My server tonight at Dinner was named Damon. My father asked him what his name was because he is old and can't read/see. Lol. Anyway, server responds, "it's Damon, you know like Damon Bailey, my father loves IU basketball".

Good ole Indiana basketball.

So hopefully, my kids can be served at restaurants by Romeos in the future.

Only if he makes the right choice :)

Man. I called this kid overrated 2 months ago. I must've been in an altered state of mind. Hes the real deal and then some.

I was wondering the same thing

I named my son after Damon Bailey, too.

If you haven't seen this, I'd recommend you watch it. Halftime entertainment, right? 

 

Tough, tough young man. Don't know him personally but seems to be a wonderful human being. If not for injuries I think he would have had a good pro career. Saw him play one time in high school and beyond his physical abilities you could just tell that his basketball IQ was head and shoulders above anyone else on the court.

He's clearly not given up on breaking Damon's record.  You just hope that he doesn't end up the victim of a cheap shot that costs him playing time.

I don't think he has to really worry all that much about cheap shots given how in awe of him most of the opponents are but there is a really simple way to avoid it: don't keep him in the game once New Albany has a 40 point lead on some hapless team.

Nah. These teams have pride. There was a YouTube vid of a game earlier this year where they were fouling him hard and calling him soft. Romeo just plays and doesn't get rattled. Crazy cool head.

Here's his 3/4 court shot last night. Walking to the bench as it drops. Unreal!

If he breaks Damon’s record, wins Mr. Basketball (which is a foregone conclusion) and goes to IU, he might be the biggest legend ever in this state

Forget tapping the brakes, let's hit them so hard the wheels lock up, the tires smoke and there are 50 feet of skid marks. When it comes to basketball legends in this state, Romeo's story is still an outline. Maybe a chapter has been written, but that's it. He's got a loooooooooong way to go before making such a declaration.

Notice the key word in my post. Might. The rest would depend on how he does at IU. I have no doubt he’s destined for greatness though

Yes, the potential for legendary status is there.  One big problem could be if he only stays for a season or two.  If he puts up George McGinnis type numbers (quite unlikely) in his first varsity season, that would definitely do it.

Let alone if he brought a national championship to IU. Holy crap. It’d be like Joe Maddon in Chicago and Nick Foles in Philadelphia. Legend

What's he averaging per game now.
