(2018) SG Romeo Langford - INDIANA HOOSIERS

[HoosierMatty 467]

I kind of fear him announcing at the McDonald's game. If only because it may be awkward to announce IU with Garland there. But if it's Vandy won't be so awkward. If he decided to wait this could only favor IU.

I don’t think Romeo announcing at the AA game is bad for IU.  Romeo is his own man and I would hope that he doesn’t care about hurting someone’s feelings when it comes to this situation.

I fear Romeo announcing at the McD's game. I get the family wants both sides there when he announces but just seems convenient to be out of state, near Garland, Shittu, and whoever else they are "recruiting." We'll find out soon enough though.

Announcing for IU at the AA game would put them back in the national spotlight. That’s how it should be viewed. And that might be how it goes down

If it's IU it will be announced at the New Albany gym.  You can bank that.

I don't fear the AA game, only because it was on record as that being a possibility before his decision was made (allegedly). Doesn't seem like his recruitment depended upon Darius Garland.

[BGleas 7,917]

I don't think the McDonald's game is an indicator one way or the other. As has been mentioned several times by people, this is about family and brand. His entire family will be there, and the McDonald's game is best for his brand. IU is also best for his brand. It adds up.

Further evidence to the theory that Garland has been a mole for Drewfus from day 1. They both knew all along he was hometown Vandy-bound and has been recruiting for them ever since.

If Garland truly wanted to play with Romeo that badly, he would've waited a little longer and gotten a better feel on Romeo's recruitment before committing to Bland-erbilt.

Hinny, we're gonna make Drewfus stick!

Gotta believe it's down to IU & Vandy with a wing commit for Kansas in Ochai Agbaji.

Eh. I doubt Romeo cares about some 3 star playing over him. Romeo will start wherever he goes.

Just seems likely. They are oversigned by one with Billy Preston leaving. Transfers happen, but I'm leaning towards IU/Vandy

Right, seems more like this is a response to an understanding that Romeo not coming.

That's how I see it, but crazier things have happened I guess

It'd be nice if something surfaced that Drew payed Garland. Lol. Where is the FBI when u need them?

They're busy working with Izzo and company figuring out how to make sure he keeps his job.

[Bailey7878 2,506]

I'm wondering if they have a shot at Montgomery.  The Vandy fans think they're going to land him and a couple guys on Rupp Rafters who live in Nashville said that Garland got to him during the Italy trip over the summer and has been working him to Vandy ever since.  Most think he's Duke bound though.

So garland is single handedly swaying 2 to 3 5 star players to a trash basketball school? These guys could go anywhere they want. I've never heard of such a thing and boy are these vandy fans arrogant. They think they are this 5 star destination now.

If Vandy is already oversigned for Romeo, how in the hell are they going to add EJ Montgomery, too?
Here's another kid they're trying to reclassify to 2018. Blake Hinson (6'7" 230lbs PF from Bel Aire, KS) is currently ranked 134 in 247 Composite.

IMO, this feels like Drew is trying to cash in on this recruiting class and get the hell outta dodge to the next job.

You got it. This is drews one shot before he leaves and probably leaves vandy on probation.

It really is Garland who is pulling things together. What will Drew do when he is gone?

This is a one time deal for drew. His recruiting will go to crap after this year. At this point it would be kind of funny if Romeo and Montgomery go elsewhere and the AD is stuck at vandy with shittu and his bad knee.

Banked and deposited. Man you are sure in the know I tell you. Your more connected than the janitor.

The Vandy trolls on the Rivals board sound very confident about getting Romeo.

some IU fans on here think they are getting him also

“A good coach who is very enthusiastic (maybe the next Brad Stevens). I think we are about to see unprecedented accomplishments like an Elite 8 or Final 4.” This is straight from the Vandy board and I thought some in our fan base had unrealistic expectations lol
