(2018) SG Romeo Langford - INDIANA HOOSIERS

[Nick_Bragg13]

It’s Wilkes all over again. He strung IU fans along, giving us hope, even though we were long out of the running.

Please do us all a favor and log off. If you get this butthurt over a 18 year old kid possibly choosing a different to play basketball at instead of Indiana you need help my friend.

Comment of the year (in reference to the ongoing corruption investigation) goes to the guy who said "Who honestly believed that an inner city kid with the IQ of a walnut could get into a prestigious college and wear $600 sneakers without corruption." Game. Set. Match.

Good one

Some of you are sickening. He “strung people along” what????? Clearly you don’t get how recruiting works. You start with a certain list of schools, you cut it down, and then you pick from a list of your final 3 or 5 or whatever your preference. So just because this kid is gonna pick Vanderbilt as HIS AND HIS FAMILIES choice of school for him to play at he strung Indiana people along? No. He’s a great kid that comes from a great family that might play basketball next year at Vanderbilt, Indiana, or Kansas so just shut up and let it play out. It’s gross what some of you grown adults say on here

Fyi, don't tell someone they need help, in the same sentence you use "butthurt"

Also, if you're under 16 years old, nevermind...

Not to mention him calling people morons. I think he is in high school so can give him a pass

I don't recall Wilkes leading us on. I think he liked iu he just didnt want to play for crean. He even made comments kind of stating that. My guess is with Archie he would have picked iu. Probably Scruggs as well.

Fair enough on the FBI portion. It speaks to a lot of top players, but doesn’t say all. I would venture to say there are players less willing to play that game as well as schools/agents until this gets settled. It was more of a Wild West in the 80s and 90s. Since the one and done rule went into effect it really came back. I wouldn’t say all programs are clean, ever. But should we be cynical for every top player without looking at the obvious?
 
UL was there because they were his hometown school that was a top school with a hall of fame coach. If he asked for money would he have got it there? I think so. Did they have to offer him money to go there? I don’t think so. It’s convenient for him and his family if he went there. Would he have got extra benefits there not related to his recruitment? Probably as well. I think there is a group of people here casting a wide net that doesn’t fit. If it’s just money as the determining factor he will end up in Lawrence. They are having a down year and are gearing up for a title run. They have more to gain than anyone. If he goes there, ok I would have question.

UL would have been a fantastic "business decision" for Romeo. A lot easier to look business decision-y.

I think mom and dad want IU, but Romeo wants Vandy.

 

Archie is all business, which mom and dad prefer. Drewfus is flash and flair, and Romeo, like many kids these days, is more drawn to that.

For some reason this post reminded me of the Eric Bledsoe ordeal at pUKe.  I get pUKe isn't exactly a prestigious school, far from it, I'd be shocked if Bledsoe could spell ACT if you spotted him the A and the T there's no chance he could pass one.

Nope I’m not in high school, I’m just sick and tired of watching a disgruntled group of grown adults freak out over what could very well be nothing, and drag a kids name through the mud because he might pick Vandy. People on the outside talk all the time about how crazy Indiana’s fan base is, and sometimes they talk about it in a negative way, there’s some of your negatives right there. I was fired up reading some of those.

You may be onto something there

Exactly and some people clearly can’t rap their heads around the fact that we are talking about a completely unbiased family and kid here trying to make a decision best for them, and while I am full on the train of IU is the best decision for him on paper much like the rest of you, that may not be what he believes and that’s what truly matters

How do you know how old the posters are? Why do you waste time reading this thread when it has been obvious for some time people are crazy in it? What are people on the outside? Rival fans or just lame people who dont even follow sports and would not understand?

The problem is, they want to get out of Indiana. Wilkes went to LA. Romeo will go to Nashville. A lot of kids don't want to live in a town like Bloomington if they don't have to.

Man Bloomington is an amazing place. I can't think of a better environment to spend your college years in. A beautiful and big campus, great facilities, good nightlife, etc. I couldnt imagine a recruit visiting and thinking "eh, living here would suck".

I just hope romeo visits iu one more time with family. That is all i want i think we have a chance if that happens

No it literally says “none of the kids are free”

From an unnamed source that threw out multiple generalizations leading up to that. I would be willing to wager that unnamed source that isn’t true. If he were dumb enough to take me up on that I would say Tim Priller. If he wants 5* I would say Cody Zeller. Generalizations are dangerous and are what started this dialogue. Even if it’s 95% it’s still not all and it is nowhere close to that.

That's why I thought the bringing the whole family to vandy wasn't a good sign. If he doesn't visit iu with the family again I think the writings on the wall imo. Hope I'm wrong.

Agreed. Not all business is money related, but there would have been other things for sure.
