(2018) SG Romeo Langford - INDIANA HOOSIERS

[Bailey7878 2,506]

I'm still laughing at the backlash comments that have been made since November. 

We were told he was announcing after the season to avoid the backlash. Season has been over now for over a month. Lol.

I really was hoping that if he indeed were picking B-Town, he'd make his announcement today. It's IU day after all. Could there have been a more perfect opportunity? Oh well, as long as he's wearing the candy stripes next season, I'm not that concerned with the date ...

So much points to IU it's hard to think otherwise, but I do know the Langford family is smart. They've always knew they had Indiana in their back pocket and now they are using that relationship and holding out until more and more national attention decides to talk about it. Honestly in terms of branding, they have played this better than any recruit in a long time. Not many had the attention that he has drawn to do it and that plays a part, but it's still an A+ effort I will say that.

Using the IU fanbase to draw attention to his announcement and then committing to another school in front of them would be the ultimate Dick move and squander any goodwill he had built up. That would be the dumbest thing he could do.

Yeah, fair or not, the state of Indiana would turn on him if he did that. If you care about your "brand" you don't do something that you know will piss off hundreds of thousands of people.

You're not wrong there. Over and over his brand is what ends up getting brought up though and the moves they have done have only made things stronger in that department. In the end, I believe IU fans will reap the benefits. I don't do percentages or nothing though just my opinion regardless of what I'm told or I hear. 12 more days everyone!! THANK GOD

Let's save that until he announces. If he does decide elsewhere, Romeo never asked for any of this. In fact he has spent more than enough time signing autographs & taking pictures with fans that suggest his brand isn't the only thing that mattered if he didn't choose IU. He'd be crazy not to honestly. The next year is going to be when he gains all his loyal fans to add to the ones he has now to battle on twitter with other players fans lol. That was a joke obviously.

He has to be a genuinely good kid to do the things he's done and handle himself the way he does. While I will be very disappointed if he doesn't pick IU, I will hold no ill will. 

[southsidehoosier 5,117]

That's going to be a lot of autographs to sign after he announces. At least Archie will get the first signature.

Each day that goes by without any evidence of yet another contact from Vandy or Kansas is another positive sign that his recruitment is over.

He would want to stay away from the state for awhile. It would make no sense.

They are claiming they are a victim. Unreal.

SIAP, I saw this linked article on another site, and the Vanderbilt fans are loving it on their board.  They are a confident bunch, hope they're wrong.

Not that Dan Vance is anti-IU (very, very much), but his Twitter feed background is a Duke logo, and a few weeks ago he posted this pic with a "chasingromeo" hashtag:

By his logic Romeo should be going to Kansas, then maybe Indiana, and certainly not Vandy. What an idiot.

NO, if he wants to win now, Vandy comes before IU. Clearly  Vandy is set to win much more than IU, at least according to goober Dan.
