(2018) SG Romeo Langford - INDIANA HOOSIERS

[Stromboli 6,076]

This should be good for another 10 pages of speculation...

 

 

 

Edit:  For the record I don't like this stuff.  Kris Wilkes would post things like this, apparently even after he was a heavy UCLA lean.  Things like "Can I get a shout out from the Hoosiers??" or something like that.  

Second note.  A recent video interview of Romeo after the McDonalds thing, Romeo said very clearly that he views Quentin Grimes as his best friend, and then threw out Darius as an "oh yeah, him too."  I do not think the Darius thing is strong.  I think Kansas is the bigger threat here.  

I hope it's the Hoosiers.  Refuse to invest my achy breaky heart into this, though.

Second Edit:  Here's the video link about his best friends.  We don't know what question was asked, so hard to know context.

One doesn't belong = Nike  = Vandy out

One isn't close to home = Kansas out

We have a winner!!!  Plus, in the picture he is closer to wearing the IU jersey so no brainer!

This will cause quite a bit of speculation, and I think the No. 1 reason is that if Romeo comes to IU, he most certainly will wear No. 34 in homage to Ryan Tapak, who created that famous move we all knew and loved: the Tapak Shakur.

I think vandy is out. It's Kansas or IU.

****. Maybe Quentin is just playing around or he knows something we don’t (or didn’t). 

Meh, probably just messing around. He wouldn't want to be stealing Romeo's spotlight on his decision. If anything, I'd think he's more likely kidding because he doesn't think he's going to Kansas.

Kansas is a big threat. You can never count out bill self in these things. Plus Romeo and grimes seem to be pretty close.

If Romeo doesn’t go to IU I am never trusting any pro IU rumor again.  Fool me once....

Never trust a rumor period.

Quinton and Romeo are really good friends. I posted a video interview from Kristen peek with Grimes early in the process where he talked about playing with Romeo. Most discounted Kansas when they signed Dotson and grimes but Kansas plan always involved all 3.

Anyone who believes that Romeo playing with his close friends is a big deal should consider Quentin Grimes a FAR bigger factor than Darius Garland.

I agree. Not sure why people ever thought Kansas was out of this

If that happens Hoosier Guy may have to go into hiding for about six months.

Why would he. He has no inside info and is just saying romeo is a lock to iu. It means absolutely nothing. He literally said this exact same thing about garland and we seen what happened. I wouldn't read to much into what he says but that is up to you.

I do not read anything into what he says. I am just saying if he is once again wrong with his prediction he will be laughed off of this board.

Apparently, we've gone 9-plus hours between Romeo posts? Is that a record? 

I believe so

Somebody on Twitter (another player) told Kris Wilkes to go ahead and commit to Indiana already. We all saw how that turned out.

I like reading into details but this is Grimes just having some fun. If he really knew he wouldn't out him on a public posting either imo.

Yep.  That was Mo Bamba to Wilkes, and I thought of the same thing.  I agree that this quote from Grimes isn't anything at all.  The only thing significant, to me, is that Romeo is acting like he may be getting closer.  

On Hoosier Guy...  I guess we all have different perceptions.  For Hoosier Guy I can pretty easily see his posts and just see him as an optimistic guy.  His posting style is what it is, and I've mostly enjoyed it.  I think the thing that begins to rub people the wrong way is when one poster gets extraordinarily repetitive.  Otherwise, people seem to be pretty patient.

So we can all step away form the ledge for now?

Shouldn't be on the ledge in the first place.
Romeo or not, Archie wants to win and will do everything in his power to make that happen.

In my mind, we are in a 3 year build mode anyway so I'm not expecting anything too great next year.

Romeo would definitely add to the excitement but I'm not counting on it.
