If indeed we do land Romeo, somebody's not going to see the playing time they were expecting and I could envision losing a player as a result.  

Meh. Romeo doesn't get PT automatically if/when he comes to IU; it will be because he's great and helps the team. If that hurts the ego of another player, they need to toughen up. Then again, we could go with the CTC playing time logic, which I have yet to figure out.  I'll leave that one alone...ha!

I just said this EXACT thing on twitter lol. 

Archie has a plan for every scenario. Porter is still a slight possibility as well. Once the Romeo situation is over we will find out fairly quickly about what we're going to look like next season. I'd say at the latest by mid June. Trust me there will be more transfers around the country & maybe even us.

Porter?

In addition to the other comments, perhaps 'master recruiter' Garland is no longer friends with Romeo because he isn't going to VU.

Sitting next to a guy in a team photo is "hanging out with him?" Heck I was in a photo with Bob Knight once - I am changing that story to I was hanging out with the general.

I mean it’s been said a million times that Grimes is his closet friend in the basketball world, it’s not shocking to see him next to him or hanging out with him.

I don’t really see how Langford would impact anyone on the current roster? Our returning lineup literally has nobody at his position.

Somebody was going to have to play it though. Green or Al probably with Phinisee starting

I know I've said this before, but the impact of Romeo choosing IU is going to be noticeably felt by full seats at Assembly Hall this year.

Hoosier Hysteria, Tuesday night non-conference games against Eastern Illinois, and all through the B1G season, I'll bet we don't have too many games with half-full rafters and mostly-empty student sections this coming season.

Can't wait.

Sure, but it’s not like there’s some established, or even typical, two-guard on the roster that will be relegated to the bench. There’s no RoJo or someone like JBJ that has to be worried about moving from the starting 2-guard spot to a 6th man role. 

If someone like Green or Al transfer it’s not because of Langford.

Oh agreed. I'm really hoping in fact that Green is ready to start at PG. And Al can support off the bench.

Me too. Would really love for Green to make a leap next season as a pg.

Should be easy with Romeo and Juwan drawing so much attention

Al can be a pretty perfect first guard in at either position because he defends and limits turnovers.

I'd be willing to bet even the balconies are full for exhibition games. Romeo is a special player and fans will wanna see him as much as possible while he is still in an Indiana jersey. The impact he will have on our program is going to be indescribable.

I think Phinisee is going to be the starter from Day 1. If anyone transfers it may be Greene...he seems to have an ego more than anyone. Hope I'm wrong and he can buy into Archie's plan and play a key role next year possibly as a reserve.

Totally agree. And both Romeo and Devonte offer scoring. So one of them in at a time plus Al is a balanced back court.

Imo we'll see some of Romeo, Green, and RP or Romeo, Durham, and Green or RP, Durham, and Romeo. 

Call it a 3 guard lineup if you want.. Romeo is 6'5-6'6 so it's not like he'll be undersized to play some college 3. But we will see some of those lineups, especially if the other team is undersized (ILL) for example.. and against their pressure.
