(2018) SG Romeo Langford - INDIANA HOOSIERS

[Hoosier1984]

You could read this as good news but also that he is wanting to go somewhere else and his parents are saying “Well let’s go check out Indiana on more time to make sure you don’t want to go there” (because his parents want him at IU and close and they are having their fingers crossed he changes his mind since they want to leave it up to him).

Ahhhhh, a little fresh Romeo talk! So nice!

[Bowhunter]

I read it as I like Vandy, but I give my myself, my family, and the IU coaching staff one more chance to change my mind.

So this could go past the McDonald's All America game?  Ugh have mercy.

Is Marni Mooney following him?
 
 
Lol. I had to.

Bryce Drew is following her

I know but if I put him at the 4 with Morgan at the 5 like I truly think will happen, I'm gonna get flack regardless. We have a good problem up front.

I like him at the 3, He can guard the 3, put the ball on the floor and shoot out to 15 feet. He just needs to work on his shot from 3.

I never would've believed it but it doesn't.  That's assuming Rabjohns knows what's talking about.  Has that ever happened before?

Rabjohns has been used as an IU mouthpiece before. IF the Langfords want this to look like an excruciating decision this follows the MO. Legitimizes what would otherwise be a WTF decision to Vandy.

I'm playing devils advocate here....but I still have doubts.

Romeo commits to Kansas or Vandy and waits to sign anything to let the dust settle than decommits when something pops and we start a whole new thread and go through this again all over again. Seems like something that could happen in this recruitment

At least he's giving iU one more shot, and possibly the last word, that's all you can ask for.

Could be, but it would have to be a pretty weak “like” if he’s willing to push back the McDonald’s Game announcement. I’ve always maintained that the McDonalds Game announcement doesn’t mean it’s Vandy or KU, but if it is Vandy or KU the McDonalds Game is the only place that makes sense. 

So that he’s willing to potentially push that date is a big sign IMO.

Could be any of the 3 getting one last visit but it's not....its IU.

Personally, I only agree with information in this thread that agrees with me. Luckily, I don’t pretend to have a clue so I don’t have to come up with crazy @$$ conspiracy theories in both directions daily based upon the information given.

Any chance we could get Eric Gordon or Vic on campus for this? Seems like we’ll need to blow him away and we’ve got him. I got faith in Archie, he knows the importance of this one too.

The Langfords want it to appear that it was SUCH a hard decision.

You don't know that
Maybe be does pick vandy but you dont have any sources. Seems exhausting to me to put on a charade for six months.

Depends on timing and whatnot. But I thought this visit was more for the academic side.

The way I took it was that if Romeo is still considering Vandy and KU at the point of the McD game then Tim would like for him to put his decision off until he has another chance to visit IU. If Romeo already knows he wants to go to IU by then or had his visit then he will announce it there. Seems very clear to me that Tim, at least him, wants Romeo to go to IU and I think that is as big a persuasive individual that there is in this recruitment. Yes I know it's hard to believe he'd be more of an influence than Garland but I believe that it is true. I'm not one for making predictions or getting my hopes up for a kid but I'd say from that aspect it has to be a positive for IU. MOST of the time parents have their children's best interest at heart and I have no reason to believe otherwise in this case as I suspect Romeo believes it to be true as well. 

[woodenshoemanHoosierfan]

That was me paraphrasing a little tiny portion of the article. For me the article as a whole sounded like good news for IU

With that info you shared, the ones who think it's Vandy will read it one way. The others another way. The truth is no one knows.

Sure is a lot of work to go through just to make it appear it"s a difficult decision, although having gone on college visits with my daughter, at one school she flat out told my wife and I that she wouldn't be going to the school before the visit even started, but we still took the tour anyway and she enjoyed it, but it didn't sway her.
