That's all great man, talking to players and interviewing them would never get me answers or be able to find out things that others wouldn't huh? Lol,  I wasn't pretending to know where he is going. I can't really go into detail on things without getting in trouble so I'm not going to and that's why I shared things that if you pay attention, have been reported by others as well. It must be the way I say things that rubs some people wrong, but everything that you're talking about was the GARLAND RECRUITMENT. I also admitted that I was completely wrong on that as were plenty of others, so it'd be really awesome if that wasn't the go to anymore. I also appreciate the advice, but I'd rather not emulate anyone but myself, which has led to some pretty cool relationships when it comes to IU and the recruiting world. Thanks for the concern though.

Thanks for your info it is appreciated!

Not to pile on.. but kind of.. You were also claiming that you had ‘insider knowledge’ that Billy Donovan was going to be the next IU head coach.

Look, you’re trying to use the forum as a sounding board for the beginnings of your sports journalism career, and as someone consuming your work, I’ve provided you feedback. Do with it what you will. Good luck!

We talk about the pros and cons of IU/Vanderbilt/Kansas, (over)analyze the game visits and coaching visits, bicker about why he hasn't committed before his clearly stated timeline, etc, etc.

My take, and this may have already been discussed so I apologize if that's the case, is that he is already building his brand. He's doing it after each game. I think he does it because he is a considerate and fine young man. He may not even realize it's building his off-court persona (or at least didn't when he started this). But, if he realizes IU is one heck of an opportunity to build his brand as a legend in the state of Indiana's basketball lore, obliging himself to the IU faithful is a good start to do just that. Couple it with the huge potential of IU to compete next year, and I mean really compete, it's a nice combination for a guy that's heading to the big stage soon.

I’ve been cautiously optimistic about our chances with Romeo for the past few months. I’m dropping the cautiously as of the last few days. I feel really good about this next month and I think all Hoosier fans should as well.

Not sure where he is getting his info that we have possibly slipped.

Pretty sure he was talking about Kansas and just messed up his typing. Doesn’t make any sense the way it is currently written

Not sure where he is getting his info that we have possibly slipped.

These two sentences do not go together...

"I think Indiana has helped its chances this year and even though the Hoosiers appear to have possibly slipped some..."

"Wish I had more, but things are pretty quiet right now and I’ve not heard any hot rumors of late regarding him."

Maybe he's been talking to Drewfus again. Point being that if it's been quiet lately, how can he surmise that the Hoosiers have "possibly slipped some."

Click Bait! There has been no "new" info surface recently, and the Langford's have done a marvelous job of keeping this tight lipped. So they have to create some suspense artificially!

Bossi is being honest. Nobody has heard anything.

Oh people are singing like canaries in New Albany, but like I said a couple weeks ago,  anyone claiming to know is hedging their bets from what I've gathered. 

This whole thing has definitely spread across the state. But I believe it's rumor mixed with optimism which started a blaze across the state.

In NA, it's 15-18 year olds gossiping and getting info to parents.

In Carmel, it's a basketball guy who claims to have a connection to Jim Shannon going back to his days at Anderson. (I don't think Jim Shannon knows, because I don't think Romeo knows)

In Indianapolis, it's my Uncle who only runs around with pro-IU boosters who are told pro-IU rumors.

In Seymour, it's another Uncle who does have basketball connections back to his HS days- but again...

It's Adidas reps in Indy pushing an agenda.

In Rushville, it's my Grandpa who thinks Romeo is going to IU because thats the "feeling at church."

I guess my point is, it does "feel" like IU in the state but what it is in the Langford home I fully admit I do not know- and haven't found someone I "feel" does.
