It's not going to happen. On one level I don't blame him for taking the money. Anybody watching yesterday's game can see he isn't ready to play in the NBA. But who wants to sit on the bench all season. Big difference between sitting on a bench and getting paid millions to sit on a bench. thebigweave and ray 2 Quote

Appears the next game isn't until Saturday now... hopefully that gives the back time to feel better and this is truly an injury situation and nothing nefarious. I really hope Archie isn’t allowing him to sit because of the draft. I’d lose a lot of respect for him if that’s the case. Str8Hoosiers 1 Quote
BigJoe Posted March 20, 2019 Posted March 20, 2019 He will not be sitting..He will be playing...in the G League..just like Noah and Bryant etc Quote

That's a fine line, honestly...what does it say to future 5 star recruits if he does make him play, especially if he knows that player is gonna go pro. Maybe future recruits would pass on Indiana after seeing that. I'm not saying it would or wouldnt happen, but I could see both sides HoosierDYT 1 Quote

If fact, I'd venture to say he should be starting. And Noah was starting for the Knicks, don't know if that's still true though. Andrew_114 1 Quote

I didn’t mean to insinuate that he should make him play. I meant to insinuate that he shouldn’t be sitting with the team. And that’s the kind of message I would want Archie to send to future recruits. If you’re willing to put yourself before the team, Indiana isn’t the right fit for you. Maybe my views are old school, but my allegiance is to the university, not the program. And I want to watch players who are there to represent the university. To me, that’s more important than our record. d_wilson787 1 Quote

Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app I was at the game at the Big Ten tourney and there was a definite moment before he went to the locker room where he was wincing and grabbing at his lower back on the way back downcourt on defense. The St. Francis game he wasn't needed for (or at least there shouldn't be any reason to think we would need him) and for that reason if there was any lingering tweak he shouldn't have played. If he doesn't play Saturday, I'm sure that conspiracy theorists will be afoot. That doesn't mean there wrong, just there will be people that will be saying he isn't playing because he doesn't want to risk injury before entering the draft. Quote
Honkyman Posted March 25, 2019 Posted March 25, 2019 Romero deserves the benefit of the doubt. He had an injury and he's sitting out until he feels he is ready to play. Back injuries can be difficult to recover quickly from. I don't know why there is all this discussion. Who cares if some fan thinks he's faking it? Besides, without Romero we're getting a taste of next year's play and its not as bad as some thought it might be. Substitute Trayce Jackson-Davis for Juwan Morgan and you've basically got next year's team. (OK we'll also be without McRoberts and Fitzner who have both looked decent in the NIT).
