Step away from the cliff people. My god it's ridiculous what some are saying.

It's sad that a kid from New Albany won't end up at IU or UofL, but instead will end up at Vandy, helping Drew audition for his next stop. B.S.

Potentially won’t end up at IU or UofL

Still feel like Romeo is a Hoosier. We never had Garland, so people need to stop acting like we did and that it’s a failure. Romeo has likely known for awhile that Garland is staying home and hopefully Romeo stays home too.

Many of our instincts were right about DG.

I don't YET have those instincts about Langford, but it is easy to be discouraged about our chances after the news today.

Sometimes building up hope and hype over a recruit doesn't do anyone any good.

If I were predicting right now, it would be Romeo to Vandy, but I reserve the right to change my pick at the last minute like Meyer!

I actually think that if UCLA really was 2nd for Garland, then it minimizes this entire narrative that Garland and Langford really want to play together. Obviously playing together is a thought for them, or Langford wouldn't even have Vandy in his three, but UCLA being #2 for Garland tells me it's not as big a driver as we might think. It's an option, but not near the top of their lists of reasons to go to a school. It's a 'nice to have'.

Garland knew he was going to vandy he just wanted everyone to know he couldve gone to a basketball school if he really wanted to. Tonight he can celebrate while watching his future team likely lose to belmont haha. Think our chances with Romeo are still solid

I hope we get Romeo. I will say this..

 

Indiana basketball is bigger than 1 or 2 recruits.

If we lose Romeo Langford to freaking Vanderbilt, I'll just be done with recruiting.

Vanderbilt.  Seriously, it makes me sick to think of losing two 5 stars to a nothing-burger school.

You and me both. Following recruiting became a hobby of mine for a couple of months but now I will find something else to do in my spare time.

It's so addicting though, lol. Once you get used to missing most of the targets you go after, it gets easier.

Archie's batting average >>>>>>>>>> Crean's

Following recruiting is not for everyone. Definitely need a short term memory but like u said it’s addicting.

People only need a break if they let a kids decision effect their lives moving forward. I follow recruiting as close as anybody and for me personally I don’t need a break. I chose to watch Garland and others (Swider) in the summer knowing there was a chance they wouldn’t end up at IU. Was I disappointed today absolutely but if u love following recruiting u better have a short term memory or you are going to be miserable. Maybe since this was the first top 10 kid IU has had a shot at in awhile got people who normally don’t follow closely jump in and follow recruiting closer but as you know this happens. At the end of the day I’m fine following as closely as I do because at the end of the day 13 kids are going to say yes and become Hoosiers and wear the candy stripes. If I track them and they decide go elsewhere I will end up watching them more closely in college then I would before. I can’t wait to watch Romeo on dec 9 at Southport even if he decides to commit to Vandy and I can’t wait until the summer to repeat the process over again and track new recruits

I agree and this and DG's recruitment have opened my eyes very wide. It's a tough world out there if you follow recruiting closely. I get invested in them, but I have too much going on in my own life to worry about what a teenager is going to do. At the end of the day only the kid knows. Garland family has soured on me the last few hours, but Romeo I will follow regardless of Vandy, IU or KU. I do think more people got invested that normally don't and it has hurt the perception on here. Honestly, I've moved on already. Hope Garland does GREAT at Vandy, but unless it is UK, UF or any big game in NC for them I probably ain't paying attention. Romeo is the focus from here and out and he should be.

I am with you man. I'd just not even follow recruiting and stick to watching games. The fact vandys even a player for him makes me sick.

I know it's already been said, but I'm glad Archie got those commits in July and then went after the big fish. Crean would have done it the other way around and that's how you end up with our last two recruiting classes.

Not worried about recruiting with Archie. We'll be stacked with 4 stars at worst. The Tim Priller days are over.

Say it ain't so

I just can't see Vandy landing 2 or 3 top 15 players. The $EC definitely pulls in more than their fair share of 5* recruits for various reasons. However, Vandy pulling 3 top 10ish recruits...

Vandy getting 3 top 10 recruits would stink of something very fishy. Things like that just dont happen with a new coach at a non basketball school. The ncaa would want to keep a close eye on that if it happened.
