(2018) SG Romeo Langford - INDIANA HOOSIERS

[HinnyHoosier 4,858]

Romeo likes the offense. He recognizes our guys are not utilizing it to its full potential, and still feels Archie is getting a lot out of them. I think they understand that the combination of returning players + incoming recruits at IU probably gives him the best chance to have some degree is success while also allowing him to be "The Guy".

I also wonder if Tim was keeping information on communicating with RP close to the vest. While likely true that they don't communicate much (seeing as how they're currently each other's competition for a state title), I'm a little hard pressed to believe Tim knows how much communication there is with Garland and Grimes but not RP.

True. However he stated the garland pull
is basically nonexistent, he’s not visiting KU or Vandy for a game, and Romeo was impressed with Archie’s coaching style. It doesn’t get much better than that

DM says the alpha dog pull is all to real. Who you going to believe Tim Langford or DM? I think DM would tell you tim is playing the media.

He made some nice comments but it's to an iu writer asking iu questions. I honestly did not read anything that makes me think he is ours. Tell me I am wrong?

Reasonable middle of the road, take. What I did gather is him announcing at McD game seems very, very plausible.

Side note: Alex bozich has been taking some not so subtle jabs on twitter regarding recruiting. Towards LSU and Vandy in particular. Good for him!

A lot to like in that ITH article, until I got to the part where he doesn't talk to Phinisee as much as Garland or Grimes.

But ultimately I just don't think that's going to be a big deal.  Those are 5 star guys who played against each other in AAU and All-Star games who keep in touch.  NBA guys have the same camaraderie too and it doesn't always mean they end up playing for the same team.

I just can't see an alpha scorer like Romeo wanting to be in the same back-court as Garland.  DG will get up as many shots as he can because he's used to carrying a team.  He's a scoring point guard.  

And as far as waiting to make his decision - he probably just wants to see how each team ends their season.  I mean honestly if IU ended up going 14-17 he'd probably think we aren't nearly ready to be competitive next year.  He doesn't want to play for a loser next year, that's for sure.

That would be odd having an alpha dog and an alpha scorer fighting over shots. Now DM does not think its a big deal that will keep Romeo from vandy. Time will tell what happens but DM could possibly end up eating crow on this one.

I like Bozich, but he always has some hot takes on things. Some are pretty bad, too.

Shittu had knee surgery, either yesterday or today, confused how they're saying he can be back by start of season? Normally ACL injuries take around a year to heal fully.

9 months typically now. Up to a year if other ligaments are involved.

Yeah it seems like it's faster than a year now with modern medicine. Definitely not the career jeopardizer it used to be. OG was ready at the start of the NBA season in mid-October after tearing his in mid-January.

Even if he is back, he will miss all preaseason workouts/practice. Best case he is fully up to speed by conference season.

I could go without hearing or reading the word "alpha" for the rest of my life and be fine with it.

Maybe they could add “alpha” to the curse word list so it bleeps it out every time

I would never have used it if DM didn't constantly repeat garland was the alpha dog.

Romeo Langford heads to the bench with 38 points. His night is complete. The crowd chants "IU, IU, IU, IU..." as he checks out. New Albany leads 87-41, under 2 to play. #iubb
Inside the hall
New game same chant

I appreciate those fans so much! Way to be!

From Osterman:

Final line for Romeo Langford tonight: 14-of-18; 8-of-11 on 3s; 2-of-3 free throws.   38 pts; 8 rbds; 3 asts; 2 stls; 2 blks.

I think Osterman forgot to tell us he also ran the concession stand at halftime!

Never seems to have any hot takes about the IU team, though. Can't risk that press pass being revoked.
