Calbert was here for four years and had a great run. You can't top him imo.

I love CC, but it's Quinn Buckner who can't be topped for me. He and his teammafez5are the reason. I became an IU fan over Illinois when I was 8 in 73/74 season and when he graduated when I was 10. Been an IU fan since

I'll keep it short, so as not to derail the thread, even tho we have 2 weeks til the announcement lol.

Principal and a couple board members were trying to dictate exact roster size and make up, and making their displeasure known for the playing time of certain players. One board member accused him on facebook of being a racist. Superintendent was spineless and wouldn't back the coach, the AD was even worse. Coach said screw it. There's a pending lawsuit the coach filed against the school corporation. Bad situation all around, kudos to the kids for having the success they did  this year with that as a backdrop.

Back on topic, sure hope Romeo picks IU

Go Hoosiers

Hey thanks for the details.  Much appreciated.  So, classic hostile work environment.  Too bad.  That is a no-no.  I hope the coach gets paid for the troubles they caused him even tho money can't replace the glory year he earned that they took from him.  Sad.

Can you imagine Romeo telling everyone “this is my state” after winning a game for us.

Splitting the players/Crean stuff out into its own thread.

Should be an interesting couple weeks in here lol

So I made the mistake of visiting a Kansas board,  and on top of them having an "insider" telling them their source is saying Romeo is picking Kansas, they also don't think too highly of IU, and what kind of team IU could be with Langford next season to the point of being dismissive of IU legitimately having a shot at Romeo.  The few KU posters who think he may choose IU think it's only due to pressure to be the hometown hero, and not that Romeo would actually want to play for IU otherwise. 

It's when I see things like that that I really hope Romeo Langford chooses to don the candy stripes on April 30th.

I read some of the Kansas boards the other day as well. SMH talk about a self-righteous bunch of a-holes! They have no respect for any team other than themselves, and there is no hiding it at all! Rational conversations were interrupted with ridicule and claims of being a "homer" for the other schools mentioned. Dollar Bill is apparently the right hand of God and can do no wrong, and IU is a washed up, has-been-never-gonna-be-again blue blood. That's what I gathered from just about 15 min of reading.

IU hasn't won a title in 30 plus years and we STILL have more banners than them. UK, UNC and Duke have all passed or tied IU but not them. Don't get me wrong they are a great program but for all the hype they should have more titles. Although they have won a ton of Big 12 titles in a row, that conference is equivalent to the AFC East.

There are a bunch of homers on a Kansas board?  :) :O

Look, all of us want Romeo.  He's a definitely a game changer, perhaps a program changer.  We'll all be looking at things from our own perspective probably reading way into things that are coming third, fourth and fifth hand.  It doesn't matter what fans are saying.  No one really knows.  Of course people from Kansas are going to be dismissive of us.  Truth be told, they're kind of got us on that one.  Romeo wouldn't be coming to Indiana because of what we've done in the recent past, it'll be because he'll want to be a part of remaking our future.  If he picks Kansas, he'll be another in a long line of guys who've had recent success there.  I was 10 the last time we won the NC.  I'm 41 now.   

Apr 30th it's all over and we can all move on.  Either way, us Indiana fans will move forward (not backward).  I have confidence that Archie is building the program in the right direction.  Romeo will certainly speed things up, though!  But we'll move forward either way.

Any good tidbits last night or today? Everything seems to have went stale.

This is a business decision per Tim Langford. Romeo’s brand in the state of Indiana is at an all time high. He’s creating a story as the next great Hoosier to grace basketball locally and it will only continue to spread nationally. His name will be bandied about with other Hoosier greats leading up to the commitment. If he goes to Indiana, the story is cemented and becomes the focus of the entire season, and his brand sky rockets. If he goes to Vandy, he starts a completely new story, and his current brand is completely lost. He has the chance to make a new college Big 3 brand as part of one of the best recruiting classes ever, but it’s a complete reset. If I’m running a business, I stick with the brand that has a massive following and has all of the momentum. Romeo to Indiana.

Slow day at work. I want credit in the Btown Crystalball for a February 4th pick!

I wouldn't imagine we'll hear much between now and then. Maybe in the couple days leading up to it. We've already seen phrases like 'done deal' and most notable CB picks have flipped to us so don't know what else there is to hear/see. Just need to see what happens!

**** ‘em. Let them whine and moan. What they think and say doesn’t matter.

Gradman, I don’t agree with you often but I do here. **** them!

My favorite thing is when schools that have never won bring up the 30 yrs thing. Never winning one is a lot longer than 30 years.

Anyone care to inform me if anything has changed or happened over the past couple of days?

Best guess is Indiana (but if I'm wrong blame @jeffborzello)...

I would have guessed somewhere else a week ago by the way

Add an ESPN scout to one jumping on the romeo to IU
