(2018) SG Romeo Langford - INDIANA HOOSIERS

[tortex28 379]

Well, this is not encouraging. Might as well lock this thread now.

Still not real solid proof there or anything though

Who is the source within the Nashville/AAU circuit?

Good question could just all be hearsay

The other thing is weren't people saying how peegs was saying in chat how good things looked for iu and romeo. Something like he wasn't ready to call it but felt very good. And then you get the Romeo to vandy is basically a given posts. Man somebody is going to be way off.

That's not my theory. My theory is he is waiting to make it look like it was a REALLY tough decision and he would have loved to play at Indiana BUT he just loves Bryce Drew and Garland and how they plan to use him. It was so hard, he had to think about his decision all season long. optics.

Pretty much what Wilkes did as well.

Romeo with Vandy's entire fan base. 

 

He was never telling Darius Garland no. 

Beats scissors.

What I've been saying all along.  You'll see that at MCD game announcement.   I love Indiana, I love all the fans and the support they've given me all the years, etc etc.  BUT I have to do what's best for me and I think it's best for me to play with my 2 fellow burger boys, a wink a Garland and Sittu, which is at Vandy.  And he'll say what a tough decision this was and how IU will always have a place in his heart etc which isn't true as this recruitment was over in the fall.  But that's about what you'll hear verbatim.

Vandy needs him much more than Kansas does.

Not if Kansas wants to be a ultimate threat to win the national title next year. Without Romeo they are in the discussion with Romeo Kansas and duke are probably the favorites. Without Romeo Vandy is probably a borderline tourney team and with Romeo they are probably a tournament team that could get to the second weekend. I would say he is much more important to Kansas in terms of winning a national title

I guess I’m gonna be dumb and respond to you. What about that picture says Romeo to Vanderbilt?

You don't see?  His jacket has black on it and neither Indiana nor Kansas wear black.  It's also Nike brand, IU/KU are Adidas.  It's all right there.

[MikeRoberts 7,084]

That’s cool and all if they are shady or dirty. Does anyone not think Kansas would not outbid them if this were a bidding war? He means more to Kansas than Vandy. I just wish people would think about what they typing before they type them.

Leverage, options, lots of reasons to keep Kansas around.

He was all but going to Louisville, the poster child for cheating. He then pivots to vandy who is in the sec, has no history of success and is landing top players out of nowhere, one of which is Shittu who’s recruitment is worthy of an investigation on its own. There is plenty of smoke here to what business decision means. Building intrigue, a brand but also setting themselves up financially, maybe now, maybe in the future or both.

Latest article on the fbi investigation suggests 50 schools are involved in illegal recruiting and that no players are free.

Add it up

I see him wearing the same Nike jacket that Peter Jok was wearing yesterday at the IU game in the stands. It’s right there he is going to Iowa

He’s literally doing what he said he would. He’s taking his time in the process

Ah, but how important is he to Bryce Drew? This recruiting class would be unprecedented at Vanderbilt, and after just one season they'll all be gone. Drew has one shot at this: to make as big a splash as he can next season, and leverage that success into a better job at a better program. Bill Self doesn't have that pressure at Kansas; he's already at the top, and will have another top five class again in 2019.
