That's been an argument that I've supported throughout this recruitment. If Phinisee is as underrated as it seems, as a four year PG he's far more valuable to our program, in my opinion.

The argument that Romeo automatically helps make Indiana an in-state destination again is faulty in my opinion. Indiana will be a preferred destination again once we can do two things:

1) Compete at a high level over multiple years

2) Demonstrate the ability to develop players (not known NBA talent) into draft prospects

Players like Phinisee will provide the stability and consistency that a OAD cannot.

Romeo is going to pay dividends as well though. Can't wait for him to put on the candy stripes.

Not to mention if a guy like Phinisee shows he can play with the OAD's that will do nothing but help us with other top guys too. Having a PG that can make it work with anyone is a huge Ace up our sleeve.

From a staff writer for the Kansas 247 site:

Ryan Noel

  • Ryan Noel
  • Staff (Mississippi)
  • JayhawkSportsReprot
  • Ryan Noel
  • (47909)
  • 184 months
  •  
  • FWIW, I heard its Indiana.

Although it's hidden under VIP, Ryan Noel made his pick 8 days ago. His title doesn't list Kansas 247 when he picks, but good to know.

It's so nice being on this side of a top recruitment for once. I got so use to just expecting the top guys to go somewhere else. It feels like Christmas is coming in April.

The scrooge is listening. Let's not count chickens until they're hatched lol.

IF Phinisee develops like we all hope he is the ying to the yang to the OAD. You have to have those players to win. He is as valuable as Romeo long term. But let’s also be real. Getting a Romeo makes IU a potential optional destination school for OAD players as well. That’s pretty huge as well. No pressure Archie.
