(2018) SG Romeo Langford - INDIANA HOOSIERS

Vandy was there and we were not.

Was it because of timing or does the staff think that ship has sailed?

It’s 4 games into the high school season. Staffs have 7 recruiting opportunities or evaluations during the academic year. IU has already used at least 4 I can think of. Since this recruitment is heading into the spring (which was the plan the whole time) why would IU burn through their 7 opportunities before the turn of the new year. Since IU has 7 opportunities vandy and Kansas has 7 opportunities as well and since they are in Romeo’s top 3 it’s probably a good idea to use them. Let’s say IU burns through their 7 chances early and Romeo is playing for a state title. Shouldn’t the IU coach want to be able to be in attendance for Romeo’s biggest game of the year?

Not to mention we had a road game earlier in the day.

Every time I see a video of Romeo Langford, I get a sick feeling at the thought of losing him to Vanderbilt.

I hope he can see how much of a need we'll have for a shooter next year.

Losing him to vandy would be an absolute punch in the gut. At least lose home to a blue blood.

Looks like they are confident.
 

If they thought he was in the bag there would be no need for those clowns to be at the game. I really dont like vandy.

That makes way too much sense. Something that is lacking at times

It is a f***ing joke, losing recruits to Vanderbilt. 

We lost one. That recruit went to his home town school. There has been no one else. So why continue yo use the plural?

I just doubt we lose him to anyone but Kansas.  If he definitely wants to compete for a championship next year, Kansas is realistically the only school that it's not a stretch to say that's possible.  Plus they're Adidas.

So it'll probably come down more to if he wants to play close to home or play for a contender.

Did you know this about your namesake?

Kyle Hornsby played for a national championship with @IndianaMBB in 2002. Now, he's a top-notch cardiologist at @IUHealthBloom. "I keep hearing that people are excited I’m back, and to be honest, I am just as excited, if not more excited, to be back."

That's great! Good for Dr. Hornsby.

Also good for lots of posters on this board as it seems they're on the cusp of needing a top-notch cardiologist.

If we lose him to Vandy, you realize every other program also lost him to Vandy. UK, Kansas, Duke, MSU all would have lost him to Vandy.

While we have an advantage of being the state school we had a bigger disadvantage of have coach Crean while other programs we building relationships with him. We lost that home school advantage and have been making up ground big time but we may not catch all the way up.

You don't flip a switch and automatically get all your top recruits, and their families, to believe you are the best fit for them.

Duke and kansas are both bringing in 3 five stars next year. They are going to be just fine. MSU did not recruit romeo.

maybe they are but if he goes to vandy those programs still would of lost a recruiting battle with vandy for Romeo. Yes MSU did recruit Romeo. Tracked him through the summer after his sophomore year

Sugar coat and rationalize all you want it would be a massive loss for us. We need him far more than any of those programs do.

Don’t need to sugar coat anything. If he comes he comes if not then I follow recruiting closely enough to know that when a recruit doesn’t even list a school(Indiana) last year when he was talking about schools recruiting him then there is a coaching change at that school at the start of the recruit senior year in High school that it was going to be a uphill battle regardless of who else was recruiting him. Kudos to CAM and staff for putting us in position to land him. We might need him more than the other schools but that means little in the world of recruiting. In recruiting it’s not about the ones you don’t get it’s about the ones you get.

If your cool with a 3 to 4 year rebuild losing Romeo is simply no big deal.

I’m cool with giving a coach at least 1 year of recruiting kids and building relationships with high school coaches and the players. I’m cool with seeing how we are as a team next year with or without a player that will be in the program one year. I’m cool with a new coach bringing in a top 20 recruiting class for the 2018 class on his first cycle. I’m cool with a lot of things.

[Hoosier Guy]

Romeo would be a huge loss. There’s no other way to state it. And yes Duke, UK, Kansas and UNC recruited him too. I get that. But IU is the state school. If IU loses Romeo Langford, the top in-state player and top 5 recruit nationally to Vanderbilt, it’s absolutely inexcusable
