(2018) SG Romeo Langford - INDIANA HOOSIERS

[Brass Cannon]

I would support a chef also. Make sure they can eat right if they want. And make it easier than eating poorly to boot. 

[jake11forever]

Yeah, jake can forever burry his head in his butt but it is all out there for the world to see. Kansas is and has been a cheating cesspool and gotten worse under self. The list of BS is miles long. The NCAA wanted nothing to do with it including players crashing lambos on campus but hopefully the fbi corrects it all soon

Nice comment but you don't even have the facts straight. The FBI isn't going after the schools they could care less about college athletics they are investigating the agency

Can we get back to more conspiracy theories on Romeo, please!  I need my fix for the day, and arguing over dorms isn't doing it.

Doesn’t make you less of a fan. 
My opinion on the subject is college basketball is a business. Basketball/football pay for all the other sports. So you need to treat it as such. When you struggle you make less $$. When you do well you make $$ and it also increases applicants to the university. Basketball is a window to IU for the outside world. It behooves IU to make IU basketball as good as it can be. Why not go all out and be on par with the rest of the elite schools on facilities. If I had my choice I’d rather have a chef and plush living. Especially if I’m not a one and done. I might not ever get to live in luxury again. 

But can they treat them different? I thought IU as a University did not allow the AD office to make that happen.

The FBI arrested a handful of assistant coaches in the initial sting. Specific players were mentioned ina list of players who received loans from the agency in question, including players from Duke and Kentucky.

I think what Mike did, which you seem to be having trouble doing, is determined that the FBI investigation and the evidence from it will force the NCAA to eventually respond to the findings. A difficult bit of mental gymnastics, but I'm confident in saying that his reasoning is sound.

On Kansas being dirty or not - you're absolutely right. Very few "facts" are out there implicating them. I think a bit more reasoning and logic can be applied in reviewing things such as players crashing Lamborghinis and a list of other suspicious player activities. After reviewing all the circumstantial evidence and in light of the evidence of payments in college basketball produced by the current FBI investigation, I don't know how you can logically defend Kansas as clean. You can't emphatically state that they are cheating, but fighting for Kansas' honor is not a hill I'd be willing to die on.

As my first year IU torts professor (shoutout to Prof Dworkin) said:

If you look at the weather forecast before bed and hear that there will be 8 inches of snow falling, and then wake up in the morning to see eight inches of snow on your lawn, it's circumstantial evidence that the snow fell from the sky.

It is, however, compelling circumstantial evidence. 

Players like Billy Preston, Josh Selby, Cliff Alexander, Josh Jackson, and so many others at Kansas have compelling circumstances that very strongly indicate they were paid by some entity, at a minimum a shoe company or agent. That doesn't mean that the evidence has been fully vetted, or that the KU staff was part of the payments or discussion. But the KU staff could see the compelling circumstantial evidence as easily (in fact, more easily) than we could.

Paraphrasing on what stands out...

Indiana: Coach Miller. Coach Schilling and the skill development guys he had at UCLA.

Vanderbilt: Drewfus played in the league and runs a pro system.

Kansas: History with big guards

 

The little pause between Indiana and all stars at around 1:15 almost made me jump out of my seat

Sure.

Hoosier guy says he's coming to IU!

Wonder how the classes went when Roy was the coach!

It’s all connected and makes no difference what the FBI is probing for, if they uncover that Pitino was paying a player to come to Louisville, the school and NCAA has no choice but to act.

The NCAA would never have uncovered that without he FBI and same for Kansas

I think it was to Dunnhill than the Villas. It's right behind the convenient store. Now they just to hurry and get it finished. It looks like they are behind schedule of being move in ready in August.

Can confirm it was Dunnhill apartments. Drove by it yesterday and let me tell you, it doesn't look ready for August at all.

Yes I have heard they are worried they won't be done in time and will be offering people money for a hotel in August.

WOW! That would get quite expensive depending on how many apartments aren't finished, and how long into August it'd take.

He’s very good, game comes easy. As for where he’s going, he’s maybe the single hardest to read recruit I’ve covered in almost 20 years in the business.

Eric Bossi

This was his answer when asked how good and where is Romeo going

I took a big step back from this recruitment for a full week and I legitimately do not think I've missed a single thing

[BtownBanner6]

I'm shocked by the lack of action on 247, I know he's hard to read but within a month of the decision and no predictions in months.

Bill Self is a great coach. I don't know why people on here bash him, Coack K, Calipari, you people just envy the success they have. If your successful you must be cheating. Smh

Here, read this (thanks to the poster in the College Basketball thread): http://www.oregonlive.com/business/index.ssf/page/the_loyalty_game.html

Here’s a fun quote:

“Under Armour confirmed this week that it sponsored two club teams run by the parents of star players. The company backs a team led by Apples Jones, whose son Josh Jackson was selected by the Phoenix Suns in the first round of the 2017 NBA draft. Documents obtained during the corruption probe and reported by Yahoo Sports include emails that describe monthly $10,000 payments from the Baltimore-based company to Jones.

"Under Armour is giving her 10k a month, and she's also getting paid by adidas now — so she's plenty taken care of," Dawkins wrote of Jones.

The cryptic email doesn't address why Adidas would pay into a program sponsored by a competing shoe company. But in Jackson's only year of college basketball, he played for the University of Kansas, which is sponsored by Adidas.”

Now kids, what does 2+2 equal?

The Villas are still there, as far as i know at least. I think there was another older apartment complex by the stadium that the company tore down to build this new one.

The villas are now "Stadium Crossing"
