(2018) SG Romeo Langford - INDIANA HOOSIERS

[Hoosierfan31]

This is only semi off topic, but i feel like vandy is def involved in something shady. Vandy almost picked up jaquan lyle when he left Ohio st. He was telling people it was likely he was going there..he always seems to be attached to shady programs..And has an IQ of about 75..how would he be able to go to a school like vandy?? They are borderline ivy league.

They're all fired up down there, aren't they?

I didn't take the time to listen.

Yikes. Final four with the way the team looks this year so far? I read that as a final four without adding Romeo as well lol. They definitely are an optimistic bunch.

That is what happens when your “insiders” are fanboys too and are unable to take emotions out their job.

"I really, really try not to post on here because I'd rather just read, read, read.

However, some of the things that have been said the past few weeks are so completely out of touch with reality that I can't stand to just sit around and not speak up.

Here's a few things about the Romeo Langford recruitment that have been said publicly, privately and sort of in the middle.

- He had a wonderful visit to IU. After the visit, a text message was circulating amongst a family member of the Langford's and a notable IU family suggesting that Indiana would be his likely landing spot.

- "Why wasn't Archie at the Bloomington South game watching Langford?" Indiana and its staff is down to (I believe) only three more chances to see Langford play live. As many know, NCAA rules put a restriction on how many times you can see a recruit. Do you think the staff wanted to watch him play Bloomington South who has no one to cover him? Or to spend the late afternoon/ evening watching a bevy of IU recruits slugging it out at the Forum Tipoff Classic on December 9th (where New Albany plays Keion Brooks, Jr.'s team)?

Furthermore, the IU staff has known for some time that this recruitment is going to drag into the early parts of 2018. So why would they use all of their days to see him in 2017? I think this is an easy point for people to follow.

- Garland: Repeatedly, Tim Langford has mentioned "business" and "business decision" privately with where Romeo Langford will play basketball. For Romeo's brand to be at its absolute peak going into the 2019 NBA Draft he will need people to be talking about him and promoting his strengths and potential as an NBA lottery pick. Being in an offense with a shoot-first PG like Darius Garland while not playing on national TV won't help his brand. Again, I've been told many times over that Garland going to Vanderbilt is a "very, very good thing" for IU and their hopes of landing Romeo Langford.

- For those who continue to be concerned about the 247 Crystal Ball and Vanderbilt. Consider: 
1.) Vanderbilt loses its three best players in Matthew Fisher-Davis, Jeff Roberson and Riley LaChance to graduation. To this Vandy outsider, this wouldn't seem like a good thing for a team and its depth to lose the three guys who lead their team in points and minutes. 
2.) "Langford can play with his buddy at Vanderbilt." Does he not have other friends that are going to play Division-1 basketball? 
3.) Bryce Drew has yet to win an NCAA Tournament game. 
4.) Compare the number of national TV appearances Indiana has vs. what Vanderbilt offers. 
5.) Have a comprehensive evaluation of the Indiana staff vs. the Vanderbilt staff. 
6.) Remind yourself Jerry Meyer lives in Nashville and also go back to some of Jeff Rabjohns' posts on here from some saying they only picked Vanderbilt for now but will change their picks later.

The tone of this may suggest some sort of anger. It is not. I can assure you. I realize this is a message board and you get what you pay for and like many modern-internet institutions you are filled with trolls and those who just want to stir the pot. I just want to use this post to be as forthright and upfront about a few things from how I understand them at current writing.

I can categorically tell you, with 100% fact, that the Indiana staff feels good about this recruitment. And a lot of things they have been told and see make them feel this way. Things can change in recruiting and a lot of times they do. But, those who are writing off Langford to Vanderbilt because you have access to Twitter and Jerry Meyer's Crystal Ball--- don't get lost."

 

This was all just posted by Coach SS on Peegs. Thought you guys would like to see this. Really good stuff this guy is more plugged in to this recruitment then anyone I know and is a legit source and he continues to say what he has from day one.... Indiana still leads.

Thats why I put it on here. I feel like everyone needed to see this. He put it in a thread started by this guys who said "a buddy of mine a is a front row season ticket holder to IU basketball games and he says Romeo to Vandy is a done deal and hes always plugged in....."

Front row season ticket holders know nothing about recruits lol. I know someone extremely well, we are extremely close and he is one of the largest donators to IU and he has court-side seats on the foldout chairs and he told me all along to watch for Archie Miller to be our coach everyone tho everyone was saying Donovan. I called and asked if hes ever heard anything on recruits and he said no he never has and neither does anyone else lol.

And for those of you who aren't aware, Coach Sam Story is far more plugged in to the Indiana high school basketball scene than some random 247 board poster will ever, ever, ever, (ever) be.

This post by Story is non-committal, realistic, and chock-full of information without drawing any unfounded conclusions.

Not saying it's not possible but when has a good school mattered to a one and done player? It just seems to be on the rare side of things. 

There have been a lot of 5 stars that did choose to go non basketball schools. I shared a list in the Garland thread. Having said that, the poster who said no non basketball school has ever gotten 3 in one year is absolutely correct

That was me. But we've never seen a recruiting machine like Bryce drew before either.

Yeah I was more making a point that there is a small chance a guy is wanting to go to Vandy b/c it's a good academic school.  That may be a secondary factor but i doubt it's a primary one and never has been for the top players in college bball. The 5 stars that go to non-basketball schools more times than not have some sort of connection with the staff/AAU program or something shady is going on. Not the case every time but the majority seem to be linked in that way.

Yeah clearly going to vandy would limit his national exposure and ball touches. I am interested to hear from our resident expert dm who says Romeo to vandy is a 100% done deal.

even though I said, I don't think he was ever considering IU in the first place, I'm gonna stick with ya Guy!

[Bailey7878]

Wouldn’t a top recruit want to be THE GUY on a team so they can show off their skills and talent? Any weaknesses will get exposed in the draft evaluation process anyways. Kansas has too many cooks in the kitchen. Romeo might not even average double figures there.

Except look at kenrltucky. All five stars and still get drafted very high.
