(2018) SG Romeo Langford - INDIANA HOOSIERS

[BtownBanner6 1,298]

I'm shocked by the lack of action on 247, I know he's hard to read but within a month of the decision and no predictions in months.

Bill Self is a great coach. I don't know why people on here bash him, Coack K, Calipari, you people just envy the success they have. If your successful you must be cheating. Smh

The FBI arrested a handful of assistant coaches in the initial sting. Specific players were mentioned ina list of players who received loans from the agency in question, including players from Duke and Kentucky.
I think what Mike did, which you seem to be having trouble doing, is determined that the FBI investigation and the evidence from it will force the NCAA to eventually respond to the findings. A difficult bit of mental gymnastics, but I'm confident in saying that his reasoning is sound.
On Kansas being dirty or not - you're absolutely right. Very few "facts" are out there implicating them. I think a bit more reasoning and logic can be applied in reviewing things such as players crashing Lamborghinis and a list of other suspicious player activities. After reviewing all the circumstantial evidence and in light of the evidence of payments in college basketball produced by the current FBI investigation, I don't know how you can logically defend Kansas as clean. You can't emphatically state that they are cheating, but fighting for Kansas' honor is not a hill I'd be willing to die on.

Here’s a fun quote:

“Under Armour confirmed this week that it sponsored two club teams run by the parents of star players. The company backs a team led by Apples Jones, whose son Josh Jackson was selected by the Phoenix Suns in the first round of the 2017 NBA draft. Documents obtained during the corruption probe and reported by Yahoo Sports include emails that describe monthly $10,000 payments from the Baltimore-based company to Jones.

"Under Armour is giving her 10k a month, and she's also getting paid by adidas now — so she's plenty taken care of," Dawkins wrote of Jones.

The cryptic email doesn't address why Adidas would pay into a program sponsored by a competing shoe company. But in Jackson's only year of college basketball, he played for the University of Kansas, which is sponsored by Adidas.”

Now kids, what does 2+2 equal?

The Villas are still there, as far as i know at least. I think there was another older apartment complex by the stadium that the company tore down to build this new one.

The villas are now "Stadium Crossing"

Can confirm it was Dunnhill apartments. Drove by it yesterday and let me tell you, it doesn't look ready for August at all.

Liable to just open 1 building at a time and have rolling move-in. However, a lot can be accomplished in 3 months of decent weather.

John beilein is what you call a great coach not bill self. Self has top 5 talent every year and is always a 1 or 2 seed. Most of the time it's in front of a very pro Kansas location. His tourney success is not that impressive. He has has a top speed almost every year. Beileins highest ranked player is # 65.

I love the fact that Darius Bazley was one of the more impressive players, because when he went head-to-head with Jerome Hunter this season, Jerome kinda lit him up and shut him down.

A lot of people know Darrell Arthur played on a national championship team but didn't graduate from high school. The people who could actually do something about it don't give a rip.

[AKHoosier 6,578]

So apparently Immanuel Quickly, who is Romeo's good friend and going to Kansas, guessed Romeo will go to Vanderbilt.  He admitted he's just guessing though.

Where did he play? Say it wasn't Kansas, surely it wasn't Kansas.

The ncaa could care less. In fact they probably aren't very happy the fbi found out what they have. Kansas is untouchable to the ncaa

So I was listing to ESPN on my way home. I normally listen to Fox sports because ESPN local in my area has UK hillbillies on the air strutting their stuff.  Anyway, UK ESPN local radio host was saying the one of the best players left in 2018 class, I think he was talking about Montgomery, was going to visit UK, Duke, Carolina and when asked about which coach he had the best relationship with so far, the young man said it was coach Drew at Vanderbilt.

So for the first time ever I was agreeing with this arrogant UK lover that it seems odd for another 5 star recruit is bonding better with the coach of Vandy then he is with all those big name schools who are lining up for him. 

I have been liking the way things have been sounding lately with Romeo, but this type of stuff is the reason I worry about Vanderbilt  more than a winning Kansas thousands of miles away.

 

[Bailey7878 2,506]

There is an article in the Courier Journal that mentions Vandy is trying to get Romeo down for another visit. So far, nothing is planned.
Also, don’t expect any positive news for IU this week. Garland will be putting out a lot of pro Vandy spin as you might expect.

And leaking it. He is a leaker.

Duke and UNC are much better universities academically than IU while sporting elite basketball programs. You can do both. It can be done and is being done.

If we are talking UNC, I don't know if fake classes really count as 'doing it both'.
