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. Listening to that kid talk was painful. I keep waiting for him to one day publish an inspirational book about how he managed to go from failing Algebra 1 multiple times to acing the rest of his Algebra courses while taking them out of sequence. mookied39 and Iugradman 1 1 Quote
Popular Post American HoosierX Posted February 18, 2018 Popular Post Posted February 18, 2018 I love all the posters taking the time to post that people care too much. We are all posting on a message board talking about college basketball. It has no effect on anything and probably puts us in the top 1% of caring. It’s like a crackhead telling someone they do too much meth. IUBBFan1970, Iugradman, MikeRoberts and 5 others 7 1 Quote
wirenuts Posted February 18, 2018 Posted February 18, 2018 If it is truly a business decision, and this recruitment is not shady, then how could romeo not want to go to IU. Miller>Drew and in my opinion that really isnt even a close race. Vandy will have garland, but IU will have a supporting cast that is stronger than vandy. The fan base for IU is better, assembly hall is much better than any Commodore arena,facilities are better, asst coaches are better and I think you would get more national exposure with IU. That said, its just a one year rental....I personally would rather have another phinissee than a Langford at this point. Also, some of you guys are nuts. IU will not be a make or break situation based on this kids choice. Maybe he just doesn't want the extra attention associated with IU. Either way, Miller will get the recruits he needs to have success. Look at what he is doing with recruits that are not even his.

Bailey7878 Posted February 18, 2018 Posted February 18, 2018 So did Romeo say or do anything this weekend to lead people to believe one way or the other?Sent from my iPhone using BtownBannersThe fact he brought the whole family leads me to believe he is very serious about vandy. I personal think we may not lead at this point anymore and maybe we never did. If he picks vandy he is clearly not interested in playing in a big time atmosphere because vandy would be the worst gym in the big ten except maybe Penn state.Sent from my SM-J700T using Tapatalk mookied39 1 Quote
Popular Post MoyeNeeded Posted February 18, 2018 Popular Post Posted February 18, 2018 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.Sent from my SM-J700T using TapatalkMaybe the reason the family went with him is because the don't want their 18yr old son driving 3hrs for a trip to Nashville.

woodenshoemanHoosierfan Posted February 18, 2018 Posted February 18, 2018 That is the most illogical answer possible and it isn’t even close. What backlash? The people watching him now are more Romeo fans than IU fans. It isn’t like season ticket holders are going to watch Romeo to put pressure on him. Seriously, do you guys believe some of the things you type?Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile appYes they do.Sent from my SM-G930V using Tapatalk mookied39 1 Quote
woodenshoemanHoosierfan Posted February 18, 2018 Posted February 18, 2018 i disagree If they wanted to do that then they would of done the same with the Wilkes recruitment to drive up subscriptions. Instead months before he chose UCLA, they were saying UCLA was the front runner. If they wanted to drive up subscriptions since Bridges had IU in his final 3 and IU had 2 of his former teammates on the roster they could of said IU was in it until the end. But they said from the beginning that IU was a distant 3rd Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile appQuit with the facts!Sent from my SM-G930V using Tapatalk Quote

HinnyHoosier Posted February 18, 2018 Posted February 18, 2018 People are getting hung up on the fact his family traveled with him. Apparently he made his most recent trip to Bloomington without them. Lots of possibilities for this, most of which will be discussed here as conspiracy theories at best. As involved and protective of Romeo as Tim Langford has been, I think we often overlook the impact mom and dad have here, as well as their points of view...If my child was making the biggest decision of his life so far and I could only accompany him to one visit, it would be to the destination I thought was the wrong choice.
