I'ma gonna get in before the post-Vandy visit articles:
All - be prepared to read and hear about the Langford family's post-Vandy visit comments. These comments will include:

1. "Loved the atmosphere."
2. "Impressed by Coach Drew. He really cares about his players"
3. "Coach Drew showed me how I would fit in with his offense. I can really see how that would be a great fit for my style."
4. "Vandy has great players coming in next year. Can see how we could be a super-class."
5. "The tour of the campus, academics, and facilities was first class."

If I am already able to  'pre-quote' the post-visit interviews, you guys can be sure that they don't mean all that much; largely that:

• The Langford's will be gracious guests who will be treated very, very well.
• They could all be true or not; the player and his family will assess all of their options and try to make the best, most informed decision based on all factors.
• This visit will contribute to the information set needed to weigh those factors. Period.

In other words, in advance: stop freaking out and jumping to rash conclusions!   ;)

Good advice, but it won't be followed

Maybe your should take your argument up with peegs. You can tell him that he and rabby are liars.

They might not be liars, but they clearly have the ability to be absolutely and completely wrong.

My guess is drew is going to highlight how awesome the pro styled offense is!!!!! Heck if they beat Florida all 50 students may storm the court.

I'll be disappointed if Romeo goes elsewhere since he's obviously a great Indiana player. It will really sting if it's Vanderbilt, though. I wouldn't love him going to Kensucky, Duke, Kansas, etc. But at least those make sense. Vanderbilt? That is like dividing by zero, does not compute.  

Someone said earlier that he's a more important recruit than Cody. I'd argue that won't be known for a couple yrs. If he comes to IU and flourishes, leads to a great season and makes the Hoosiers fashionable again.....then sure. But if he is just a typical one and done with some highlights, but not great team success? I'd say no. Cody was part of a resurgence, B1G champ and #1 seeded team. Tangible results. The fact Crean pissed away that momentum wasn't his fault. 

Long story short- I want Romeo because he's really good and should speed up IU's return to prominence. I don't think his making the wrong choice and going elsewhere derails that progress, just slows it a little. IU > Romeo, IMO.

This post should be re-purposed for all potential recruits when they visit other campuses.  Just switch out a few names and we'll be set. 

It could also be used when said recruits visit Bloomington as well, as some fans tend to get there hopes up too much every time we see the inevitable positive post-visit interview.

a little nugget from a Vandy forum - 

We need a Vandy fan sell out this Saturday: 
Students- please try to get creative with signs & chants
Admin & coaching staff- start now marketing to anyone & everyone. Give tickets away to elementary schools if necessary 

Hope they have milk cartons in concessions

Someone should put the Vandy crowd on the side of a milk carton and send it to Romeo.

Is anyone going to the New Albany game tonight against BNL for Romeo's senior night? Didn't know if anyone was covering it? Is Peegs or Rabby going to cover it? Seems like someone should cover senior night for the biggest recruit in recent years. Especially when he is playing against a former Mr. Basketball and all American at IU.

I actually gave my tickets away. Had a friend in town that really wanted to see him and this was his only opportunity.
