That was rich.  Circular reasoning is circular.  Total inconsistency.  Seems like his biggest argument is that he'll get the most exposure at Vanderbilt.  That's the easiest point to disprove!  By the time he said Memorial Hall can equal the atmosphere at Assembly Hall or Phog Allen, he was done.  Dude, Romeo has already heard 14,000 Hoosiers cheer his name at HH, and then again during the Northwestern game.  He sees greater fanbases at his high school games than what Vandy brings.  The whole article was written like a freshman's two page essay.  

Vanderbilt is going to be in for a rude awakening next year.  Two or three poorly coached freshmen--even talented ones--can't do much against a well coached Power 5 team.

Here, a current look at the power of Vanderbilt's AWESOME fanbase.  They are at their lowest home attendance in over 50 years, back when their attendance was lower because their gym capacity was lower.  And it's not just an issue this season, they've seen declining attendance before Bryce was hired to totally tank the program.

This idiot lost me when he tried to say that Bryce Drew was a better coach for Romeo than Archie. 

He lost me when he said Blackmon was "elite" and the only got worse from there. Its one of those situations when you've dug yourself a hole and just need to stop. Nope, not this guy, he kept on digging and only looked dumber.

Mentioned we only won with top talent like Blackmon... he was hurt when we won the B1G.

Lmao at that article. Someone watches too much NBA and assumes three names can carry a team in college. Let alone 3 Freshman. He seems to forget on an NBA team that had role players of Ray Allen, Mario Chalmers, etc. Omg that fan base is stupid and in for shock next year. I almost hope they get Romeo to get him fired next year.
