Just thinking out loud, but Romeo picking IU would definitely be great PR for IU in southern Indiana.  It would make IU a cool school to go to, which is good for our exposure in that area of the state.  Too many people down there are UK/UL fans, sometimes because IU just gives them nothing to cheer for lately.

Getting Romeo would go a long way in changing that.  

I just get so damn sick of seeing that "Southern Indiana is Louisville Country" billboard down there.

I agree that RoMeO would definitely help but, as someone living in Southern Indiana currently, I think IU winning will help more than anything.  There are UK and UL fans but the IU and PU fans outnumber all of them, IMO.  Of course we typically don't pay much attention to those PU/UK/UL folks and what they have to say.  Obviously, one has to questions their decision making abilities.

I thought I saw where someone mentioned he'd been offered by Ball State and somebody else.

According to a rumor from another site,  IU is planning on making Sean East a preferred walk on.

Could help with Romeo if true

At least it hasn't been annexed by Kentucky yet. Another decade of basketball futility and we may start losing a few counties.

The last guy from that area that IU landed (unless I'm wrong) was Sherron Wilkerson ...

No, he isn’t good enough. Even the mid majors passed on him. Preferred walk-on is the best he could hope for at IU.

 He's pretty damn good man.

Larry Bird wasn't too bad although he didn't stick around very long.

Hulls, Dee Davis, Bryant McIntosh, Jaquan Lyle, Musa Jallow, THE ZELLERS. 

Plenty of talent still being produced.

I was thinking about that area they call "Kentuckiana" ...(Louisville and the Indians counties bordering the river) ... Not many players from there lately at all ... We did grab Remy Abell from Louisville a few years back but he didn't stick around either. I loved watching Remy play

Ha! I grew up in the area ... I escaped unscathed by the Kentucky/Louisville stench but that's what they call it. .. northern Indiana has "The Region" ... Southern Indiana has "Kentuckiana"

HA!  Yeah, I am in Santa Claus (an hour from Evansville, and an hour from Louisville).  I am hoping you hear more from our area soon!  The 2021 class has some talent!  (Montgomery, Hopf, Sisley) We'll see how they all develop!  We need to keep Michael Lewis out of here .. I hear he's already in on Montgomery (rumor so who knows).

Yep which we did land Remy Abell from Louisville a few years ago...

I saw where UofL had 3 starters from Louisville high schools the other night. That's pretty impressive. We don't recruit that area all that well

Definitely understand.. Everyone is a UK/Louisville fan down there. Born in New Albany, grew up in Corydon. Live in Indianapolis now and just have to deal with Purdue fans.

Remy was our first KY recruit in like 30 years if I recall correctly.  Also, he was uncertain about his IU future, and after talking about a possible Xavier transfer then saying he didn't want to leave, CTC gave him a hard boot.  Many, many stories support this and it was yet another of CTC's "these things work themselves out" moves.  IMO, Crean's extreme narcissism took control.

Wasn't Remy found drunk on a sorority lawn?
