I loved how during this whole process, Romeo was able to keep a stone cold poker face over the whole thing, and then after he put the IU hat on, he couldn’t keep the smile off his face. 

I noticed that too.  It had to be a huge weight off his shoulders to finally get the decision out.

That comment screams salty and jealousy. I love it.

No doubt.  What I've found amusing is how over the past year or so the theme on PU boards is how they've been dominant while we've been noncompetitive.  While, with the previous 3 coaches we had haven't been consistently good, you could argue that we've actually fared similarly to PU.  Since 2000 they've been to 5 s16's to our 4.  They made it to the e8 once and we made it to the championship game once.  Both teams have 3 BT titles (each with only 2 in the last 10 years).  IMO, that's remarkably similar and yet it's something for them to crow about.  Now we clearly have our the best coach since Knight, are beginning to finally bring in top in-state players and still appeal to other highly rated players while PU continues to attract second shelf and below prospects.

We can see it with the players that have already committed and high interest from several high level kids - we're primed to become perennial contenders while PU will continue to occasionally have a nice season now and then.  Basically our floor is level with their ceiling and Archie has begun to move us up.

I bet Bryce Drew paid him to tweet that...

That guy will say ANYTHING to get some attention!

They have little-brother syndrome. Lol

Race was a +17.7 for the 2017 class according to 247.

It's lame. If you throw Race in, everyone else's value drops.

Count your blessings this kid went elsewhere. He is Trey Young 2.0.

I’m super excited Romeo is coming up IU. If anything it shows that Archie and staff really know what the are doing. What a great day to be a Hoosier.

I didn't even drink yesterday and I still feel hungover from all the adrenaline

Not exactly accurate. It reduces the impact that each individual recruit has on the overall rating of the class.

Can't do it since Race isn't part of their 2018 rankings, but I think it would possibly give us a top 3 class. Not as simple as taking the 17.7 you saw and adding it though.

Thanks for the info

No problem. If you just look at the average recruit ranking, you can get a good idea as well. Or just the break down of 5 and 4 starts in a class. Duke has four 5 stars and UK has three 5 stars and one 4 star - so they seem to be clearly "better" classes in the rankings even if we add another 4 start to our mix.

When I was the announcement yesterday I was sitting in the same area as the Vandy fan who was booed. I thought it was funny because he said that's ok our recruiting class is still ranked higher. Well not any more. Theirs is 12 or 11th now without Romeo.  Lol ours is 7th. These people are delusional.

I think one of the most impressive things about Archie's first class is that he was able to fill so many scholarships while still maintaining class balance. Assuming we land the grad big, that's 7 spots he's filled in less than a year. 1 four star reclass, 4 other four stars, a McDonalds All American, and a grad transfer. Give Crean 7 open scholarships and he'd be all over the place. We'd end up with at least 1 or 2 "projects". This is a sign of good things to come.

Not to mention the fact that even without Romeo he already had a solid class coming in. It was nice not having a class being good or not depending on one guy, but boy did Romeo sure take it from good to great.
