Oops, sorry, I just quoted you.

See I said don't quote me and I was wrong it 4,102!

Call me crazy but Romeo would be a very brave kid to pack a gym with 4100 rabid IU fans and announce for Vandy in front of them. I just do not see that happening.

The hack Rakestraw said on JMV: “ I’ve always said he’s going to Vandy, but I always followed that up with ‘I hope I’m wrong’”

I can think of several 1070 appearances where that wasn’t the case. Anyways, carry on...

Is that a recent quote? Before all the pro iu noise? Or was this today? I’ve always thought vandy was out.

It's his way of saying "I was wrong, but I wasn't really wrong."

 

I still fully expect to start hearing Vandy and/or Kansas noise in the next two weeks. There's just too much time before the announcement not to.

[mdn82 25,746]

It hasn’t happened yet, and there is no indication anything has changed. Meyer said his sources told him Romeo has made up his mind.

Agreed. No denials or conflicting stories have come out.

With nothing whatsoever coming from the Langford family to throw water on the latest rumor fires almost makes me think the signed LOI is already safely locked in a hermetically sealed mayonnaise jar and buried in an underground bunker with round the clock armed guards!

He said it earlier today on JMV

I don't necessarily have anything against the guy, but I have always had a hard time listening to him for whatever reason.

This doesn't help.

Yep. I think the winning staff has already been notified. Has he signed, dunno. It wouldn’t surprise me if it’s already official but not made public. 

[cthomas 6,534]

The job this staff has done with Langford, and this class in general, just amazes me. That and the kids he is after for 2019 makes me believe something very special is being built right before our eyes. I love the focus and going after specific needs. Coach Miller knows exactly what he is doing and why. From someone who has followed IU basketball for over sixty years, this feels really good.

I was wondering the same thing. I would have to think that it will be live streamed on some local sites. I bet ESPNU will carry it. 

It will be live streamed on indystar.com per this article:

The Langfords have to be aware of the chatter. The fact that they haven’t pushed back is telling.

Because there’s no point. He’s clearly going to IU

Yep he's not announcing for vandy in front of 4100 iu fans

Can people just stop with Rakestraw. He's a great guy and I know him a bit personally. Just because he has been told something that may be incorrect does not mean he is being a contrarian or hates IU. Guy is a class act who is reporting what he has been told.

Dakich is a complete hack (and I know this as well from a family friend who knows him) and should be criticized but people need to leave Raekstraw alone just because he is reporting and been told something different than what is currently out there. Also the fact that he's telling you he hopes he's wrong obviously means he hopes he goes to IU even though he was told differently.

I hope you all realize if were not for Raekstraw 1070 (outside of Dakich) would be almost all Colts and Pacers and no college talk. He is the one that has pushed Grady and JMV to talk more IU, PU and Butler (and as station manger he has that power) and is a huge college fan and very knowledgeable about all things college including IU. Love listening him.

I guess you don't like him well enough to spell his name right, but I digress...

It's my and other people's opinion of him. There's really nothing more to it than that.

Sorry my hand slipped on the keyboard and didn't see I had misspelled it.

Look the guy is far from a close friend. I met him and talked to him a couple times through some mutual work we did and his passion and knowledge of college basketball is second to none. After we met I was told to email him about something and he responded within less than an hour which was very responsible. 

He is not an IU hater at all and roots for all state teams. He is reporting what he was told and doesn't deserved to be belittled and called names for that. It's embarrassing to us as a fan base to do so.

If people have other reasons for not liking him I completely understand and in that case I apologize but to think lowly of him solely because he is reporting what he was told about Langford is pretty petty.

Its a message board, and he chose a career in the public light. Right or wrong its going to happen for as long as he's in his career field.

Fair enough and you are probably right. It just seems silly to jump on him for solely reporting what he has been told especially given how much coverage he has ensured IU has received on 1070 over the years as the station manager. He's even mentioned soccer and baseball runs during postseason last few years during his segment which I can guarantee you never would of made the air without him.
