(2018) SG Romeo Langford - INDIANA HOOSIERS

[dallas44~ 209]

An annoying rumor that's started floating around again is that Romeo already has his dorm assignment at Vandy. Can someone smarter than me disprove this?

Where u here this?

Garland is not overhyped. People are overestimating what two stud freshman can do on a team of literal mannequins. Vandy has a horrid team with a questionable coach. DG and Shittu are going to see double teams and intense defense all year next year, and there won't be much help their team can provide.

I disagree. I think the precedent has been set with needing a more talented overall roster. 2 McD’s all Americans riddled in with a freshman 4* and virtually nothing else is not going to move the needle to the degree that their fan base is expecting it to be.  As good as Garland and Shittu are, they aren’t once in a generation talents like Carmelo Anthony, Anthony Davis, or Chris Paul. They will need to learn how to win at the college level. They’ll need talented upperclassman and 1 heck of a coach, which Drew is clearly not. Some of the games greatest coaches have lost being top heavy with talent and barren on the back end and bench.  Heck they can add Romeo and EJ Montgomery and they are 2nd best in their conference, at best, imho. 

 

I dont mean this to be argumentative. Just don’t see Vandy being able to make much noise with just those two guys. 

Oh and I definitely agree that Garland is NOT overhyped. Dude is a stud and the best PG in the class in my eyes. Him not choosing IU doesn’t change that one bit for me.

I would also say that rumor is bs. I didn't get my room assignment until like the end of may or early june last year. It could be different for athletes but i doubt it especially if he hasn't signed his LOI yet

[BGleas 7,903]

My guess is someone posted on a forum somewhere “I bet if Langford comes to Vandy he’ll room with Garland.” 

Then on another forum: I read on another forum that Langford and Garland already decided they’re rooming together. 

Then back on the original forum quoting the first post: I can confirm this. I read on another forum they’ve already decided to room together.

Finally on a 3rd forum: I have it from a good source that Langford already has his room assignment and is coming to Vandy.

Rabajohns has it IU, Kansas and Vandy a distant 3rd.
Reported a phone conversation between RL and Justin Smith saying it's IU. He's pretty good at this but anything can happen

Where'd you see this?

[tortex28 379]

A dude on another site who is originally from New Albany reported it. I don't know if he's legit or not

Based on the copacetic nature of 99% of your post, and the general argument being exactly what I was trying to convey, I think you either misread my post or meant to say “I agree” or my original post is very poorly written.

Either way, I agree :)

Thanks for broadening my vocabulary today. The definition of copacetic was a lot different than what I thought it might of meant when I read it.

This is not on Peegs. Where are you getting this? Rabjohns definitely did not say that.

[Bailey7878 2,506]

He's going to Vandy but I'd bet that rumor is complete BS.  Probably started by Drew or Garland.

Well at least your consistent. Good thing he avoided all the iu backlash all year just to announce for vandy in New Albany. You would think the McDonalds game would of been the best spot for a vandy verbal. I guess hed rather make it in front on iu fans instead. Ok.

For one rabjohns has a terrible track record. Secondly I doubt Smith is leaking private phone conversations. Nobody knows anything.

Some of this **** is literally LOL.   Especially the Vandy dorm business.   Makes me wonder how old some folks are around here.   This is middle school ****.

 

And you're off-base with "no one knows anything."   Maybe the majority of people on these boards don't.   However,  rest assured,  there are small but significant bits of information out there acquired directly from those in the know that are and continue to be overwhelmingly positive for IU.

 

Everybody just chill, enjoy the weekend, watch some good hoops and know that better things are ahead.

Finally,   I've never "ignored" a poster until this a.m.   Same old gloom and doom, song and dance is intolerable to me.

It’s funny how someone on this board warned about rumors for Vandy and Kansas coming this week due to the McD’s game and being around all of those commits and yet over half of you are freaking out about it. Do some of you actually read the comments on here or just what fits your agenda or freak out of the day?
