Don’t ever change BTown Banners posters, never change. Lol. Working a long day and coming on here during a break was the entertainment I needed on this day before a holiday. What kind of message would that send to future Indiana kids if CAM stopped recruiting them when IU is in their final 3? Some want to move on to 2019. You as a fan can and maybe some on here honestly should move on but the Indiana coach isn’t going to stop recruiting a player because some other top 10 kid picked a school in which IU wasn’t even involved with. Romeo’s recruitment is pretty simple at this point. He has 3 choices all of which have there advantages and disadvantages. I personally think it will be IU when it’s all said and done but if it isn’t I will continue to follow an Indiana kid’s career. He has done everything to make his family, school and state proud of what he has done so far. Whoever gets him his getting someone special. If you are able I encourage you to watch this kid play live regardless of u think he is going to IU or not

Great post USPS. I agree with the last line 100 percent. Seeing him twice already this year and last night felt just as awesome as the first time I seen him against McCutcheon. Whether we get him or not I am glad Archie got us in the mix. Andrew Slater just picked Vandy so they may have the upper hand at the moment, but it isn't over. If you can't follow his recruitment with class and constantly freaking out anytime news comes out about KU or Vandy I would recommend not following anymore.

The crystal balls all started going to Vandy in the two weeks before Garland’s announcement. The same thing is happening here. Hopefully we don’t have to go up against Drew anymore in recruiting battles.
Jesus, it’s one thing to lose a kid from Nashville to Vandy. It is entirely another to lose an instate recruit to that ******* school.

It will be 95% vandy within a week. Very predictable.

We're not getting Romeo but it could be much, much worse.  Surfboard Fred nearly gave Crean another year and if that had happened Archie would be now locked into a long term deal with O$U and our 2018 recruiting class would probably be filled with more Prillers.

FWIW Shittu signed with vandy in the early period because vandy did a press release.

Why wait so long to announce?  Confirmation no such thing as a Vandy insider btw

I like everything about your post except not getting Romeo. You may be correct, but I have to believe in Arch.

I’ve been preaching not setting expectations high with Langford. Gotta think the ball rolls towards Vandy now that Garland and Shittu are there. And let’s not forget Kansas. They are in a much better position to compete now. Indiana is the sentimental pick and that’s about it imo.

He can still do both and pick another school. I have laughed at the vandy insiders before but they have been 100%accurate so far and the iu insiders not so much. So if they say Romeo to vandy is a done deal I expect it is. He will not want to be stalked by iu fans,all season long so as I stated before expect his vandy verbal shortly. Hopefully we can find a stud grad transfer in the spring

I promise that he WILL NOT verbal to Vandy before spring. He is not the type of player to relish being booed in cornets of the state.

I agree we are not getting him. I just hope drew doesn't come after more indiana kids in the future. Romeo is gone but we gotta protect the 2019 kids.

Its pretty much like tre jones listing minnesota but going to duke. You keep the home school in it but in reality they aren't really in it. I just honestly never thought we'd lose him to vandy but it's a bad dream now. He may have already given the silent verbal.

Don't get too discouraged.  Darius Garland deserves a lot more credit in this recruitment than Drew does.

How could you not be discouraged. We lost the best in state kid in awhile to vandy. Probably the best since Eric Gordon. It sucks.

I love the potential of our team with Romeo if he were to come. People seem to forget how much difference a go to guy helps a team. A true go to guy. It let's others become more comfortable in roles and makes the whole team better. A senior Morgan, junior De'Ron & sophomore Smith & Moore with Race & Jake is a good to great front court. Romeo would stabilize the back court and RP would thrive with him. Add in Green & Durham as well as Hunter, Jones and Damezi and I truly believe that team could be just as good as the one Vandy could have with those 3 together as they won't have much depth at all. I see the appeal in playing w those guys specially Garland, but people need to stop acting like it's a done deal. Archie is gonna continue to recruit him and make his pitch. Until Romeo says otherwise, I would think any of his top 3 have a good shot.

Garland must honestly be the world's greatest salesman to sway two top ten recruits to vandy of all places. Sign him up for a 500k sales job.

Because our coach hasn’t been on the job 8 months yet. I’m not discouraged at all if we miss out on Langford.

I think you need a break from recruiting man. Not the end of the world IF we don't get Romeo.

[IUHAHN81 2,285]

When it comes to the whole recruiting thing in general, I'm not worried about our staffs ability one bit.  We aren't always gonna get the top state of Indiana recruit.  That kid will always get pull from all the top programs.  We will win some and lose some.  Ill gladly take our states 4 stars consistently and sprinkle in the 5 star Indiana kid when it works out that he wants to be a Hoosier.  In the meantime, we go steal another states 5 stars

I should never have fallen for you guys claiming he was coming to iu right after HH. Same with garland. I learned my lesson plain and simple. Don't fall for internet rumors period.

Okay first of all I as well as others never said he was a done deal. I admitted I was fed misleading things, but when it came to Garland I always tried to warn people. Sorry to have let ya down but I don't recall saying IU had Garland wrapped up. The almost committing after HH a lot of people assumed not just me or anyone else for that matter. I get being excited for a recruit and all but it isn't life or death man. Getting too attached isn't a good idea. I know you keep saying you're not but sounds like you are. Not trying to take a shot at ya just some advice man. Also if you read some of my post on Garland I admitted I was hearing from pro IU guys so take it with a grain of salt. Romeo as any kid is a completely different recruitment. Just let it play out.
