(2018) SG Romeo Langford - INDIANA HOOSIERS

[Bailey7878]

In my opinion they could easily be a tourney team without him next year. Going deep in the tourney might be a different story but honestly it doesn’t take much to be a tourney team anymore. Look at the rosters of the last 4 teams in the tournament the last 5 years. Last year Vandy made it in at 19-15.

True. Louisville and Kentucky have blown us out of the water over the last 15 years. We have been down so long I don’t know if we ever recover. I don’t blame the coaches. I blame the ADs who hired the coaches and allowed them to run our program into the ground.

A lot of hype on miller and alot of hype on every coach we've hired. I was glad to get rid of crean but Miller's never won at this level. We won't know for a few years he could be great or could be another bust.

IU refuses to be bold and get a big name coach. Fred wants to be top dog and a Billy Donovan type hire would threaten his power.

You post some of the least intelligent things I’ve read on this board, and that includes “five thugs at once” and some drunk rants from Natty.

Some people can’t take brutally honest assesments of the IU athletics department. That’s why the snowflakes on Peegs whine to the mods about my posts.

I’d love to read some intelligible assessments with arguments supported by facts.

I do even if we are talking about a team that is a year away from taking the court. Even without knowing who will be on the team or which player has made significant jumps they can still make the tourney. I’ve watched South Florida, Bosie St, La Salle, St Mary’s, kanas st(8-10 in big 12), Vandy, Wake,Iowa(lost 6 of their last 7 games) and Tulsa all earn at-large bids to the tourney in the last 6 years. I’m confident that IU would have just as much talent next year then some on those teams that have earned a bid in years past.

Love all the positive vibes on the RoMeO thread.  yikes!

[HoosierCoop]

You know....we have no idea how this is going to land whether positive or negative.  You can't sit here and believe that the house is going to cave in if we don't land this kid.  If we do, there is a tremendous upside for our program that I hope will lead to other things.  So far, I love our recruiting class and I think we have a bright future in recruiting.  

In a society of instant gratification, you will have to look elsewhere because this one will take time.

Somehow, i rest at night more assuredly knowing that Archie has this under control.

I don't like the roller coaster that IU basketball has been on the last few years but I will root for no other team!

So what happen to the Bill Self rubbed the Langford family the wrong way on his Kansas visit back in October? 

 

I guess another false rumor.

Bossi is from Kansas City and I believe I read went to Kansas. Also from Rabby on the other site, he said that it sounds like Bossi got his info from Drew who is telling people that Vandy & KU are out in front of IU. Self could have had a bad home visit but they are the top Adidas school.

Snowflakes are so beautiful, each one so unique and delicate. Meant to bring a bit of joy to a cold, dark, and desolate winter. 

Now back to our regularly scheduled programming.

[Magnanimous]

We're the same team in 2019-20 whether he comes or not. Will be nice to get some momentum for the program through a commitment from him, but people shouldn't get too worked up about his decision. Two-year 5* players like Zeller, Bryant, and Gary Harris who are fringe first rounders out of hs are more valuable.

For me this is the key. Immediate impact players who are in the program for more than one year. One-and-dones are fine if they are added to a solid base of upperclassmen. Otherwise, they have the potential to be disruptive to the stability and growth of the program.

Wallow in misery much?

As a coach I don't get why you would put out information pertaining to another team, whether directly or indirectly. And in this particular case it seems more risky since you're courting a player and family who prefer things be kept tight-lipped. Of course we'll never know what Bryce Drew has said to Bossi, but that makes Drew look less intelligent oh my eyes.

This was already said on this very page.

I have to wonder if Bryce Drew has picked up some of brother Scott's "dirty" negative recruiting tricks.  I seem to recall Scott doing something that angered RMK when he was still at TT.

There was something with him and Hanner too. I can't remember exactly what it was, but I swear they were threatening to have him deported if he didn't go to Baylor.

Yep.  I think the incident with Knight involved making some kind of flyer or poster for recruit(s) that had some derogatory stuff about TT.  I guess it's all part of the game, but how much and how far a coach goes with it is telling.  (I suspect having Garland list IU as 3rd or 4th on his list when he announced might have been Drew's idea - just my suspicion).

Pretty shady stuff. It's amazing with all the attention on Baylor football that someone hasn't uncovered something big over there with Drew. He did get away with this one.
