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 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.

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 25,172]

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.

 Poor Al ,the guy nobody wants to recognize potential wise or even for what he's already shown for that matter.

Yes hes not the greatest shooter in the world but there's so much more to the game.

When he's All Big defensive team as a junior it'll be a love fest.

Same here. Most of my co-workers are all Purdue, Michigan, or Ohio State fans and dog on IU as often as they can, but when I told them we hired Archie and what he’s been able to do up to this point, they’ve been shaking in their boots..

Easy boys. We've yet to sign a 5 star. Let's just enjoy the process 1st.

Pardon my ignorance, but what does this mean? ... Are you saying Archie hasn't signed a 5-star? ... We've signed 5-stars in the past -- were't Gordon, Zeller and Vonleh all 5-stars? ... Or are you just saying we've yet to sign THIS particular 5-star?

You’re always all over the place. First you say Vanderbilt. Then you say Kansas. And now you say IU. Are you gonna stick with IU or go with the G league next?

There's still a lot of time between now and April 30th and no prediction means anything until an LOI is signed.

If Romeo is a no go, I'm gonna take a long, long hiatus from here and won't be landing anywhere else.  So i'm super hopeful it's truly Romeo to IU.

It’s just a waiting game now. It’ll be fine
