Todd Sturgeon might be the best coach in the state. Floyd Central was a dumpster fire before he showed up.

Yeah where'd he come from ;)

Rumors are going around. Pro IU as well. 

Is this in response to something specific or is there more to this statement?

In regards to a potential visit?  That's what I'm curious about.

I far prefer non-specific, unsourced good news to non-specific, unsourced bad news.

I don't feel comfortable saying exactly what they are, because if wrong then, I don't feel like dealing with the backlash honestly lol. Also I'm not sold on the sources yet but I've been asking around to clarify so take it with a grain of salt.

Both are worthless, except they do add to the post count. And we are ultimately trying to break a record here, right?

 

I will say I've been toying around with roster makeup/lineups if we are lucky enough to get Romeo. It's fun.

 

Excited to see who comes and who goes overall.

EXACTLY. I don't have a story of his brother's cousin's cousin which is really Romeo's cousin cause it's his brothers cousin so that'd make him his cousin said this or that. Just that right now things look good. Could all change tomorrow, but I really like what I've been told. It just comes from a source I don't normally deal with. They are credible though, but you never know. 

[WayneFleekHoosier 48,846]

We should run a lineup like my DriveTheLane squad and go:

Romeo, Hunter, Smith, Race, Morgan.

Just run a bunch of 6'6"-6'9" guys and see what happens. Lol.

Ugh this recruitment needs to quit toying with me.

Just imagining our roster with additions of Romeo, Sanford (possibly), and a grad transfer big is already getting me excited for next year.

IF we could land 2/3 that would be huge. Don't get me wrong I love our incoming Freshmen but they aren't the type to have a major impact right away. Romeo, Sanford, Grad Transfer big, and Morgan would be your top 4 players. The freshmen could provide depth (hopefully better than the 2012 class in 2013). Again it's a big IF. By the time our incoming freshmen are juniors they (Hunter, Phinisee, Anderson, Forrester, Thompson) could be very very good.

Chat was interesting. Peegs said there has been little to no Vandy chatter. A lot of professionals think we are in good postition for Romeo. Overall it's looking good, but as always things can change.

I’m not trying to be a jerk, but if that’s how you feel then don’t even mention anything in the first place. It looks like you’re wanting attention when you do that like when 3rd graders do the old “I know something you don’t know, and I’m not telling”

 

Edit: best advice use the Pap method when it comes to info.

Athletic/quick lineup to counter a big/slow team..

Phinisee
Romeo
Hunter
Smith
Morgan

We really need Davis, Moore, and Forester to provide something in the post. I love Morgan but I don't think he can be THE Big on a tourney team for an entire season. If we land Romeo and can have some type of post presence forcing teams to double Romeo could snipe all game long.

As I said and it was my gut it was down to Kansas and iu. I think vandy needed the verbal in November before romeo was able to watch the coaches. I could be wrong but I think anchors down is in trouble here.

I doubt moore comes back but we need davis for sure and a grad transfer guard .

If we get Romeo I really don't think we need a guard. Not sure we are going to get one better than Green. So between Romeo, Green and Phinisee that's most of the guard minutes. 

Mcroberts and Hunter at the 3

With Morgan, Race, Smith and Davis being the front court. 

That leaves Al, Jake and damezi to come off the bench but mostly just continue to develop

Moore being a wildcard

I about lost if this weekend when talking to someone about Romeo. 

So we were talking about Romeo waiting for his game to come on. We were sitting there drinking a beer talking about basketball when the patented "where do you think he goes" convo started. Here is where the fun begins. A gentlemen who is sitting next to me in a Cincinnati bearcats sweater and wearing an Ohio State hat looks at me and says that HE HIMSELF, has talked to Romeo's parents directly and his parents told HIM directly, that it was their son's decision and that is when Romeo's father looked HIM directly in the eye and said his son is going to Vanderbilt. I proceed to say some choice words but basically said "i dont believe you at all"...i then said okay, what is romeo's fathers name. He said he couldn't remember. I then asked what gym it was at, couldn't remember that. He then got pushy and said well let me ask you a question, i said go for it. He asked "answer me this, why in THE H*** (raised his voice) would Romeo go to IU, what do they have to offer and why would he even think about them"

I proceed to chug what was left of my beer to hold back the words i really wanted to say. Decided that he wasnt even worth my breath and just had to walk away. 

Basically to round this up, can we please just have this over and his announcement here before we normal sane people are pushed to the brink haha. 

holy mole you need to post more haha that was awesome!  instant classic.

Not that I put much stock in the crystal ball predictions, because honestly I dont, but it'll be interesting if as we get near to Romeo's announcement date if some of the CB picks change.
