It really is as simple as that. All this Kansas talk was bound to happen and no one is gonna come out and shoot anything down because they want the hype and excitement to build up leading people to really wonder what he’s gonna do. If his mind is made up and he knows he’s going to IU, there’s really no reason for Romeo or his family to come out and deny any anti-IU rumor. They let people talk and make the announcement when it’s time.  As long as he knows hes coming to IU they will just let the hype and suspense build up.

I've been on Romeo as long as anyone on this board. Just intuition on my part. So, let me say it again...Romeo to IU! He wants his family to be able to attend his games. Kansas a no go. Vandy closer but the other SEC teams not so much. HE IS OURS...ROOAAAR!

I can't imagine for 1 second that anyone in this scenario would have the audacity to set up a public announcement and then shun 99% of the people there. If he's not going to IU, it would only make sense for a private, intimate group of friends and family.

Kansas "insiders" are misinformed. Self tried getting in another visit from what I heard, but Tim told him no per Romeo's request that is well known now. Apparently someone in the Langford camp said that Tim was telling Romeo if he wasn't sure he needed to talk to with ALL 3 not just one so he didn't jump to conclusions off one visit. So if all 3 visited without ANYONE knowing then that is impressive. Not saying Self didn't but it isn't likely and if he did then so did Archie & Bryce. Maybe they facetimed or something who knows haha.

Calm down people it's not even a big deal anymore. BTW 8 days, 18 hours, 51 minutes & 32 seconds away from finding out where Romeo will go lol. 

[rcbowla 7,356]

I personally think that one of the biggest indicators that it is IU was the silence after Jerry Meyer indicated that it's a "done deal". I'm assuming Romeo and family heard/read what the head recruiting analyst at the nation's largest recruiting site said. And yet we heard nothing after. If it were not true wouldn't he or Tim have came out and denied that claim?

Idk why people took it as a bad thing regardless. All a visit at this point would have done was reassure Romeo no FBI findings and that his decision was the right one, so his mind was already made up on Kansas and all it did was make it solid. It would mean a lot more negative things for Kansas IMHO. Romeo telling Self they were out and he made one last attempt, the Langford's were seriously worried about the FBI thing which isn't going to just go away so what could Self really say? I just find it funny a month ago we were 100% getting the last visit but people still assumed it wasn't us, but since it's Kansas it means it would be over and it's them? I know this recruitment has been long and stressful, but I just think Romeo has his mind up by now and nothing will change it unless something drastic happens. It's late April, every school knows what their roster is going to look like or a great idea of it. Vandy taking Moyer kind of gave me a sign that they know they're out unless I'm not counting someone towards their scholly situation.

Well, why would they though, when Meyer had his pick for Vanderbilt they didn't say anything either.

Vandy still has one scholarship left.

Completely different scenarios. When he had Vandy it was a guess at the time, when he picked IU he also followed up with his sources were saying it’s a done deal.

I hear ya but there also wasn't a definitive claim that went along with that pick as I recall. When someone had started the rumor that Garland had committed to IU he went on twitter and denied that claim. I realize it's not an exact comparison but it is similar.

He never used words like 'done deal' with Vandy.  And that pick was months before any announcement was going to come.

I'm still in the boat that I'll believe we get him when he says it himself.

As for the supposed KU visit, I have a hard time believing an 'insider' that uses the qualification that it depends on their definition of meeting.

Well, I ventured over to the KU board late last night, and the poster who claims Self did meet with Romeo this week said he'd reveal information from the "meeting" later, so I'm assuming that would be today since they originally said it''d be this weekend.  Anyway if it happens, or not, it's probably bunk, but will likely stir things up a bit, in the words of the KU poster things are getting interesting with Romeo.

[RatpigHoosier 1,022]

Who’s to say that KU doesn’t rent 80 Greyhound buses and shops 4000 fans here from Lawrence? They arrive in NA on 4/28, get in line and beat IU fans into the gym, this filling the gym with 4000 KU fans. Romeo would be forced to pick KU then, right?

How some anonymous poster on a Kansas message board would be able to know details that no one else, particularly those very close to the Langford camp, are aware of makes makes no logical sense.  There's the old saying about where there's smoke there's fire, and this 'Tonto' guy seems more like a dusty fart than smoke.

We'll know the decision only when it's announced (obviously), but all along I've felt that if there are any leaks they would either come directly from a staff or a player (none that I'm aware of to this point) or from those in the community (if anything they've been overwhelmingly toward IU).

Tim Langford seems like too much of a stand up guy to lie about something like that and he straight up said no coach’s have met with Romeo and are going to meet with him. He has seen and heard everything .
