[Bailey7878 2,506]

So now we are swinging back to Kansas. Get ready for a few more swings before this ordeal is over.

Yeah it seems like heavy Kansas talk now.

I'm not surprised nor am I impressed that Kansas now has just the right amount of schollys available.

The cbb world is (so far) receiving this as a bombshell when it was always a high probability those two players would turn pro. In all the evaluating, visiting, planning, etc the Langfords have done this is likely not an unforseen scenario. I'm guessing it's the one they've already planned for.

Hope it’s not true, but from sound of things Vick likely got smacked  with Uncle Bill’s Creaning stick to make way for R.

Still see him at IU. Only see two advantages of KU. Championship caliber team, and other great players. On the other hand, IU offers the ability to stay close to home. The lure of being an instate legend with an already established personal fanbase. As much PT as he can handle. And most of all, a tough, defensive mined coach that can help with the ONE major flaw in Romeo's game. Experts are saying that defense is his glaring weakness. Still saying he stays home and plays for IU. ROOAAAR!

Nobody knows anything. All the Kansas talk is still guesses.

I’m not changing my pick to Kansas yet. Holding strong on Vandy. Haha.

This! I fully expected Kansas talk to pick up this week simply because their season is over and two guys declared. But, the Kansas talk is actually based on zero real information from the Langford camp. It’s based on nothing but guesses and feeling. 

Not saying Kansas is or isn’t the pick, but any perceived momentum or even crystal ball picks this week aren’t based on any actual information from the people making the decision.

But it is based on actual information, that Newman and Vick went pro.  Some people are acting like nothing changed when in fact something did.

It’s not that far fetched that Romeo was waiting to get a better handle on the playing time situation there.  People are saying the Langfords have already considered the potential for this to happen and I totally agree, but that consideration could have been if Vick and Newman go pro then Kansas is the spot.

I have no idea whether PT at Kansas is/was a concern for him. Maybe it’s doesn’t matter at all, but it also may be of major consequence.  It’s definitely not good.

Pits not from a reporter with sources saying he was told this was something Langford was waiting on, it’s a guess.

Agree here. It’s important to remember that the speculation about Langford pushing his commitment back until after his post season games, had something to do with him waiting to see what would happen at Kansas, was just that....Speculation. It was a theory created on a fan message board by a fan...Probably this board in fact. I would caution against getting over excited by this theory. It’s compelling yes, for that matter so was the “backlash” theory. There is no concrete evidence to support the argument. That said, do I wish there was equal evidence to refute the theory? Yes. But, there isn’t. For now I’m putting it away in the same file as the “Vandy-backlash” argument.

IU has requested that Romeo visit last. There was talk about possible visit to Vandy before he decides.

Has KU requested he visit or have an in home?

Everything is a guess, who is saying otherwise?

But for someone to say “this doesn’t change anything” there’s no way to know that.

Not true-in my opinion nothing has changed: those two guys were always very likely to have been gone from KU at the end of the season.

Things aren’t always a guess. It’s possible to have sourced information. There’s nothing sourced, the KU guys didn’t change his pick because he’s heard that it is influencing Langford, he changed his pick because he’s taking a guess that it might. It’s not based on anything known about the Langford’s decision making process.

Would you guys be cool with us winning a Championship, if you knew we cheated but also knew we wouldnt get in trouble?

 

I would. I have no shame.

 

 

I guess it depends on what you mean by cheating.  A few extra phone calls?  Bumper stickers?  Sure, I'd look the other way.  But strippers and cash payments to players? No way.  I'd rather do things the right way and have no title.

Kansas insider flipped his crystal ball pick from Vandy to Kansas today.

On the bright side, that officially puts IU in the lead (for now)

I don't think we are saying anything that is mutually exclusive.  My point is that it's tough to say with any reasonably certainty that Vick and Newman going pro is a non issue,  because of the point you made...we don't know what factors the Langfords are considering.

It still needed to actually happen even if they thought it was going to.  What if they both stayed? You don't think that could have potentially affected his decision?

The only way "nothing has changed" is true is if he never cared what they did in the first place.  That very well could be the case, but none of us have any way of knowing that.

Absolutely, what we’re saying isn’t much different. Newman and Vick going pro might help Kansas, or it might not. We don’t know. I’m just saying a Kansas writer doesn’t either, and switching his crystal ball is no real indicator of anything.

Curious, you don’t think it is possible that was a conversation between the KU staff and the Langford’s? It very well could have been and these insiders could know that. Just because there wasn’t an article written quoting the Langford’s doesn’t mean nothing has changed and that they are guessing.
