Those that keep commenting on how late to the game we were etc is no longer valid. It’s been almost a year and has only been talking to 3 coaches for a long time.

People have met, dated, got engaged and married in this time frame. People talk like he just jumped into this with IU/Archie recently when that’s not the case at all

The point about being late to the game is that he hadn't had a chance to see Archie coach up close. I doubt he was following Dayton too closely the last few years. So it wouldn't be out of the realm, especially in a recruitment that has been very measured and precise, that he wanted to follow Indiana and the staff closely this season. At least for me, that's what I mean by late to the game.

That, and relationships matter whether we want to admit it or not. CAM has been in contact with him for less than a year. Getting to know and trust a coach takes a bit of time. Coach Drew has been building his relationship for a much longer period.

I agree. We've had plenty of time now. I'd think the longer you watch drew the more it hurts vandy. I simply don't buy dbm and others claim this has been over since October. Why even bother visiting iu again then? It's a waste of time.

The only one who would bring him to vandy is the AD. Without him drew would not have a prayer

There are only 2 possibilities here IMO.  # 1 he's known all along where he's going and didn't announce either to avoid backlash or else because he wanted to build his brand by using the IU fan base and all the increased exposure it provides.  Or #2 he truly has been undecided.  If that's the case I'm wrong and he's 100 percent going to IU.  Nothing that has come to light the past few months would make anyone favor Vandy.  They are a dumpster fire and are losing the few decent players they have.  Drewfus can't coach.  They have no fans and play in an empty arena.  Sittu tore his ACL and who knows how ready he'll be.

Meanwhile Archie has IU playing some of the best ball in the B1G after maybe only MSU and is looking like a terrific coach.  We have a great core returning in Morgan, Green, Smith, Mcroberts, and Davis as well a very good recruiting class.  Furthermore, Romeo is the perfect fit for IU.  The only thing next year's team is missing is that elite scorer who fill it up.  Romeo provides exactly that.  If he truly has been undecided it's IU all the way and Ill gladly eat crow on this for being so wrong.

Huh. I thought the only possibility was he choose vandy in October and this is a done deal. The AD got to him remember!

It's not a joke. It's what he said and he needs to stand by it.

You’ve stated that anyone saying they know anything is misinformed or lying because the Langfords are playing this as close to the chest as any recruitment out there, yet you know Romeo wants to make a decision by March 10th.

 

These two statements don’t jive.

I literally stated in the next post pretty much that that date is far from set in stone. I just know he plans on knowing his decision and then sitting on it for a week or two, so if he was to do it for McDonalds game, around March 10th would make sense. I wasn't trying to share earth shattering news dude. Not even close in fact most recruits probably know ahead of time before announcing kind of common sense. I was just affirming that in no way has he decided yet as whatever that report was trying to say.

These are your words: "Rabjohns report seems to be true. I don't know exactly what he is saying, but I know Romeo is wanting to have his decision done around March 10th and then giving it a week or two to make sure he feels right about it."

How do you know that? You're now saying you're just making assumptions, but you say things like they're factual. If you can't see why that's confusing/annoying, I'll drop it.

Read the following post. I admitted I was pretty much guessing on the date lol so what is your point? All I shared was his family wants to have a decision and then take some time to make sure of it. I was sharing it because it seemed very pre mature that he was a done deal to Vandy. I did hear he wants to know beforehand just like 90% of recruits do, so I'm confused. 

I don't share anything worthwhile on here anymore for this reason. I don't even do updates on football recruits anymore, which is actually what I cover. Too much drama on here honestly it's annoying and sounds like too many people are too invested in decisions a teenager is going to make. I got arrogant with the Garland news I was given and got too invested  I've admitted that. Either read what I say or don't man, my feelings won't be hurt.

I'd hate to lose any of your information- a lot of us find it entertaining and useful (I say entertaining because sports entertain me, I don't live or die by them)! Keep posting!

I’ve said it multiple times. Frustrating that the actions of one is causing us to lose valuable info you provide! Thank you Yogi, and to those of you that continue to attack him, thanks for ruining the info. Again it’s a free message board. Let the guy share the info he hears and quit having meltdowns

I'm not sure who you're lumping me in with? I've consistently been more on your side of the thought process in terms of this recruitment. 

But with that said, he's gathered almost all of the information. This isn't a Spring announcement like where Bryant was still taking his officials during the season. Langford had completed all of his officials to his three schools, he's also gone on unofficials to IU and Vandy, he's had Kansas and Vandy for in-homes and at games. 

I may have worded my post poorly. My point wasn't that he made the decision in October and has just been sitting on it. I've consistently said that the idea that he's known but held off because of backlash is ridiculous. My point was that I can't imagine why it would take this long with all the info/visits he has and has taken.

He must be leaning to a certain school. What else is there to gather? My point was that the waiting is good for IU because Archie was late to the game, so I'm guessing he held off to give Archie/IU a real shot. 

I don't doubt that he is leaning a certain way, perhaps even strongly leaning. I also don't doubt that he has leaned more than one direction over the course of his recruitment and especially the last few months. What do doubt is that any top tier, guaranteed to have a spot on the team player like Romeo should make the decision official any sooner that absolutely necessary. A lot can change over the course of a few months in college basketball such as the FBI investigation and Preston/Lambo situation as examples. Besides he can't sign his LOI right now anyway and if he does choose IU, I wouldn't be surprised to see Drew put on a full court press until he was actually signed.

Of course drew would. This is his all or nothing recruiting class. He's done after this.

I think you may be assuming way too many people at Vandy actually care.

While I really enjoy the info that yogi brings to the discussion, and thanks yogi, you should keep doing it whether you catch flak for it or not, I agree that if something is misrepresented it should get talked about. Essentially we are all doing the same thing here on this discussion. Finding out whether or not IU has a positive chance to snag a recruit. I think it is perfectly healthy to question the info that is out there. Also dbm brings a different perspective to the process which is also important and with the FBI process that is going on makes me tend to lean towards what waynefleek has been saying. Maybr not with romeo but maybe? Either way, we all need to take a step back and try to enjoy this ride...its almost over

Doing a little spit balling here. Don’t know the financial situation of his family but what  if his whole decision now is based on how long he wants to stay in school.. one and done ,(Vandy\Kansas),or 2 and done,(IU ),if he wants to experience a little bit of the college life. 

I have to think after seeing the 3 schools,he has to have a gut feeling.

They don't but drew is looking to move on to another job. He needs success for that.
