(2018) SG Romeo Langford - INDIANA HOOSIERS

[LamarCheeks 20,668]

If Romeo picks Vandy, it'll be the most disappointing IU-Vandy news since Chris Lawson left B-town for Nasvhille in 1991.

What's the Billy Preston situation?

Got in a minor car accident on campus earlier this season. No problem usually except that he was driving something very expensive. So Kansas wants to get a "clearer understanding of the financial picture of the car."

Just seen a article about it no police reports or anything. Sounds suspicious.

I googled a few articles just to remember what was going on. Apparently he hit a curb and caused a small amount of damage to his own car (less than $1,000). In KS I guess no police report is required if it's a single driver accident with less than $1,000 damage. I don't find the lack of a police report suspicious in that circumstance. But the university was obviously made aware that he was driving something expensive.

Rumor I heard said it was a Lambo. Hence the need to get a clearer picture of financial situation.

What's suspicious about a Kansas basketball player driving an expensive car?

Yeah that's only suspicious when it's used

Saw on another site that Kansas had to send an assistant to see Romeo today because he had to deal with the Billy Preston situation

Always assumed Preston would never play due to his insanely sketchy academic history. But, hey, impermissible benefits work just as well.

This is absolutely the post of the year. , Shut down the voting, close the polls. I can't stop laughing.

We will all have to pitch in and buy him an anchor.

Not sure where else to put this, so I'll put it here since it's relevant to Romeo.

I'm watching Darius Garland in the Tournament of Champions on CBS Sports Network and it pains me to say, he's really good.  In the 4th quarter and he's got 35 points against La Lumiere.

But it also occurs to me, there's no way another scorer who wants to be featured in an offense like Romeo Langford would mesh well with Garland.  Darius is so used to being the guy, throwing up tons of shots, I just can't see Romeo wanting to play with him.

It'd be different if Romeo was a 6'9" post player, but they're both back court players.  I just don't see him playing at Vandy with Garland.

I agree with ALL of this. DG is silly good. But he certainly relishes being the dude.

@MVanTryon: With 42 points tonight, @yeahyeah_22 moved up to 9th on Indiana's all-time scoring list. Next up is @carmelathletics and @ButlerMBB grad Billy Shepherd.

Good point, but coach Cal puts tons of guys who are used to being the man together every year for a chance at a championship run. These kids are also used to sharing the rock with all the summer league and AAU teams and such. If he's only planning on being in school one year anyway, but you may be on to something. I hope you're right.

Coach Cal gives them a chance to compete for a championship every year, and they also have amazing facilities. Vandy... Not so much. He'd get to watch the Darius Garland show for a season while barely making the tournament if he's lucky.

The waiting is the worst part. But it’ll be worth it

I don't think he will do it

Nope as soon as he sat out a game he basically lost it. 

Should still be 4th

[MikeRoberts 7,516]

Coach sS said earlier in the week that Kansas is backing off, but they did send an assistant to see Romeo earlier this week. I am thinking it is still Vandy. Something stinks.

SS is a hack. Why would Kansas or any school for that matter back off of a top 5 player when they are in the final 3? You don't and that is why they are continuing to send coaches to see him.

 

Edit, heard calhouns health may be impacting this one
