(2018) SG Romeo Langford - INDIANA HOOSIERS

Rick Bolus tweeting that people close to NA program are predicting Romeo to IU.
Bolus is a 69 year old Kentucky basketball camp legend. Betcha he’s pretty tight with Shannon.

The more I thought about if Romeo is going to iu why wait another month to announce? Nobody knows anything including bolus. It's all a total guess.

I don't get all the freak out about him waiting. He's building his brand, if he waits till after the hoop summit him committing will be the biggest thing left of high school basketball for the year and everyone will be paying attention.

Ya know, the “waiting on Louisville” rumor is intriguing to me. While I believe there is absolutely no truth to the rumor, it did get me thinking about other possible reasons for delaying his commitment even further. Does anyone know if there is anything slated to happen between now and mid-April that he could possibly be ‘waiting’ on? Any announcement/news from teams or players? Anything expected to happen with the NBA in that timeframe? Any other theory besides he “he wants to finish his playing obligations?”

I heard it this am on my way to work.  I previously thought the same.  What else could he be waiting for?   I think we have the best chance but it makes me nervous.

Don't worry, UofL has no chance. They won't be able to hire any big named coach for awhile. Nobody will take over sh*t storm going on there.

All fan bases have idiots IU included. But U of L and UK are a special breed of stupid.

Yes they are! Of course that's what they were saying about us when all of the Billy D talk wad going on.

I’m all about the positive news but I worry about Romeo’s announcement spotlight being stolen/leaked and it having a negative impact or changing somehow. Not saying this is true or isn’t and nothing directed at you, just my preference that I hope things like this if it is IU don’t somehow change our chances at the last minute.

I'd be worried about this too but i feel like a bunch of people that are "in the know" have made statements like this about Vanderbilt or Kansas as well so hopefully it evens everything out if that were to be the case

No one knows but Romeo and his family

My buddy just sent me a video on fb messenger... right after Bell hit the shot on Saturday, a WC fan (almost guaranteed to be a HSer) shoved Romeo in the back as he was walking away, Romeo doesn't even turn to acknowledge the fan. Pretty lame by that fan, regardless of their age.

It just hit me why Romeo might be waiting. He is waiting to see what the rosters look like after everyone either transfers, declares for the draft, or graduate transfers commit to the different teams. He isn't going to Louisville because that would look awful on his part after all the time these 3 coaches have put in. Romeo isn't Garland.

I got that one too. The person who sent it to me also said the WC student section was chanting “Romeo Sucks”. I had hoped the video was a fake. Anyone but Romeo and we’d probably have seen haymakers. Glad he just walked away.

Not surprising when you’re talking about WC unfortunately. Typical East Side.

I was at the game and the fans were classless. They were waving good bye and the players didnt stop celebrating to shake hands. Nothing but aholes. High school sports has really changed since i was in school. Romeo is good kid and doesnt deserve that.

Rumor is Romeo will pay attention to one roster. He knows Kansas will have talent regardless whether Newman stays or not is not a factor as some have said. Grimes is a born scorer so if anything he would bother him more. At Vandy he knows what things will likely look like. He is curious about Juwan Morgan though. Most know Juwan wouldn't get drafted most likely but that hasn't stopped guys from leaving in the past. If he knows the chances of coming in with Morgan are high, IU looks A LOT more appealing. Most could've guessed that, but just sharing the rumors flowing that I came across today and that it could be a reason he is delaying things. Also not announcing at McDonald's game has gave them some freedom to not rush it. 

I've also talked to some people close to the Evansville program and they think Ryan Taylor will come down to Arizona, IU, Purdue, UCLA & of course it wouldn't be normal if the powerhouse Vandy wasn't in it. Point is if we land one of these guys, let alone both I think our chances of a B1G title run are high.

Not comfortable putting De'Ron in there yet until I know he will be ready and once he is our lineup would change. Devonte Green & Clifton Moore are wildcards depending on whether they stay or go.

Juwan will most certainly dip his toe in... he’d be silly not to gather free advice.  However, he doesn’t have to pull his name until June 21st.  RL will have to decide on feel.
