Maybe this is a topic for another thread and I'm not trying to be smart here, but I absolutely HATE the 'FCTC' acronym. I actually cringe when I see it.. Why not just say Crean? It's one extra letter.

Despite all that, your statement is 5000% right. lol.

I'm pretty sure TLDNR stands for the five greatest Hoosiers since the turn of the century: 

Tapak
Leach
Davis
Newton
Roberts

Obviously getting ahead of myself but what the heck, that's what message boards are for.

If Romeo were to come to IU, there would probably be no nights with empty balconies or no-show students, based on the number of people show up to NA games now.

He would create a Cody-like buzz around the program that's been missing for a while.

A lot of comparisons in the importance of getting Zeller v.s. Langford.  IMO, Romeo is more important because I think he can have a bigger impact.  I just hope he sees that the situation will be perfect for him to come to IU - he won't get anywhere near the opportunity and exposure anywhere else.

Alex Bozich from Inside the Hall seriously trolling Bryce Drew again:

Alex Bozich@insidethehall

Are we sure Bryce Drew can actually coach? Because those last two minutes of regulation were an abomination.

I saw that too.  It's a little embarrassing.  IU wasn't even competitive against OSU.  A mere two hours later IU fans are trolling Drew for losing a close one to a similarly ranked Kentucky at Rupp.

This schadenfreude schtick is getting a little old.

I've got to believe that it's more than just Schadenfreude (though Bozich's posts absolutely read as consistent Schaudenfreude). I wonder what his motivation is?

• His dad, Rick Bozich is THE veteran sports/basketball reporter for the Courier Journal right next to New Albany, so it is overwhelmingly likely that Alex has far more of a handle on the situation than almost anyone.
• I don't see Bozich trolling Kansas based on what he's hearing about their behavior in the Romeo sweepstakes. There's ample material to take the occasional Billy Preston/Lamborghini shot, for instance.
• It's stating the obvious to constantly remark on Drew's/Vandy's lack of results this year, and Alex doesn't give this treatment to any other program.
• Find it unlikely that Bozich is putting this stuff out there in an attempt to influence Romeo; I seriously doubt he's got the Langford family's attention in that way.
• Finally, if anything, Alex Bozich/ITH has a general reputation of being on the softball side of things over the years; not on this one!

So you think Bozich believes Romeo is going to Vandy?

 

Certainly wouldn't read a conclusion like that into it. However, I think it's reasonable to read into it that Bozich thinks that Vandy is either not playing within the rules, not telling the Langfords the truth, or is recruiting with some undue rumor and negativity toward IU.

That's my read. He is an IU fan. But I've never known or seen him make a dig at another program, just because he's simply worried IU may lose out on a recruit. It sounds like he knows or doesn't like how they approach recruiting. If the rumor is true that he has told reporters privately they are the leaders that's pretty unethical.

I've never known Alex, or Rick, to act out in this way. My guess is he believes (knows) Vandy is shady and is putting it out there in a different manner than normal. He's also thrown jabs at L$U.

I believe he knows things we don't. He's well versed on his brothers tactics and did some coverage with the Perrea recruitment. It's possible he may have some distrust of Bryce for that reason. But something tells me he knows something. The whole Vanderbilt/Garland recruitment has been a bizarre fiasco.

Definitely has that feel to it. That's why I mentioned it recently. It certainly seems outside of his typical behavior.

I don't think "alpha" is that big of an influence. Romeo's dad has repeatedly stated that this decision is in the best interest in Romeo.
