(2018) SG Romeo Langford - INDIANA HOOSIERS

[MoyeNeeded]

I think everybody needs to hit the brakes here -- just my opinion. It seems to me that anything about Bryce Drew playing dirty is pure conjecture. Just because Vandy isn't playing well and had a great recruiting class coming in doesn't necessarily mean there's been malfeasance going on. Remember in 2010-11? We were 12-20 and 3-15 in the B1G. Yet we landed Cody. And the next season, we won 27 games (11 in the conference) and went to the Sweet 16. So Garland wanted to stay close to home, because he's probably thinking he will be a one-and-doner, and wants his family to be able to see him play. What's wrong with that? And he forms a friendship with Shittu and gets him to go to Nashville, too. And they know Romeo, who makes Vandy one of three finalists. Why does that have to mean Drew is dirty? Alabama, which is not a traditional basketball power, had the No. 4 class this past season. Does that automatically make Avery Johnson dirty? Alabama doesn't have any more of a basketball pedigree than Vandy. Just because a school is getting player(s) we want doesn't mean it had to resort to dirty tricks to get them. Just chill. 

Likey!

^^^^^ You're lumping the player being dirty with the coach being dirty. They're separate things. People thinking Drew/Vandy are dirty doesn't mean they think Langford is. 
Of course people are going to speculate when a coach that has never even been in a recruitment for a 5* all of the sudden lands two top 10 players and is in the final 3 three for another one, at a school that hardly ever lands these types of kids if at all. If they land Langford you're looking at a class that rivals Duke and is probably better than UK'...at Vanderbilt. 
It's not like Drew came in an took them on some magical run and is now capitalizing on it. This is completely out of nowhere for both the coahc and school. 

You got it.

Nobody said romeo is playing in the mud they said drew is playing in the mud. Big difference and just because drew is in the mud certainly does not mean romeo is.

Beg to differ. There has been plenty of talk on here speculating that the Langford's were dirty.

Says he's not implicating Romeo in Drew being dirty.

Then implicates Romeo in Drew being dirty.  

Well done.

Don't play stupid.  And certainly don't imply that I'm the one that can't get the distinction.  There would be no reason for the pages and pages of talk of Drew being dirty in the Romeo Langford thread if you weren't implying that the only reason Romeo is interested in Vandy is because there is something extra being offered.  In your thousands of daily posts you've never made the distinction until you got called on it.  And if you (and others) have been so obviously clear that Drew's dirty tactics have nothing to do with Romeo, then why is this thread so focused on Drew's dirty tactics?  Because the obvious implication is that Romeo's interest are related to the dirty tactics.

Huh?!?! I didn't implicate Langford in anything. 

A coach being dirty doesn't mean a player is. 

[Stuhoo]

To me? The Langfords seem like very smart, motivated people.

If that much is true, a smart family would easily grasp the concept that playing for the right coach who can form the competitive mindset and turn a player into the maximized potential competitive and skill level NBA superstar is far more financially valuable than any hundred thousand dollar payment that a dirty coach and shoe company could put together.

Drew is dirty and thats all I know. I dont care if you think otherwise. I doubt his dirty tactics will work on romeo.

Cheating can be a lot more sophisticated in this day and age than simply handing a wad of cash over to a player and his parents. With shoe companies, agents, AAU coaches, etc., a player can essentially be "delivered" to a school without the player and family even knowing it. 

So yes, it is possible for Drew to be dirty without Langford and his family being involved in it. 

I just find it very, very difficult to believe that a young coach with absolutely zero track record for it, at a school with absolutely zero track record for it, is all of the sudden landing 3-4 (if they get the Auburn kid now too) top 10-15 players in one class. Maybe it's on the up and up, which is possible, but given the school/coach, it would literally be the greatest recruiting haul of all-time.

Alabama is a horrible example. They had to fire an employee and their star player didn’t start the season due to his dirty recruitment. So yes I would say they cheated.

I hope Romeo is watching Trae Young this year for Oklahoma and how he could have went anywhere but choose to stay home and bring his state school back to the national stage and has his team to #4 in the country. Plus we have a better returning and incoming class than Oklahoma had. The sky is the limit R-O-M-E-O!

I know people are going crazy over Trae Young but I’m not sold YET. Yes, he may score a ton of points. HE SHOOTS THE BALL 22-23 times per game!! But my god, doesn’t he lead the country in turnovers per game? I think it’s a little over 5 per? Since conference play has started those turnovers are up to a smidge under 8 (7.7to) per game. OUCH!!!

Especially with Shittu not even visiting UNC.

Oh... I've got proof that Bryce Drew and Vandy are dirty!

1. "Anchors Aweigh" is the fight song of the United States Naval Academy and march song of the United States Navy. It was composed in 1906 by Charles A. Zimmermann with lyrics by Alfred Hart Miles. (per wiki and numerous addt'l sources)
2. Bing Crosby popularized and included the song in a medley on his album 101 Gang Songs (per Bing Crobsy Disc Anthology)
3. Twice in the past six months, federal prosecutors in Maryland have cited songs in racketeering cases targeting gangs, saying the recordings “promote MS-13 and its activities.” (Washington Post, January 14, 2018)
4. "The Shot" refers to a play by Valparaiso University's Bryce Drew that occurred in the first round of the 1998 NCAA Tournament. The play came in Valpo's game against the University of Mississippi Rebels at The Myriad in Oklahoma City on M(arch) 13, 1998, and gave the #13 seed Crusaders a 70–69 victory over #4 seed Ole Miss. The game was part of a Valparaiso Cinderella run in the tournament that ended in the Sweet Sixteen when the Crusaders lost to Rhode Island.
5. “To any member of MS-13 listening, I have a message for you: We will find you. We will arrest you. We will jail you. We will throw you the hell out of the country,” (Donald Trump's "Tweeterfeeder-o-rama", December 14, 2017)

Obvious conclusion?  Bryce Drew is a dangerous criminal, and Vandy is likely a front for MS-13.

So there.
