(2018) SG Romeo Langford - INDIANA HOOSIERS

[HinnyHoosier 6,535]

You literally said Schilling does help recruiting quite a bit. 
And all I said was the guy hasn't shown any results on that. 
You made a claim about the future I stated a fact about the present. There's nothing to agree or disagree about.  
We we as a fan base need to quit getting our hopes up and overhyping people  schilling is a guy with connections not sure about his recruiting chops though  didnt  he introduc the UCLA staff to Wilkes and somebody else led the recruitment  
 

But I am making observations about the present. He's not been through even a season in a new job tha often takes time to establish oneself. Evidently our two concepts of time are relative. I must be more patient than you.

People will see it your way. People will see it my way.

Reply how you wish. I don't mind DMs. I won't hijack the thread any longer.

Spoke with one of my bro in laws today about Romeo. He knows people around the area and feels Romeo is a Vandy lean at this point. This is an extremely interesting recruitment. What will hold up at the end?
- a chance at a title (KU)
- home state hero (IU)
- playing with a friend ? (VU)

Vandy’s wins so far this year....
UNC Asheville, Austin Peay, Radford, HBU & Alcorn State. I don’t see them winning much in conference either. Romeo said he wants to see how the season goes to see how each team does, so if he ends up choosing Vandy it shows he wanted them all along & kept IU on the list due to no other options and to get the in State fans enthusiastic about his senior year.

And yes IU has had two bad losses with ISU and Fort Wayne but other four losses have came against Duke, Louisville, Seton Hall and Michigan...All really good tourney teams

If he goes to Vandy he doesn’t care about winning and something shady is going on. Nothing about Drew’s coaching career warrants landing three five stars in a single class. 

It certainly suggests impropriety, especially with schools that normally aren't players for the top kids. However, I'm really reluctant to accuse without any substantial evidence. I think RL was a lock for Louisville until the FBI essentially slammed that door. At this point I don't think he's all that excited about any of the schools on his list.

I’ll believe Romeo to Vanderbilt when I see it

If you believe that and we mostly all do, don't you think Louisville was going to "take care" of the Langfords like they do all their prized recruits.

 

I think those that ignore the elephant in the room aren't seeing the whole picture.

 

His final 3 are Kansas, Vandy, and us. Louisville cut due to said violations.

 

Kansas is The hallmark program of shady recruiting. Vanderbilt is looking highly questionable this off season with Shittu after the Arizona scandal which it's safe to assume Arizona was willing to pay the going rate for Shittu. Then Louisville. And us. We seem to dance in the dark with a lot of these types of recruits and lose almost all of them.

 

Does that mean we (adidas-boosters-whomever) don't pay as much as the higher bidders. Do we not "pay" anything? Who knows? I think we offer some benefits and aren't crystal clean but we clearly don't offer the top "offers" when it comes to Preston, Bruce Brown, Goodluck, etc, etc.

 

Here's the thing for me. I don't fault the Langfords if this is the secret marketplace for top 100, top 50, top 10 guys. I just wish the playing field would be leveled somehow, someway.

Romeo's recruitment has been very weird. While on one hand it's nice not competing with a bunch of blue bloods for him right now, it's a little weird to me that Kentucky, MSU, Duke, UK, etc., aren't in his final 3, but Vandy is. It makes me wonder what exactly the Langfords are looking for...

[Hoosier Guy 8,333]

Louisville wouldn’t have had to do anything shady to get Romeo. They were the favorite before the sanctions surfaced

He'd win more at Vanderbilt with Garland and Shittu than he would at IU in all likelihood. 

[indianaranger 108]

Indiana will be a much better team next year.

Strongly disagree with that.

Maybe they already did something shady

If they are looking for something extra for the verbal anchors down is that place. Drew will have anchors down on probation within 5 years. Bank it.

Made me lol. Seems the 2010's version of Baylor in the 2000's in regards to recruiting.

Oh wait a minute...........
