(2018) SG Romeo Langford - INDIANA HOOSIERS

[Ajwhitis 705]

I know this has been put out there, but it's been pretty widely reported the basketball staff at New Albany firmly believes it's IU that is in the drivers seat, maybe that's not true now, but that's how they had felt.

Stop being such a pessimist.  20000 easy.

And all the posts will be based on assumptions.

I'm not sure I can take much more of this thread -- or the Romeo recruitment. Here are photos of me when this thread started -- and now. And I fear the stress is only gonna get worse as his announcement approaches ...

Maybe the reason the family went with him is because the don't want their 18yr old son driving 3hrs for a trip to Nashville. I wouldn't necessarily want mine to.

Man, there a ton of 18 year old freshman that are living on their own far from relatives, 18 year men and women in the armed services fighting overseas... to each his own but I would hope he could make it there on his own if he wanted to go it alone

But why risk it?

[MikeRoberts 7,013]

But why risk it?

I suppose, like I said, to each his own but he is months away from doing everything on his own so a little practice is probably a good thing

What if we finish the season well and get an NIT invite, and get to host a home game or two?  That might be a good time for the Langfords to come to Bloomington again.  Better yet play VU and destroy them.

My daughter is a senior in high school, and she has driven to Chicago by herself, so I trust her driving, but when it comes to visiting colleges we have gone as a family.

Doubt Vanderbilt would be in the NIT.

So let me get this right—Romeo—an Indiana legend is going to pick Vandy— a baseball school with virtually no basketball history. Oh—in fairness they have won 3 —yes just 3 —regular season basketball conference championships in their history and there was that one year—I kid you not —one time— in their history where they made it to the elite 8 in the NCAA tourney. Heck Archie took Dayton to the elite 8! As far as history—no comparison whatsoever to IU or Kansas where basketball is king —multiple conference and NCAA championships and you play in front of packed and loud crowds instead of a half empty arena with country music being piped in for the fans. In fairness I give Vandy an educational edge but that is moot since Romeo only plans to be there for a year and he was originally favoring Louisville—enough said. Location seems at least even between IU and Vandy—Kansas further away. He is supposedly an Adidas kid who played on the Adidas AAU Circuit and IU and Kansas are Adidas schools while Vandy is Nike. Coaching—have to give the edge to Kansas here as far as proven accomplishments—but Archie is as good or better (better imo) than Drew. Players—Kansas has the advantage here. IU and Vandy would be similar in talent but Romeo has to know there is a steep learning curve for freshmen when they jump into college ball. Does he really think Shittu will be fully recovered? Even if he is —will he be better than a veteran Juwan Morgan? No way. Romeo-Juwan would be a potent 1-2 punch and Phinisee and a seasoned Devonté Green will be above average at the point and more than willing to let Romeo score. Davis and and Smith inside will be big and tough and lots of 3 and 4 Star help is on the way and you can count on one of them to surprise. If McRob and Al get a consistent jump shot —watch out. I just can’t think a friendship with Darius will be the deciding factor to pull him away from the home state school—IU—where he could be a legend. He knows it—his high school coaches know it —and his parents know it. When you look at all the factors—if he picks Kansas I won’t like it but I will understand. If he picks Vandy—I will always believe something el$e is motivating the pick because it makes no sense. Sorry—I call it like I see it. Come on Romeo—follow in Damon’s footsteps—complete your legacy—remain a Hoosier in the State that helped make you who you are. I am confident he should and will pick the Hoosiers!

Don't think they can visit during a tourney game. At least I doubt it.

I fully expect to be better than Vanderbilt next year regardless of which school Romeo chooses.

[Ajwhitis 705]

How in the world have we overlooked the most telltale sign that Romeo is going to IU? On senior night, Tim Langford's jacket? RED! HOOSIER NATION HE'S COMIN!

They won't make it, they suck and so does Drewfus.

Yup, because we have a real coach.

[Ajwhitis 705]

Reminder, you have to be .500 to be invited to the NIT
