It baffles me when people say rankings don’t matter. You’ve got to be able to recruit high level players to win at a high level

Phinisee is a top player. Rankings don’t show it. But he’s playing like an All-American and that’s all that matters

These two posts seem kinda contradictory....

No but this delusion that these freshmen are going to have this instant impact gets played out every recruiting class. It rarely pans out except for the top 20 guys. Even Victor and og had marginal first years. They were not instant impact

There's not much choice next year. The freshman will have to make an instant impact. Phinisee and Hunter will probably start most games. Rankings usually have ~ the top 15 guys that you know will come in and change the dynamic of a team, but after that, it's a guessing game. I guess I just think Damezi has a chance to be an instant contributor because he can shoot and the current team doesn't have many guys who can.

Romeo on the other hand, let him come lead this team from the start. I can picture Phinisee throwing dimes to Romeo already.

I guess my grandpa is at Romeo's game today and said he's scored 16 in the span of 3 minutes.

OG absolutely had instant impact. 

[IUHAHN81 3,268]

Anyone including Romeo who can come in and make a jump shot or a 3 more than twice a game is an "impact player" to me after what we've lacked THIS season.  Just sayin.  :/

[Hoosier Guy 8,113]

Romeo is gonna go off the rest of this season

Check the stats; it took until conference play for him to become a role player. The NCAA tourney that year was his coming out party. Unfortunately, he didn't get to be a 30 minute/game all world player that he could've been while at IU.

Yeah. We are maybe the worst shooting high major team I can remember watching. From every level. Layups, Mid range, 3, FTs. Not good at any level of shooting.

He’s a top 100 player before it’s all said and done

I watched every game that season. I know the story. He was impactful as soon as he started getting meaningful mins. So.. if you make an impact your FR year, how can you not be categorized as instant impact?

Depends on your definition of instant. Whether that's becoming a part of the rotation, being a consistent starter, or being the guy like Bagley or Trae Young this year. OG definitely became a part of the rotation in 2016 but wasn't a definite starter or a focus of our opponents.

Romeo 27 at the half

Again.. if Anderson has the impact that OG did his FR year, it'll be HUGE.

Romeo Langford. Guy can play basketball. And has good hair. Must get if IU wants to be competitive next season
