much tonight just a heads up. There really isn't anything definite out there. Snow is very much tied into the Langford clan as USPS has said. That being said the longer this drags out means nothing bad for any of the schools specially IU. Gotta remember Romeo will only be here for a year. If he waits it is likely to see what our team looks like. He knows what UNC and KU's will look like for the most part. Vandy could be interesting if Garland goes there, but you guys gotta remember as much as Archie has done he hasn't coached at this level yet. They're doing their due dilligence. All thay said just as my backup plan lol I don't think he waits till past November from what I have heard, but if he gets cold feet I get it.

I say everyone stops worrying, have some adult drinks, walk your kids around the neighborhood and have a safe Halloween because we still have both coming. They loved us before, during and after the visit. They visited another school and they didn't enjoy it nearly as much. So when it comes time to make a decision they will remember walking across Assembly Hall with 14 thousand fans screaming their name. They're not going to get that anywhere else. Archie has done a remarkable job recruiting these two kids. I say kids because they are kids and kids sometimes change their minds but nothing has changed so far. Both have to figure out how to let the other schools down and announce for us in the next few weeks so that takes time. 

As people on here know, I haven’t been worried one bit. They’re coming

Oh I've noticed that you are not worried. Some might say you are overly confident but in my world, there is no such thing so I like it. 

If it’s gonna happen, there’s no such thing as overconfidence. When is the soonest you’ve heard with Garland?

Soonest is tomorrow but I will still just stick with sometime during the signing period. 

This is stating the obvious but Garland commits, the cat is out of the bag with Romeo. There’d be no doubt

I am curious as to why you feel this way.

I think (based on my own opinion and the things I've heard) that Indiana at some point became the team to beat.  IU is a known for him.  He lives close by.  He understands the rivalry between Indiana and Kentucky, etc.  I think when you have a known entity, they sort of go to the back pocket waiting for someone to beat them.  Nobody has yet, or he hasn't committed yet.  Unless he does, I think Indiana is the team to beat, and he's going to go through the process to make sure he ends up where he's most comfortable; and also for the experience of it. 

By now, he knows how he'll fit at Indiana, what the program will generally look like; and what his life would look like in Bloomington.  Some may say "then why wait?  Commit now!"  I think it's more likely he's validating by listening to everyone else.  He knows he can get to the NBA from Bloomington, especially with a program losing, what, 5 kids?  He'll be on the floor a ton.  I also think he wants to be known as a player who helped stabilize this program.  He's a southern Indiana kid, after all.

Again, my opinion mostly.
