Vandy has Darius Garland recruiting for them. Nothing more..nothing less. Coach Drew has nothing to sell other than some bs pitch that "he knows what it takes to get to the league durrr bc he played in the league durrr durrr..." Hows that working for Chris Mullin, Mark Price & Avery Johnson? All players who were 1000x the player as Drew and actually know what it takes to get and STAY in the league. It drives me insane when coaches use this as a selling point to elite talent.... Hey Romeo! Want to know how to get to the league? Don't blow both knees out at the same time....otherwise your a lock to be drafted into the lottery. Coach Drew isn't going to help you anymore than you've already helped yourself. 

Even with Romeo they aren't winning their conference, let alone a National Championship. Kentucky will be loaded with more than 3 McDonalds all Americans. Florida will be solid and have a better coach. We see this time and time again with Kansas and Kentucky. It's EXTREMELY difficult to win championships with freshman...3 McDAA's, an unproven coach, and a BARE roster outside of the top 3 players won't get the job done..... in today's college game you HAVE to have depth on the bench, with the way the game is called. Romeo doesn't solve that problem for them. 

Losing Romeo isn't an indictment on the current staff. It will be far more difficult for TJD to say no to IU than Romeo. Indiana was never high on his list and Archie put us in position to have a seat at the table. I'm not gonna lose my mind when the inevevitable happens. Archie is head and shoulders above Crean as a tactician. Time will tell whether he can recruit and sustain success at Indiana. Keep in mind he doesn't have a single player on the roster (that's able to play), that he scouted, recruited, and brought into the program. I won't start panicking until we strike out on all of our primary targets in the 2019 class. 

Short term forecast looks uncertain but I think the long term forecast is trending upward overall. I love next years class. CAM needs a foundation to build his house on.... next years class with what we currently have, puts us in position to only need 1-2 headliners in the near future. 

Very good points and as I've said before, whoever gets Romeo will be his second choice to L'ville. I could see him reconsidering the Cardinals if they're situation stabilizes before he makes his decision.

Idk about that with the possibility of a multiple-season postseason ban coming

Well, the thing about IU is, we don't need a ban to miss multiple post seasons.

That's what I meant by stabilizing their situation. The NCAA is so worthless, they may not get penalized at all.

Very true. Who knows after the UNC situation

It’s not your demeanor, it’s the fact that you post the same things every 15 minutes in every topic.

I won’t mention it anymore. I just need to vent sometimes.

I get it. It's our reality. I was hoping for an Archie miracle but instead I have to have hope and prayer.

Fort Wayne radio talking about NS/New Albany game. Interesting that they said that social media was brutal towards NS and could lead to some in fighting and such. To me it's sad that HS kids are exposed to this.

Also said they think Romeo spurns IU.

If Romeo doesn't come I won't be upset. I have high hopes that when Jerome Hunter is a sophomore he will be the level of player we expect Romeo to be next season.

More inside sources I wonder? I'll stick with my 3rd cousin. She's a rock solid source and says Romeo to iu.

So this could happen. 

Billy Donovan unstable in OKC takes job at Louisville.  Ncaa does nothing to them and they land Romeo anyway.

They didn't say specifics on the radio but just said they hope the players aren't reading all the stuff. I'm guessing twitter and Facebook.

Possible but they will have to take down anchors down and the alpha dog.

I have a feeling Donovan is done in OKC after this year. And I don’t see another NBA team picking him up.
