I've been saying this and totally agree, albeit I haven't been around on recruiting for 20 years. Romeo's recruitment is why I can't post lol. Biggest recruit since EGJ and I don't have a legit read on it...

I will say, some promising developments over the weekend...I just trust no one in this bc I don't have a source directly connected to the family and that is where the REAL news is. Re-read what Bossi said, that's nuts. 

Pardon my ignorance, but who's EGJ? ... Sorry, with everybody using initials all the time, I can't keep up.

Oddly enough, I thought it might be him. But the fact that his middle name is Ambrose threw me. ... However, I would argue that CAZ was a bigger recruit than EGJ -- both literally and figuratively. That's just my opinion, though.

I think it's very interesting that current IU players have shown up to watch him play several times and that Robert P was at his game with Archie.  If nothing else, it shows how wanted he is at IU and reinforces a team/family approach.  Heck, when a player (Freddie M.) shows up to watch and he won't even be playing with you, that's got to feel very welcoming.  What, or how much it means is unknown, but the IU staff and players have gone all out to show Romeo he's wanted in B-town.

I agree but I meant that he would find a way to reaffirm the fact that IU is the best choice for Romeo.

It'll be interesting to know what they focus on. He already knows he would be absolutely loved by the state for playing at IU. Archie and staff have already showed him how he would be used in their system. They had to have covered academics on his official.

Maybe he wants to get a better feel for what he could study for a year. Maybe to explain different options for him to finish his degree. There could be any number of things. Hopefully it deals the deal... whatever it is

People said that in reference to Garland too.. Wouldn't completely write it off.

Yeah they are starting to get a little nervous and a little less cocky. Their insiders I have noticed aren’t as boisterous as they were in November/December. They have a few freak out threads talking about how he isn’t committing during the burger boy game and now in New Albany. Kind of funny. They sort of sound like us in that situation.

I think one of the areas Romeo can really improve on is defense. Archie got a team that was terrible last year in defense to respectabile this year and ended up 60ish AdjD according to Kenpom. Vanderbilt ended up outside the 200s in adjD for comparison. Come here, add to your game, and become a better player. Tim Langford seems like the type that won’t leave any stone unturned. We will see.

Totally agree that was terrible. Those two guys didn't want to be answering those questions. I felt uncomfortable for both of them

What a waste of a good opportunity.

I keep going back to the fact that Vanderbilt and Kansas are on the FBI list.  With the perceived humble and grounded approach from Romeo & Company, why would you change it by committing to one of those schools?  So Drew is cunning; I get it.  So cunning that he'll likely end up without a job or on a lengthy suspension. Same with crystal clean Bill Self (cough, cough, Billy Preston, cough, cough).

He sure smiles a lot about Drew. Even talked about how smart he was. Yuk! 

Maybe it's his way of not laughing because he knows he isn't the best coach.
