Some people just can’t handle good news. Would we be as dismissive if Evans said Vandy or Kansas was the leader?
Hardly. I'm just not getting my hopes way up anymore given how garland played out and half of the inside source connected guys say he's going to vandy. I think iu but who knows.

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.
 
PG: Rob Phinisee/Al Durham
SG: Romeo Langford/Damezi Anderson/Vijay Blackmon
SF: Ryan Taylor/Jerome Hunter/Zach McRoberts
PF: Justin Smith/Race Thompson
c: Juwan Morgan/Jake Forrester
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. 

Agree on the Morgan situation and some of us have speculated that RL may want to know if Morgan will return.

Yes the NCAA is pathetic but U of L fans also have no shame. They care only about the unfair and uneven treatment by the NCAA. But they don't really care about the shenanigans that were going on or the culture of their program. With Jurich at the helm they would hire any scum bag as long as they win big.

Agreed

Regardless, it's nice to see some "experts" believe we are front runners for Brooks, TJD, and Langford. As someone on this board once said, positive un-sourced news is better than negative un-sourced news. 

While I realize there is an almost invisible internet presence for VU, from what little I've seen of their boards they don't seem to react to or even acknowledge anything posted that opposes their belief that they will get Romeo (or whoever they want).  I base this on the "14power" board (which should probably just be named the "14fans" board, LOL).

They think they have EJ Montgomery locked up as well. I guess its the draw on memorial magic!!!!

Never seen this twitter account before and not saying this is legit, just passing it along since I happened to see it if no one else has. Could be just someone else posting what they hear from other people who don’t really know anything.

Thanks for sharing, but I'm not buying that anything is a done deal until RoMeO says it publicly.  Definitely very positive news if true though!  #cautiouslyoptimistic

Ha yep, I didn’t think about looking at the number of followers he had when that post popped up on the iubb twitter feed. Agreed, it’s most likely someone grabbing all these rumors from everywhere and trying to use them to make himself sound legit when it’s stuff we’ve all already heard from various places a time or thousand.

Just an average guy who loves IU. I usually cover IU football recruiting as most know, but I've been dipping my toes in the sand on the basketball front. I appreciate that though. Sorry I don;t get to stick around longer to discuss in depth much but Btown is what made me want to start writing. I've loved coming here for years and my Crean4president account should not be held against me lol. Namely the name itself. The least I could do is throw a few bones every so often though I can't give much more. Lots of new users on here which I welcome but the guys that have been on here for awhile and the mods made this place awesome and continue to do so. I'll be here as long as I'm welcome.

Not many people I talk to really pay attention to the GF news, but I have tried confirming it with people and haven't had much luck. As some have said though Juwan may not be decided on his decision before Romeo announces, but he is basing it off feel. I'd guess Archie will talk in depth with them about it and maybe even Juwan. I'm curious as to when he visits if he does. Sounds like that is still very much a part of the plan, but once he has it wrapped up and with the McDonald's game Saturday, we could be getting close. There is talk a decision could come sooner than originally planned because New Albany loss, but it won't be by much. Personally I like our chances at the moment though. Things could change but the Langford's seem to be very calculated in the way they have handled this, so I don't expect much to change from now and up until the announcement.

I believe ultimately where he makes the announcement is the tell. If in New Albany, I'll call it IU. Anywhere else, all bets are off.

Question.. Is it possible that Drew attends the McDonalds game? I'm sure he doesn't have any visits left with Romeo but has 2 commitments with Garland and Shittu selected also. Could be pulling some recruiting strings from behind the scenes.
