(2018) SG Romeo Langford - INDIANA HOOSIERS

[JustWinWoody 3,392]

For all of you Dakich lovers out there ... 

 

[IUrocker 2,435]

Saw a pretty good comment on my Facebook newsfeed from a Purdue fan. “Congrats IU, your almost as good as Purdue now.”  (And yes, he said “your”, that’s wasn’t me, lol)...but yeah, I don’t know why I can’t just laugh that stuff off knowing they’re full of it. We’ll be almost as good as them now, hmmm....Most Purdue fans just really get under my skin.

would you say he is off his rocker?

Haha, you bet I would!

As an educator, this was the reason I wanted Romeo at IU. Look at this picture... in the most important moment of his 18 year old life, he takes time out of it to recognize a young fan (with his custom made jersey on it) to smile and give him a high five and a hand shake. It wasn't like the kid was on stage either... Romeo walked 10ft or so to get to the kid. Awesome. His character is his best attribute. Mr. Langford, enjoy your time in Bloomington.. you already have a huge fan in me.

Honestly I didn't see anything wrong with Skip's tweet. It's very far down on the list of dumb things he's said. 

My issue with it is that it's completely false.

Indiana with Romeo is better than Vanderbilt with Romeo.  And very few people are talking about us contending for a national championship.

Obviously my statement is somewhat of an opinion, but I think it will become abundantly clear over the course of next year.

Yet another sportswriter weighing in:

https://www.cbssports.com/college-basketball/news/indiana-lands-romeo-langford-as-archie-miller-keeps-another-hoosier-state-hero-at-home/

 

In the previous five classes -- i.e., 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016 and 2017 -- there were 23 players from the state of Indiana who were either four-star or five-star prospects, according to 247 Sports. Trey Lyles was one. Caleb Swanigan was another. Jaren Jackson was another. And there were 20 more. But only one -- James Blackmon in the Class of 2014 -- signed with Indiana. Only one. Out of 23. Which is difficult to comprehend. But there are four players from the state of Indiana in the Class of 2018 whom 247 Sports lists as either four-star or five-star prospects -- none bigger than Langford. And Indiana secured commitments from three of the four, including Langford, much to the delight of those who wear candy-striped pants proudly and fill Assembly Hall annually.

The Kansas board is royally pissed off at Tim Langford for saying he didn't want Romeo anywhere near the FBI investigation. I thought about posting that cheating has consequences, but after ruffling some of their feathers Monday evening, I decided to leave them alone.

If they can't understand why a father wouldn't want that for their son, not sure what to tell them?

This guy is going to be great. Romeo is the perfect ambassador for the new era of IU basketball. The cornerstone recruit to help bring them back to the elite. And can’t say enough about Archie Miller. He’s going to be here a long time

They were the victims after all

They think the Langfords are helicopter parents and he's going to IU against his own will.

 

Lot of insecure fans over there lately. Before Langford's announcement the other day, someone remarked they had no chance of getting him because they were up against the brother of Scott Drew and the brother of Sean Miller, and that was as sleazy as it gets. I commented that was hilarious coming from a program that has players with eligibility concerns seemingly every season. No one responded to my post, but I did get 4 down votes.

only 4 down votes, that's pretty weak. they must not have much fight in them.

One thing about RL committing to IU was it put to rest the idiotic theory that he didn't announce before or during the season so he didn't have to hear boos from fans.

I'm not a fan either but he didn't do a horrible job on this one. Only 1 cringeworthy question.
