(2018) SG Romeo Langford - INDIANA HOOSIERS

[tortex28 379]

I'm so ready for this recruitment to be over. At this point I don't even care where he goes. If he ends up at Vandy then we all know what's going on. 

Me too!

If he does go there I wish him the best of luck trying to raise his stock in that situation. Today was a moment for Vandy to shine and they absolutely did not do that. As for the second part of your comment, I have no idea what you mean....so....yeah.

Replace way with say....but I figured that was obvious....obviously not....darn phone autocorrect.

A poster on Peegs said his dad, who refereed Rob Phinisee’s game tonight, asked Rob where he thought Romeo would go and Rob said Vanderbilt. So, another negative data point.

I believe the Langfords when they say a decision hasn't been made yet, but it's discouraging to me how he seems to be closer to Darius than any of the other IU recruits.

Drew has the inside track on this one with Garland feeding him minute by minute info. Just hard to compete with that

Me too. When I looked at the picture of Romeo at the Vandy game, he looked like he was ready for it to be over. This decision dominates their lives. No wonder some recruits like to commit before their senior season.

Did the recruits get to sit where the team benches should be???

This is why the idea that he’s known but didn’t want to announce for fear of IU fan backlash makes absolutely zero sense. He’s trying to chase an Indiana scoring record and state title. Why he voluntarily bring on all of the stress that comes with recruiting just to avoid some boos?

Boos that wouldn't have happened either.

In all honesty I would love to get Romeo but i think recruits like TJD are more important. One he is going to be a 2-3 year player while Romeo is a one and done. Second he is more of an Indiana kid. The reason I say this is because he is in the middle of the state. Lets be honest New Albany is 10 minutes from the Kentucky border and if Louisville wasn’t into late night girls and $$ for recruits this recruitment would have been over months ago. Would I love to get Romeo yes but it’s not the be all end all. We are in good hands with Archie.

As many many wise men have said:

“It’s not who you DON’T get, it’s who you get.”

So, we ‘got’ Race, Rob, Jake, Damezi, Jerome and possibly Romeo Langford.

We already got really good coming in next year.

Hoosiers.

You forgot Jerome

This^^^^^. My exact thoughts every time I hear this argument. I simply cannot see fans at a H.S. game, booing a kid who is going for the state scoring record, because he didn’t choose their collegiate program. That said, I do think there may be some smoke here. What IU fans did to the McIntosh kid from Northwestern got some national attention.

Regardless of his decision, IU will be back to prominence soon. Obviously that would probably happen quicker if he brought his talents to Bloomington, but if he decides to go to Nashville then best of luck to him. One year of play in Bloomington won't make or break our program!

Sean May announced for North Carolina and then played a season at Bloomington North. Many other talented Indiana high school players have announced for other schools and made it out just fine. I think the "he doesn't want to deal with the blowback" is overstated and done by people who want to slight IU. 

[TheWatShot 14,010]

Obviously our fans haven't been happy with the decisions of the players who have left the state, but I always got the feeling the fans' animosity was directed to whoever was coaching IU at the time, not the players themselves.

Exactly and he wouldn't have to sign autographs for two hours each night either. Heck may lived in Bloomington and was an iu lock until he went and met with knight in texas. Losing may was tough but I fully believe he did not choose iu because of bob knight. I don't think his dad wanted knight to shun him which he would of done. Knight was a great coach but a very petty and bitter man.

Struck me as odd when Romeo said he may announce his choice at the McDonald's game, or around that time, because if that's the case, then he really hasn't made his decision yet, as some seem to think.  I could see him not announcing at the all-star game if it's not Vanderbilt because of Garland being there at the game.

Passengers on the Titanic thought it was going to be great when they got to NYC also lol. The more I watch Miller coach, and this present team develop, the more I think it'd be great if Romeo comes to Bloomington, but if not? Ok, we're gonna be in good shape no matter what. I'm thinking his decision is more crucial to his future than ours. Be a part of a program with great history and a promising future... or Vandy? 

I agree.
