(2018) SG Romeo Langford - INDIANA HOOSIERS

[8bucks 6,383]

He's hanging out with crimes the recruit from Kansas again. Second picture I've seen Langford with him. I hope we're all not being fooled

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.

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.  

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.

Agreed and I still can't believe we are getting him. Massive get.

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.

Good point. I would assume Romeo will spend plenty of time on the ball, so defense, limiting TOs, and shooting will be paramount qualities in your PG. Nobody in the mix has shown all three consistently at the college level, so it may take some time to establish a hierarchy.

Agree.. but... Romeo is very good off the ball too. Green or RP in a pick and roll with Romeo on the opp wing/corner to kick too. I agree with everything you said.

I never doubted Archie

[Brass Cannon 24,368]

I really doubt Phinisee starts. No knock on him but McRoberts intangibles and defense are great for a winning team. If anybody knocks him out of the starting lineup I'd expect it to be Smith.
