Multiple things. Adidas. Income potential. Star potential. NBA dreams.

The kid isn’t truly ready for the NBA but the Marketing genius that was Langford’s dad and I guess maybe Adidas make it virtually impossible to comeback in my opinion. The risk of his perceived impact in the NBA could be hurt unless he played much much better next year in College. There is no guarantee that happens so imo it’s sad that his hype star shined so bright that he won’t likely live up to it in college.

I hope he does in the NBA.

How screwed up is it that the NBA would rather draft on potential than on demonstrated skills? A guy like Juwan is completely ignored by the NBA because......he's a known quantity. Whereas multiple kids that are an enticing blank canvas with "measurables" will get lottery money and  promptly be complete busts because they need a few years to develop. 

Romeo is an amazing talent that clearly needs another year or 2 to build his skill set. That shouldn't be punished, but that is how it is now.

How the heck doesn’t a reporter ask?  Weird. 

Too many homers in the IUBB media. It's ridiculous that nobody asked about Romeo. Even if you don't think you'll get a good answer, you still ask the question. Bozich and the rest are so scared of losing their press passes that they won't take even a chance of upsetting the program.

I don't think Juwan is ignored by the NBA because he's a known commodity. He's just a 6'7 post player who can't shoot all that well from outside or the free throw line. He's the kind of guy whose game is well-suited for college bball but not the NBA.

I’ve told him he’s a pansy before for not asking hard questions and he just made excuses about how he has to stay professional.

He would have to find the right situation in the NBA. As in playing for the Warriors.

Gotta love it lol. Rob and Romeo are always hanging out off the court. If there were two people that I'd think would be butting heads in the locker room, they'd be the last two I'd think of.

If this is from that same Facebook group I'm in, I go there anymore for the chuckles at the stupidity of some people. 

[RatpigHoosier 1,022]

How are we gonna replace Rob?!?! Should we rethink our recruiting strategy this late in the game or just live with DG at PG next year? This is a real bummer to hear.


And this post is facetious, for all of you “not able to get facetiousness” readers.

Wait... he's seen pics of the inside info? Like them actually butting heads?  Wow!

I would believe it too if he has the official insider badge in his credentials.

No, he likes his press passes and IU holds them over his and others heads on things like this. Best to not call one out for making a living for things you do not know. I guess the hot take without any semblance of a factual clue works better though.
