(2018) SG Romeo Langford - INDIANA HOOSIERS

[mdn82 25,510]

The panic-stricken responses in this thread in light of a recruit (gasp!) visiting a school in his top 3 are what two decades of mediocrity/irrelevancy have done to this fanbase.

Nah it happens to Kentucky as well.

I want this to be over, one way or another

How many times do you think the Langfords have accompanied Romeo to Indiana? It's all good. We won't know anything till spring anyway.

If Archie had any serious concerns that we were out of the Langford running I'd expect to see him continuing to extend offers.  Isn't Vandy still chasing rainbows and they're already oversigned?

I don't know if we get Romeo or not, but I think IU is still very much in it and I wasn't that confident a month ago.

And if we don't get Romeo, so be it.  I think we'll still have a pretty darn good team next year regardless.

He is brining the whole family to vandy. That is no casual visit. It sounds more like I am darn serious about going to this school.

Vandy being in his top 3 should've made that clear.  Still doesn't mean he's actually going to play there or that anything has changed.

Garland brought his family to IU

Stop! Don’t use logic!

I’m not gonna say that Romeo taking his entire family with him to Vandy means anything extravagant, but I’ll also say that it doesn’t necessarily need to be taken as only a negative thing when looking at it one way or the other. The other side of it could mean the whole family is respectfully going down there to say “thanks for recruiting our son and getting to know us all this time, But...”. So I mean there could be a positive to it as well. As others have said though, it could REALLY just be no big deal and they are just attending the game to be there.

It's possible the whole family is going because it is a longer drive that maybe his parents don't want him making by himself

Weren't a lot of you saying that you wanted Romeo and his family to go to a Vandy game? Why are you freaking out now!

I don't mind them going to see Florida destroy Vandy, and I definitely don't mind them watching Drew coach in-game!

Maybe the whole family is going because the whole family needs to be sold on Vandy. Maybe only Romeo came with his trainer to IU because not everyone needed to be sold. 

[IUrocker 2,200]

Crap, with the whole family going to Vandy, Drew’s probably gonna pull out all the stops....manikins throughout the gym to make it look more full, and speakers supplying extra crowd noise. Good thing he can’t coach and they play Florida, at least we’ve got that going for us when they visit. (I could see Drew stooping to this level, haha)

Especially down 65, there is always a wreck or something between Loserville and Nashville. I have family down there and I can count on one hand the amount of times that I have made it down there without being delayed for something.

Or maybe they wanted to go with him since he is an athlete to spend some time with him. I mean it is the weekend and I would imagine that they are off work and probably make a family weekend out of it, I mean possibly, but who uses logic anymore?

Exactly.  They might not like their son spending the night in Nashville with Darius.  Known troublemaker of dubious character.  At least tangential involvement in a pretty disturbing locker room incident.  Suspended this year under unknown circumstances.  Maybe various and sundry tomfoolery whilst overseas last summer.  

I could understand a parent wanting to be present for the Nashville trip.

My guess is drew, garland, and shittu will all get together with him and push hard for a verbal before he leaves campus. They want this wrapped up now and will try and play with his emotions

Could be...and then hopefully Romeo’s family being there would be a good thing so as to prevent him from making any rash, horrible decisions.

Exactly. Garland will be squeaking in Romeo’s ear all weekend. They will utilize every sleazy used car salesman pitch available because they can’t point to actual on court success.

If that is the case, and Romeo and the family fall for it, then he in my opinion is not HOOSIER material.  I think they are smarter than that though.

Edited your post. Lets keep the name calling towards teenagers out of here.

Mods are gonna have to lock anything Romeo related if he doesn't come to IU if this is the reaction to him just visiting with other schools. Go Hoosiers!
