Romeo doesn’t necessarily make Indiana cool again but what it does is show that a top 5 player chose Archie as the coach to take his game to the next level. It shows other top kids they can trust Archie moving forward

Totally agree.
Crean had that going with Zeller but in my opinion never utilized him correctly.We still got Vonleh but he saw the coaching flaws.I still dont know how we got Bryant.Maybe I don't want to.
Ive seen enough of Archie to know already that if he has a stud horse he's going to ride them to the finish line.Kids and coaches will see this just like they saw Crean for what he was.
Just my opinion.

Main reason we got Bryant was the hot water Syracuse got in with the NCAA.

Are there new rumors going around or what ? Nothing on twitter at all about Kansas or Vandy. All IU talk. Not a single tweet about a Kansas visit earlier this week. Who knows

Little blurb from Kansas City Star yesterday.

 

What are KU's odds to land Romeo Langford, Rivals' sixth-ranked player in the 2018 class who is announcing April 30?

Let's say it this way: KU is probably not the favorite, but it's also difficult to ever rule coach Bill Self out in these types of situations.

ESPN's Jeff Borzello wrote about Langford some in an Insider article two days ago, saying KU is making a late push even if Indiana is still considered the leader.

To address the second Twitter question above: No, I don't believe the KU-FBI situation should affect Langford's recruitment. Our Sam Mellinger wrote a good story on the topic earlier this week, and as he mentioned, nothing from the FBI has linked KU's coaching staff or program to having knowledge of the payments made by Adidas' Jim Gatto to KU players.

A weird radio interview from Keelon Lawson this week (that I'm sure he wishes he wouldn't have done) might have raised the attention of people who haven't followed the situation closely, but for Langford, I wouldn't think the latest FBI findings would affect his thoughts on KU.

It that even points to true basis for this type of comment but it's also difficult to ever rule coach Bill Self out in these types of situations.

Well if the Langford family are the type of people we all believe them to be up to this point, they would surely stay away from being involved with any type of bribes Kansas tries to throw their way. They should know darn well that in just a year or two’s time from now, Romeo will be making all the money his family could ever dream of once he’s drafted in the league. Why risk doing dirty business with Kansas for a one year fling? IU is going to propel him to new heights and he’s gonna be making bank when he’s done with the candy stripes.

There has to be a way to trace or identify these payments. We know Josh Jackson got paid to go to Kansas. Wiggins most likely as well. It’s not like Self has some new sales pitch he is keeping in his back pocket.

Highly likely that Billy Preston didn't buy his own Lambo

Exactly. Kansas won't put him on a bigger stage season-long than IU will.

At this point I think it's mostly IU fans (myself included) who are just fully expecting one of the other two schools to start picking up steam and the winds to start changing direction. We've seen it happen all too often: we get close to landing a 5 star recruit, some insiders feel good about our chances, then things start changing and the recruit ends up signing with someone else. The Garland recruitment was a textbook example of this.

 

Remember, I had a dream earlier this week that I was at the announcement and he picked Kansas. So if he picks Kansas, I get to brag about how I can predict recruitments in my sleep.

So as some predicted people are now freaking out and saying he is going to another school. Tomorrow is will be he is going to vandy. Done deal.
