(2018) SG Romeo Langford - INDIANA HOOSIERS

[Bailey7878]

Agree, but the Crean situation got complicated when he won the B1G is 15-16. The real mistake was not making the move after the 13-14 season but don't recall what the candidate situation would have been like. Not making an all-out blitz for Stevens at any time is difficult to swallow.
However, we shouldn't make mountains out of molehills. We have a very solid foundation for the next several years and can make a big splash with the '19 class to get this thing rolling.

He should of been fired two years before he was period. At the time I said that I got mocked. Glass set us back another four years by keeping him already knowing his ceiling. At this point all we do is rebuild.

I love to read all of these tidbits that people share. It's fun. But in the end, I know no one really knows. That's why I do not get out of sorts if it's not a pro Indiana tidbit or overly excited if it's pro Indiana.

Recruiting momentum would be huge with Romeo. But lets say we miss Romeo but bring in a grad transfer guard who averages 16+ ppg. Would there be THAT much difference?

Imo anybody who can put the ball in the round circle would be a huge help. People act like we are a disaster right now but i dont think we are far from being decent. We lack a shooter if we made shots we would be looking alot better than we are right now

Grad transfer would be an absolute must.

Interesting update from Bossi. He must have heard something this weekend.

According to Eric Bossi

Vanderbilt head coach Bryce Drew was on hand with an assistant and it seems the Commodores and Kansas are starting to open up some distance between themselves and Langford's other finalist, Indiana. There's always time for things to change and even though Langford says he doesn't feel pressure to stay home, he has to be feeling it some. But, it looks like Archie Miller may have landed the IU job a little too late to keep Langford home.

If he does not come to iu it's not because Archie landed to late
By signing in the spring that gave us a year to recruit him. Plenty of time. I simply don't believe anchors down is in the lead.

I think it is extremely unlikely that IU is a tournament team next year without him.

Then maybe Archie isn’t a great recruiter. I know that was a complaint Dayton fans had about him.

I'm not sold on Miller, but to be fair who could recruit well at Dayton?  I mean, it's Dayton.

In my opinion they could easily be a tourney team without him next year. Going deep in the tourney might be a different story but honestly it doesn’t take much to be a tourney team anymore. Look at the rosters of the last 4 teams in the tournament the last 5 years. Last year Vandy made it in at 19-15.

So what happen to the Bill Self rubbed the Langford family the wrong way on his Kansas visit back in October? 

 

I guess another false rumor.

Agree completely. A good shooter and both the Duke and UofL games could very easily have been a different outcome. DD and JM are playing well down low. A knock down shooter completely changes things. This has been one of the absolute worse shooting teams that I can remember at IU. Another year of getting this defense down will be a huge plus going into next season. By the way, I don't think Bossi has heard anything new, just what he formulates in his noggin. I will and still say, that my homeboy will be wearing candy stripes next year. Formulate that! ROOAAAR!

True. Louisville and Kentucky have blown us out of the water over the last 15 years. We have been down so long I don’t know if we ever recover. I don’t blame the coaches. I blame the ADs who hired the coaches and allowed them to run our program into the ground.

You know, I thought along those lines too, but have noticed all of the young kids down here really repping the IU gear at the HS games this season.

I see plenty of younger kids reposing IU gear down here. UL has probably grown the most since I was younger but still plenty of young IU fans.

See what most don't realize is that UofL went from a reqionally known school (except bb) to a well rounded athletic destination. Whether dirty or not, Jurich operated liked a Vegas developer. A grand vision, driven, bully attitude.

A lot of hype on miller and alot of hype on every coach we've hired. I was glad to get rid of crean but Miller's never won at this level. We won't know for a few years he could be great or could be another bust.

IU refuses to be bold and get a big name coach. Fred wants to be top dog and a Billy Donovan type hire would threaten his power.

You post some of the least intelligent things I’ve read on this board, and that includes “five thugs at once” and some drunk rants from Natty.

Some people can’t take brutally honest assesments of the IU athletics department. That’s why the snowflakes on Peegs whine to the mods about my posts.

I’d love to read some intelligible assessments with arguments supported by facts.

I do even if we are talking about a team that is a year away from taking the court. Even without knowing who will be on the team or which player has made significant jumps they can still make the tourney. I’ve watched South Florida, Bosie St, La Salle, St Mary’s, kanas st(8-10 in big 12), Vandy, Wake,Iowa(lost 6 of their last 7 games) and Tulsa all earn at-large bids to the tourney in the last 6 years. I’m confident that IU would have just as much talent next year then some on those teams that have earned a bid in years past.
