(2018) SG Romeo Langford - INDIANA HOOSIERS

[yogisballin]

I thought it looked like he had a long wingspan in some of the videos I’ve watched. Didn’t realize it was a 6’10.5” wingspan. Love that!

Floyd Central and New Albany had a "Unified" Track meet for their special needs kids. Romeo came to support them and took a pic with them wearing an IU shirt.

I'm sorry but where exactly is this coming from?

Too much wondering whether the Romeo signing was really true ...by a few too many.

We should be standing in the middle of Lexington, Chapel Hill, Raleigh, Westwood, Lawrence, and East Lansing to let them know they’re about to get beat.
West Laffy? Pleeeze; beneath us.

One person asked if anyone knew why he hasn't signed it. 

Honestly the over the top part was the response to it.

That's going to be extremely helpful with that length on the wing. I believe Hunter and Anderson also have plus wingspans.

Hate to be an a$$, but geez, sometimes our fan base acts like the ugly kid in the corner of the party who thinks that a pretty girl will never talk to him, and can’t deal with it when she does.

We’ve got a great coach, a killer campus, great history, the best fans, chicks a go-go, some pretty good players already, and have seen five or six five stars at IU in the last ten years, and that was back when we had a goofy-a$$ coach running the show.

 

In other words; damn straight Romeo Langford chose IU...because it was the best choice.

 

So for those that are doing so, stop with the whiny inferiority complex, and stop wondering whether it’s a fluke; we’re about to get a regular progression of big time talent, and we’re about to start kicking some serious backside on a national level.

Everything you said about IU... Kansas has as well plus recent success.  It’s not a ‘fluke’ that Romeo chose IU, but it’s also not like we owned his rights.  Miller got him to come to IU through hard work and basketball knowledge.  He didn’t get him to IU because ‘this is Indiana.’.

I'd have to agree here. Sometimes it feels like the only thing powerful enough to break the curse of eternal pessimism is 5 more banners.

Even then, someone would complain that they're hung crookedly, lol

Bloomington is the best city in the country and no one will convince be otherwise. IU is the perfect place to go to college. It's got everything you see when "college" gets depicted in movies/tv. The campus is one of the biggest selling points for players, imo.

I'm glad you said city! My town is the greatest town in the country. The only problem? It's in Illinois. [emoji6]

This is just unreal. I can't remember a kid (just out of high school) getting this type of attention. I know the court is not a mega-dollar sort of thing, and maybe they were going to build one anyway, but the attention/platitudes he is getting seems very unique.

If he had won the state title would they have named the town after him?    :)

Romeo, Indiana? I like it.

[woodenshoemanHoosierfan]

I was thinking the same thing

Really seems like this young man deserves this.

[Hoosier Guy]

Not sure of this inferiority complex thing. Most fans expect IU to be good year in and year out and get great recruits. The only thing missing was a coach. That problem was solved

I don't want anyone to think I'm getting onto the kid about this. I'm not, and it wasn't his decision anyway. I just wonder.......was there no one who has done work with youth groups (cue up Joe Pesci saying "These two YOUTS") who might have been deserving? No person who has given of their time for years in helping the young people of the area? No one along those lines? Just doesn't feel right.

I'm not an expert on Romeo but do know many teachers in the NAFC school corporation. I've heard numerous reports that Langford has worked with youth around the county. I'm not sure how much he's done but it is good knowing that he's a giving person. Romeo has a bright future and the New Albany community will always have an outstanding representative in Romeo.

Just to enlighten...New Albany, population about 35thousand. Besides golfer Fuzzy Zoeller, and Olympic swimmer Camille Wright there is very little the number of athletes that have brought attention to our community. Add in Edwin Hubble (former NAHS BB coach and Science teacher) of fame for being the namesake of the Hubble space telescope. Romeo was the first Mr. Basketball, 4X HS All-American, MaxPreps POY. U19 Team USA etc. That's just a few of his basketball accolades. As a young man and citizen of this city, he has went well and beyond as a fine representative and example to not only his peers but to all. Romeo not only developed his skill in the local gyms, but on the courys at Community Park. A place that I also spent many of my days playing ball. We are talking about a court at a local park, not a colosseum. He is most deserved of this honor and has brought great joy and a sense of pride to our city.

I ran many a race and played a lot of soccer at that park. Also fished in that lake and watched ducks trying to land in the lake while it was frozen over. Good times!
